I've just finished my first full run-through of the game and I can already tell I'll do at least 2 more runs through. I'm absolutely obsessed!

I'm not usually one for horror games but the devs have balanced the horror elements perfectly to the point where it becomes my favourite kind of horror, a tragedy. I don't want to include spoilers because I'm hoping that this review will possibly encourage someone to play the game but there are several moments in Slay the Princess where I had to sit and think for a bit or put the game down and take a break because I was so struck with either the poignancy, tragedy, depth, or reality of the choices I'd made and the relationship my character has with the princess.

Also, huge huge shout out to the voice actors, they do so incredibly and were perfectly cast.
