hey did you know that slay the princess is out now? did you know it's on sale with a 10% launch discount until november 2nd? do you want to spend several hours getting sternly lectured by and annoying jonathan sims?? well this is your game
i think it's good and you should buy it but don't listen to me look at that 91 metascore—and for us, just a couple of lil guys make a game with no gameplay other than click dialogue options! idk must be fun
“An existentially horrific visual novel, with an incredibly well-written plot, a beautiful score and graphics that will enrapture all senses. One of the best narrative games of 2023.”
10/10 – Voxel Smash
“There isn’t a single thing I don’t like about Slay the Princess. The presentation is beautiful, the story is fantastic and moving, the voice acting of amazing characters is done phenomenally well, and the branching paths of the story give you what feels like unlimited possibilities.”
10/10 – Try Hard Guides
“Slay the Princess will stay with you for a long time, I think. It’s absurdist and dark and haunting in a way that not a lot of games are. If you have an itch for something that’s spooky but also morally confronting and you will be thinking about it for days to come, it’s impossible not to recommend this.”
A- – Player 2
Anyways more seriously truly from the bottom of our hearts thank you all so much for making this launch a world-shifting experience for us! We can't wait to share more games with you, starting with Episode 5 of Scarlet Hollow 👀
Well folks, there's someone I'd like you to meet. This is Frederick in Step 2. He is Tamarack's daddy. But don't call him Mr. Baumann, that's his father. You can call him Dr. Baumann. He is not a medical doctor, he has a PhD in physical science.
So, is he a great guy with extremely good reasons for why he's not raising his own daughter? No, not really. At least he exists and you see his face at some point, I guess. Sorry Tamarack.

Decided to finally go through and size-up how much writing we've done for Episode 5 and it's apparently already 195,000 words long. It'll be about double that once it's done. Maybe more 🙃
For reference: Slay the Princess has ~158,000 words in total.
Episode 4 had ~185,000 words in total.
Anyways please bear in mind that this is the main reason it's taking us so gottang long to put this out. And when it comes, know that there will be much much much much much Content™ for you to explore!
Here's another one of the neat graphics that was made for the upcoming Kickstarter campaign page 💕
