Slay the Princess is an indie horror game and visual novel. Beneath it's intriguing premise is a philosophical, warm, and empathetic examination of love and change. I found myself obsessed with understanding Slay the Princess' perspective on relationships, and I wanted to share my conclusions in this video essay. Thanks so much for watching!
