From its release, Slay the Princess felt like a perfect game. The story is incredibly addictive, pulling you in with a surprisingly beautiful narrative in its own way. But with The Pristine Cut update, the game has improved even more. The new endings are fantastic, adding an extra layer of complexity and emotion that makes the experience even more immersive.

One of the most satisfying aspects is that completing the game 100% takes quite a few hours, giving it immense replayability. Every route and conclusion is another piece of the puzzle that fits perfectly into the story.

I was lucky enough to be one of the first people—or perhaps the first—to achieve 100%, although Steam isn’t always consistent with real-time achievement data. Regardless, I can wholeheartedly recommend Slay the Princess: it’s a masterpiece that anyone who loves deep stories and challenges should experience...
