As a long-time fan of gripping narratives and haunting visuals, I’ve been eagerly awaiting this very moment – the release of The Pristine Cut for Slay the Princess. Being an ardent follower of Black Tabby Games since their Scarlet Hollow days, I can confidently say that they have outdone themselves yet again.
In simpler terms, “The Pristine Cut” refers to the latest version of the popular 2023 horror visual novel game, “Slay the Princess,” which has received high praise from critics.
Following the previous minor “End of Everything” update, I’ve found myself immersed in a whole new gaming world with this latest release. The “Pristine Cut” introduces an abundance of fresh content, enhances gameplay experience with quality-of-life tweaks, offers more language options, and even extends the game to new console platforms.
This implies that “Slay the Princess” has undergone significant improvements, making it larger, enhanced, and easier to play for gamers worldwide.
Is Slay the Princess a horror game?
For those not familiar, “Slay the Princess” is an eye-catching visual novel created by independent game studio Black Tabby Games, who are also recognized for their other visual novel titled “Scarlet Hollow”.
In this game, the player assumes the character of an unidentified hero who is assigned a challenging mission: to defeat a certain princess. The player can participate in lengthy, fully-voiced discussions with the narrator, the main character (the princess), and the protagonist’s own thoughts and feelings (akin to the dialog system found in the popular role-playing game Disco Elysium)).
To get the most out of “Slay the Princess”, it’s advisable to go in with minimal knowledge about the story. Any additional details could potentially ruin the surprise elements.
To put it another way, upon first glance, it’s worth asking whether “Slay the Princess” falls under the horror genre. The game’s unique, dark-and-light pencil artwork certainly catches the eye and has an undeniably spooky atmosphere.
Additionally, you’ll find a detailed list of content warnings on the developer’s site, indicating clearly that this game may not be suitable for those with a weak stomach.
At the outset, the game will make it clear to the player that it’s essentially a love story. In this regard, the game maintains complete honesty. Essentially, Slay the Princess is a gothic horror romance, carrying all the intense emotions that come with it.
And that experience is now all the better with The Pristine Cut.
Is The Pristine Cut free?
For those who currently own the base game of “Slay the Princess” on Steam, there’s a refreshing enhancement titled “The Pristine Cut” coming their way, absolutely free of charge. This upgrade introduces several new features to your existing gameplay experience.
- Thousands of new voice lines, over a thousand new illustrations, and 17 tracks of brand new music, which expands the game by roughly 35%
- Significantly expands three characters (The Fury, the Den, and the Apotheosis), tripling their base game content
- Three completely new characters
- An entirely new ending
- An interactive gallery to help the player track their progress in over 420 unlockable scenes (Note that the gallery does not retroactively collect scenes from earlier versions of the game)
- Subtitle support for: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, German, Polish, French, Russian, and Italian
The action-adventure game ‘Slay the Princess’ is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. The PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch versions will be offered as physical copies as well, with a special Collector’s Edition. This limited edition includes:
- A Collector’s Edition box

Moreover, I’ve got my hands on a vinyl disc that offers the enchanting, live orchestral renditions of the game’s soundtracks, making it a part of my personal collection.
As a gamer based in the UK or EU, I’ve found that Lost in Cult is the go-to distributor for my game needs. On the other hand, if you’re from North America like me, Serenity Forge has got you covered!
