I played this with my partner and OMFG i LOVED it we both love it and my favorite path is when you both hurt eachother but then reconcile and cut eachother free from the thorns and kiss and end up happy together
OH you didnt get my favorite ending omg u have to get it its basically where u lie and kill her then you say sorry when u come back 2nd time explain and say ur gonna free her then shes like why did u let me this time? then u guys reconcile in the 3rd one and its so pretty the way she looks in a thorn bed of roses
Something I realized is that you aren’t just the one looking for and picking up the pieces of the Princess, but looking for and picking up the pieces of yourself. The voices of the smitten, the paranoid, the cold, are all pieces of you. Not only that, but the princess reacts differently to your actions, revealing different voices and therefore pieces of yourself. To put it simpler(ish?) the both of you are finding yourselves and each other, and once the both of you are whole, you’re ready to start this relationship. I think that’s what makes it a love story, and a sweet one at that ;v;🤍
Consumption and betrayal. The Beast and the Witch. The Hunted and the Opportunist. Skepticism and blind devotion. The Prisoner and the Damsel. The Skeptic and the Smitten. Rivalry and submission. The Adversary and the Tower. The Stubborn and the Broken. Terror and longing. The Nightmare and the Spectre. The Paranoid and the Cold. Pain and unfamiliarity. The Razor and the Stranger. The Cheated and the Contrarian. And at the center of it all, an emotion that can only be described as... Love.
"She's a tree now, get over it" is probably my favorite live comment on anything ever. Also, I absolutely love this game now. Even though Princess got that webtoon art style face, ngl, those eyes are gigantic, holy cow
Funny story, my favorite route in the game is if you slay the Damsel then yourself. Voice of the Cold is amazing when Voice of the Smitten is the foil to him.
Best thing of this path is, the third chapter it unlocks is an even better love story. Because leaving the cabin together with The Damsel is love at first sight, while leaving with The Thorn is learning to love again after a terrible betrayal. Or learning how to open yourself, to trust, after covering yourself with thorns, too fearful of being hurt again but trying anyway.
@@Katwind Uh… the Thorn is the third chapter from the Witch. Killing the Damsel gives you Burned Grey. Which.. is just decent as a love story. …if you like “Romeo and Juliet”. :/
Man, i love Jonathan Sims (the voice actor of the narrator and the other voices) he is really good at narrating spooky things. (He actually has a podcast, its called "The Magnus Archives", and its main theme is also spooky stuff)
This game made me cry so many times. If you ever do decide to come back to this game, or if anyone else watching wants more, I would highly recommend buying it. There are many more routes not seen here, and many branching paths to the routes that were seen here. It’s just a lovely game overall, and there are more endings if anyone is curious.
I listened to an audiobook of Song of Achilles a while ago. The narrator sounds like the guy who read it and now it’s driving me crazy bc I don’t know if it’s the same person or not 😭😭😭
There are several endings but i wont spoil them. I don’t know why but the best words I can think of to describe this game/visual novel are truth and philosophy. I really love it, and I’m happy to see more people playing it. I just wish that TH-cam would start recommending it more, but unfortunately the game is so gory that it’s unlikely.
this comment was a while ago, but was the route from the demo where you slayed her and then it went to like nothingness make it into the finished game? i don't remember the actual title of it, but i remember the cabin opener to void and you die to starvation or something?
I wish you'd got the stranger ending. That's the one where you just continually walk away from the cabin and you pretty much break everything. It's kind of funny, but it's also really spooky. Also this is one of my favorite horror games! I love how it reveals that you and her are primordial gods at the end. It's so cool!
also your channel aesthetic has increased in quality in such a way that it was already visibly on towards bc of your own efforts but. it's just really powerfully showing immediately in this. you genuinely bolster the narrative power of the stories you find in a really captivating manner
When I first got this game, I spent a good 10 hours playing it. It was a ton of fun, but I wouldn't recommend doing a 10 hour session without drinking or eating like me.
Unfortunately wasn't able to visit the stream when it actually went on but I appreciate the narrator having the same sort of sarcasm as Stanley Parable's narrator. Need more sarcastic voice overs fr
If took me a minute to place the voice of the narrator, but I eventually realized its Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives podcast. It's awesome he's getting voice acting outside of his podcast.
One of my first routes was The Grey(Drowned) since I slayed The Prisoner out of curiosity - the same thing happened with The Nightmare and ended up with The Wraith. (I dont remember which was first to be honest-)
I have almost successfully come to a conclusion on what type of lesbian I am when it comes to fictional women. “She is pretty much a walking red flag.” “But red is one of my favourite colours…”
This is a cool version of life and to show of how you see the world one can either love internal life or you can see the true forever loneliness of life
darn it should've completed this faster before a favorite channel got to it..... but at the same time i'm spoiler tolerant and if im gone watch anyone find the endings i haven't found yet i'm quite happy to be here :)
Ah yes, we love to see a Little Missfortune if you know what I mean... manipulative and/or evil narrator, breaking the 4th wall and some sweet confusing loopholes
He's a bird man! There's many hints to it during the game, one of the forms even calling you a bird, references to your feathers, wings and beak etc, and also when you lighten the mirror photo a bit you can see the full form of a bird like creature.
ok i came to this video through the stardew valley translated video and all i can think is how unhinged this game would be if everything was translated too many times
i translated the opening screen (0:39) and i got this "Persevere and overcome the obstacles that Dylan and Dylan see in front of you. At Satin, there are no bad decisions, no new ideas and no new ideas. This is a love story."
I'm not gonna watch this video yet incase you cover any routes or choices I haven't found/tried yet, but I just want to thank you and also anyone who makes content on this game, because it's gone SO under the radar as of now, and I only found out about it a few days ago because a streamer I watch (Phisnom) played it and I decided to try it... now I've started a schedule of doing a playthrough of the game once a day and it's already easily in my top 10 games. The fact that so few people are making content on it is sad :( It's also insane that I like this game as much as I do because I don't even like visual novels. Even with Doki Doki I just skip to "the good parts'" and haven't played it myself... if you WERE a visual novel fan, this would probably be the perfect game! Also, about the title, I wouldn't really call this a "dating sim" personally. I mean, it undoubtedly has _some_ dating sim elements, but I think they're FAR from the focus of the game. Anyways, time to add this to another chrome tab to remember to watch it later, adding yet another toll onto my computer's ram. This is going to be my first experience with your channel actually, I might check out some of your other videos if I end up liking this one, which I probably will because only BASED people play this game.
FUCK WIAT THESE AREA LL MY FAVORITE PRINCESSESA???? HELLO?? HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS EARLIER great commentary and stuff too i might check out your channel and sub after i finish watching this

Romance: Ok 👍
Existential dread: nice
Incredibly Tall Women: THAT'S MY SHIT
Incredibly Tall woman with multiple faces and everything and is also a cosmic deity and loves you:

The voice of the cheated is SO FUNNY I CANNOT HADLE IT
Hearing the Narrator's voice, Jonathan Sims, made me so indescribably happy- great content as always Nino!
i love mr johnny sims so much
I THOUGHT IT WAS HIM! I just got back from being the archivist at a con. I would recognize that sassy British tone anywhere.
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THE VOICE, thank you!! Such a good creator
Omg I heard the first words from the hero and immediately went to the comments to confirm it was jonny!! Unbelievably happy rn.
THAT’S WHERE I RECOGNISE HIM FROM?
Nino: Flirts with the princess
Princess: I like you
Nino: YES!
Princess: Still going to kill you
Nino: Dang it!
Voice of the Paranoid struggling to keep us alive as the Princess literally tortures us
Nino and the whole chat: *aggressively lip bites*
Timestamp?
Funny story, my favorite route in the game is if you slay the Damsel then yourself. Voice of the Cold is amazing when Voice of the Smitten is the foil to him.
It almost seems like having the romantic ending early in the video would be an ending to save near to last.
Best thing of this path is, the third chapter it unlocks is an even better love story. Because leaving the cabin together with The Damsel is love at first sight, while leaving with The Thorn is learning to love again after a terrible betrayal. Or learning how to open yourself, to trust, after covering yourself with thorns, too fearful of being hurt again but trying anyway.
@@Katwind
Uh… the Thorn is the third chapter from the Witch.
Killing the Damsel gives you Burned Grey. Which.. is just decent as a love story. …if you like “Romeo and Juliet”. :/
They have the best dynamic fr fr
@@ZirconiaGacha As difficult as it is to kill the Damsel, I have to agree! Wrathful Smitten and smug Cold have such an entertaining dynamic.
Jonny Sims and Nichole Goodnight out here giving the performances of a lifetime
They were actually both incredible
Man, i love Jonathan Sims (the voice actor of the narrator and the other voices) he is really good at narrating spooky things. (He actually has a podcast, its called "The Magnus Archives", and its main theme is also spooky stuff)
Fucking love TMA
@@nyxie2877 Magnus protocol just came out too, the spin off series. It’s already so good and spooky!
@@misti4492 I saw that!

There are many more routes not seen here, and many branching paths to the routes that were seen here. It’s just a lovely game overall, and there are more endings if anyone is curious.
Not to mention that there’s going to be more content coming with the Pristine Cut in 2024.
I listened to an audiobook of Song of Achilles a while ago. The narrator sounds like the guy who read it and now it’s driving me crazy bc I don’t know if it’s the same person or not 😭😭😭
Pls the Song of Achilles killed me. Im crying just thinking about it.
Hello person in need! I just checked, no its not the same person.
One that voices the Song of Achilles is named Frazer Douglas and the narrator of Slay the Princess is named Jonathan Sims.
@@UmWhoAsked Omgosh thank u so much 😭
@@marygilbert3747you welcome ':)
The razor path is batshit crazy.

knowing the difference between a dating sim vs. a romance visual novel challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
@@J3n50 it’s not even a romance visual novel, it’s a horror visual novel, which makes it even funniwt
I wish you'd got the stranger ending. That's the one where you just continually walk away from the cabin and you pretty much break everything. It's kind of funny, but it's also really spooky. Also this is one of my favorite horror games! I love how it reveals that you and her are primordial gods at the end. It's so cool!
This is one of my top favourite games of all time, I'm so glad that you playing it can hopefully get it to a larger audience
The forced suicide in this game is so raw it was listed in the content warnings _twice._
I’ve been keeping up with this game for years so glad it’s finally getting more recognition has of late 😊
Are you sure you have because the game only came out a few months ago
@@redRuxx The Demo has been out for years. Im pretty sure that what he meant
Slay the Princess is the first game I have ever given a shit about enough to fully completed, I genuinely loved my experience with it.
also your channel aesthetic has increased in quality in such a way that it was already visibly on towards bc of your own efforts but. it's just really powerfully showing immediately in this. you genuinely bolster the narrative power of the stories you find in a really captivating manner
I really enjoy this video!
Just to let you know, I think the 4th timestamp/video chapter is titled 'The Spectre', but it's of The Nightmare route
oh ty for letting me know!
Wherever I go, I can never escape the voice of Jonathan Sims lmao
When I first got this game, I spent a good 10 hours playing it. It was a ton of fun, but I wouldn't recommend doing a 10 hour session without drinking or eating like me.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" 😂 had me laughing so hard.
Unfortunately wasn't able to visit the stream when it actually went on but I appreciate the narrator having the same sort of sarcasm as Stanley Parable's narrator. Need more sarcastic voice overs fr
I appreciate the sarcasm mixed in with serious moments.
Another game that does it really well is The Corridor
If took me a minute to place the voice of the narrator, but I eventually realized its Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives podcast. It's awesome he's getting voice acting outside of his podcast.
Omg at the witch segment it kinda reminded me of life and death. She’s life (a tree) and he’s death (withered) 😭❤️
almost 2 hours long ???!! omg im so hyped
Ur pfp matches your comment
One of my first routes was The Grey(Drowned) since I slayed The Prisoner out of curiosity - the same thing happened with The Nightmare and ended up with The Wraith.
(I dont remember which was first to be honest-)
DUDE I'VE WATCHED LIKE 4 PLAY THROUGHS OF THIS AND 3/5 ENDINGS WERE COMPLETELY NEW TO ME STILL
"Yooo new voice in my head just dropped". Me.
I loved the demo of this game, i played it so often because i loved the game so much
"oh no, she got hotter" lmaooooo😂
I think this is definitely my favorite visual novel.
Appropriate reaction to the tower
GOD DAMNIT HE DIDNT GET THE ROSE PRINSCESS
In the tower if you question her but not resist and still obe but not fully. Basically halfwaying it.
It gets even better.
“Incredibly tall women”
WOOOOOO!!!!!!
I have almost successfully come to a conclusion on what type of lesbian I am when it comes to fictional women.
“She is pretty much a walking red flag.” “But red is one of my favourite colours…”
I know😭
During the tower part I was just like… “step on me mommy”
Whew! Its so long! I hope you enjoyed the game! I sure did :p
haiii nino, rlly happy u uploaded i love ur content. u rlly helped me when my mental was low n i appreciate u sm for that
Nino: I hate how much I'm blushing from this.
Me, completely fucking folded: Same, dude..
We’re all down bad and that’s ok
I told the goddess at the end that I just didn't feel like being a god, so I went back to the cabin and left with the nice princess x)
that was so good!
12:23 I’m calling it now, the narrator is the villain. This girl is forced to act like this.
you should try scarlet hollow too when it’s completed - same creators!!
This is officially my new favorite youtube video
The voice of the smitten is literally me
YAYYYY YIPPPEEEE HORRAAYYYYYY MORE PEOPLE ARE PLAYING STPPPPPP WOOOOO
That was AMAZING omg 😍
Thanks to this stream I discovered this game. Best decision of my life 10/10 would watch again
I LOVEDD THIS
This is a cool version of life and to show of how you see the world one can either love internal life or you can see the true forever loneliness of life

but at the same time i'm spoiler tolerant and if im gone watch anyone find the endings i haven't found yet i'm quite happy to be here :)
OHH MY GOD
The “hehe” from her caught me off guard, I laughed so hard 😂😂😂
Ah yes, we love to see a Little Missfortune if you know what I mean... manipulative and/or evil narrator, breaking the 4th wall and some sweet confusing loopholes
Ok, first of all, he’s not evil.
..and I’m not quite convinced that Morgo was evil, either.
@@Kayta-Linda He's more misguided if anything.
AWWW this is beautifullllll
The narrator is the unwilling wingman.
didn't even realise that was jonathan sims until things got spooky and i flashed back to tma
YANDRE HALEY?!?!
I became depressed when you didn't give the knife to the princess in the witch 😢
JONNY SIMS JONNY SIMS JONNY SIMS JONNY SIMS
When I return from school I see this? 10/10
So I just started watching this, do we find out why the hero's hand is all weird looking?
Not finished with the video either but I imagine he's an orc or some similar species
He is some kind of bird creature, you can see his feathers in the mirror
He's a bird man! There's many hints to it during the game, one of the forms even calling you a bird, references to your feathers, wings and beak etc, and also when you lighten the mirror photo a bit you can see the full form of a bird like creature.
I think we're supposed to be a humanoid crow-esque avian, wings on the back and all.
The princess and the player are godlike creatures.
There’s still more!!
Every new voice is a past death experience
ok i came to this video through the stardew valley translated video
and all i can think
is how unhinged this game would be if everything was translated too many times
i translated the opening screen (0:39) and i got this
"Persevere and overcome the obstacles that Dylan and Dylan see in front of you. At Satin, there are no bad decisions, no new ideas and no new ideas. This is a love story."

well i mean now that i think about it i prob like prisoner a bit more than tower but still! good princesses!
So much of disco oozes from this. I wouldnt be surprised if it inspired the devs.
