Neat. I wish we could hold the blade the other way more often than just when Contrarian brings it up.
Accuse us of what? Getting people on Ganker to vote in a Ganker tournament? They can fuck off, they're pissy homosexuals who are objectively in the wrong. If they don't like it they can make a Deltarune thread and ask people to vote for Queen.
Queen feels like more of a meme than a waifu. I'd expect the cat tamer enemy to do better than her honestly, so just just depends on how many underfags are around.

the writing is so cringe and pandering
its insane how can you people like this reddit-safe tier homosexualry
no wonder new games are made to babies and little wimp homosexuals that can't even do twenty push ups
i will keep making my own content and finishing all the good old games that required actual brain power and challenged you
So why did you play StP? Did you get here from playing the demo or did you hear about it somewhere after it released? I can't be the only one that played after watching a vtuber play for a bit, right?
Saw a few pictures about it, bought it, didn't spoil myself, beat my first run in one go. And I told narrator I was gonna piss on his dream and elope with my true love as he died cause he was a homosexual
I was peripherally aware of it thanks to Ganker, so I checked it out when I saw it got released on Steam because I thought it had already released. Trailers describing the premise and the artwork being pretty+slightly unsettling interested me enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. Not sure if I'd call it the best VN I've ever played -- it's in that tier where it's great enough that how strongly it impacts you depends on where you are in life more than the game itself -- but it's definitely one of the most reactive.
I kept seeing threads about her but I just ignored them until two days after the game release when I saw this image of the adversary as OP and my neuron was activated.
paid attention when manly posted 2 vids and was preping to post a third,
curious what kind of game would get so much attention,
watched for an hour~, only to realise it seemed like my kinda game and bought it to play thru myself
I've stumbled on a thread about it here last December by complete chance. That's it. It was a complete coincidence I learned about it from the first demo and not just now.
Watched Manly play the demo, felt great attraction when I saw the Prisoner, and kept it at the back of my mind for its release. When he posted it again, I knew it had come out.
Why as a whole? I always applaud "games" where your choices did reflect your actions, especially when they get really detailed about it. StP seemed to be that kind of game, despite the true story's subversion, but there was still some part of it that did change the details towards the game's few endings, and I thought that was dedicated of the devs to do have such specific details changes, and even to have it voice acted.
I find a lot of game's writing to be allergic to pointless differences when it doesn't contribute to a story's overall presentation, but here, you find variations where you might not expect it from other games, and it makes it FEEL like a consequence of your choices. There's so many branching paths, and sometimes a chapter has multiple ways to reach the resolution of that chapter, I find it impressive. Only some, sadly, but still more than other games for its breadth over length approach to the story.
Like others, Manly's recent videos on it got me interested. Watched two of them (all that was out at the time) and was too impatient to wait for the rest of his playthrough to see where the fuck this story was going, so I got it myself. Was also tired of the censorship in his videos (not his fault, apparently YT was hitting a lot of people who played the game for the bloodier bits) and wanted to see what was happening. I like the game's art and wanted to appreciate every bit of it. May have been spoiled on a good bit, but there was more than enough that I hadn't seen that I don't feel TOO bad about it. >why?
Funny writing, passable-to-quite-good voice acting and cute princesses had me acting unwise. Plus I love choose-your-own adventure stuff, especially if it doesn't just constantly end in "you die, game over, try again." 95% of choices in StP seeming to lead to at least some new dialogue, if not an entirely different route, was a big draw for me. If only Fury wasn't such a let down.
She's already starting to look more like thorn here
I wonder if Thorn kept the tail. She still has the little elven ears, and is otherwise clearly still the Witch if you choose to be a cock to her. Could just never have the tail perked up into view... >Thorn's tail finally rises from beneath her dress after leaving the cabin, wagging enthusiastically
I skimmed the first minute of manly playing the demo a week before release. Took it for some kind of meta/deconstructionist thing. That the twist was going to be that the princess actually is just a normal princess; and that the end of the world that the narrator is referring to is actually just the end of the story. That if the hero frees the princess, they live together happily ever after and the story ends. Thus "ending" the universe as you and the narrator conceptualize it.
I thought the themes were going to be "how we engage with stories" (aka, why do we trust the narrator as the supreme authority in storytelling, what does it even mean for a story to "end")
"The cycle of violence" with there being multiple bad endings (you leave the princess in the cabin, she traps you in the cabin with her/in her place, she refuses to leave the cabin, you free her and she runs from you, she kills you/you kill her) and one good ending (you free her and the two of you leave the cabin together)
and "moving on" (you and the princess need to learn to trust each other if you both want your happy endings, and the narrator need to accept that nothing lasts forever and trying to drag things out because "endings are scary" just makes everything worse)
I heard him mention that he was playing a demo, and realizing that I also own a computer, I could probably extract more enjoyment from just playing the demo myself rather than watching him play it.
I figured it was going to be a kind of heady/cerebral experience that I could beat in like an hour and a half, and that the difference between the demo and the full game was just going to be the amount of routes/endings.
So I downloaded the demo and realized that the first thing I wanted to do was double subvert the story. That if the story's going to try to teach me that I should make amends with my enemies and gain a better understanding of those around me, what I just don't? So the first thing I did was take the narrator at face value and kill the princess without ever talking to her. I figured my ending was either going to be the worst possible, hilariously anticlimactic, or hilariously hollow.
So I try to leave the cabin only to realize that nothing else besides the cabin exists anymore, and I pat myself on the back for subverting the fuck out of that story.
The hero points out that this ending is boring as shit and I agree with him, he tells me I can get out of this cabin by killing myself, and since I'm curious where he's going with this, I go along with his plan.
Now I'm back on a path in the woods
...are we getting a do-over?
No, the dialogue options have changed to reference the old loop
A new schizo voice has joined the conversation
Is that supposed to be me? Cool! he seems like kind of an asshole though.
I'm not sure where the story's going to try and take us from here though.
We go through the cabin same as normal, I've already decided there's no point in killing her twice, if I even have the option to kill her twice.
And in the basement I find a skeleton.
cool.....
And a ghost
Oh!
OH!
Ohhhhhhhhh!
I thought the game predicted me subverting it. and subverted me subverting it.
Then I played through again and got the prisoner, and played through another time and got the stranger.
And I was sold.

You anons terminal waifufags? Or has Ganker passed Gankermblr in the level of tween girl gayness?
There really isn't much to say, and what is worth talking about is pretentious prevarication. There is no mystery or tension past your first run. You don't actually need to let the Princess leave to finish the route. You aren't even obligated to go through all the routes to get the true end. A bunch of cowardly moves to appeal to ironic weeb audience.
Voices in your head have strong character, but the stop-and-start nature of different runs means there's little time to play arouns. >inb4 now i'm mad, how could this be happenning to me?
Surely you don't want to end up generals, like DDLC or Katawa Shojo? I don't believe much discussion can be garnered when it's so easy to see through the seams of the design.
Yeah that's the issue. There isn't even an attempt to hide the man behind the curtain. There is a clear distinction between (you), the player, the one in control, and the voices in your head.
I think calling that kind of writing "insincere" is unfair, but it is definitely all too enamored with its concept, preferring to toy with the rules and not actually establishing them.
Imagine reading a base rulebook for a tabletop, but all it provides is 2 pages for stats, badic bitch rule 0 "feel free to break the rules just have fun" reminder, and a hundred pages of fluff about the setting. It's no fun breaking the rules if there are no rules to begin with.
All while the brief glimpses into characters are probably the best writing this game has to offer, utterly unrelated to metaphysical whatever-the-fuck creepypasta creatures.
Rank the Princesses, not by how much you like them as waifus but for how entertaining their route was to read. For me, it's >Witch >Spectre >Razor >Adversary >Nightmare >Damsel >Stranger >Prisoner >Tower >Beast
>I think we can win this year
lol >We just gotta make good OC
lmao, even.
There's no way, even if we somehow beat Queen, the next round would be either Mado or Shantae. They're just too popular
>pseudoregalia
Never heard of it, so I can't really say, but this is rather good but kinda short Thank god it seems the devs seem to be a bit more confident that they are going to add a bit.

Unironically, are there any games at all like this?
I always pictured (You) as a bird-man hybrid like how Witch was a catgirl.
It's kinda how I pictured it. You definitely have a humanoid like face in the mirror, at least the way it's shaped, so I never really thought of the (you) as a pure crow creature.

>Your true love will disappear into thin air and you will be happy.
It's a shame that Hunted and Paranoid don't share any routes outside of the Razor clusterfuck. Those two could keep birdboy alive through a fucking hurricane.
paranoid is a bit of a double edged blade considering he can unintentionally make things worse just by saying/thinking things. But I still like him and he tries his best

as long as it makes you happy
>no interests of her own, no real opinions
no, you get it wrong, your interests are her interests. She completely trusts you in your decisions making. She loves you, and she will make you the happiest man alive and make sure you know that.
basically tradwife type. It is not realistic, but we all want a person like that in our lives.
There's a few voice files that are never used, some of which were probably never intended to be used and were just included as easter eggs for people that go digging through the files (their names don't follow the standard naming convention)
Cool.
Despite everything I really am glad that the devs are actually pretty damn active in their community, it actually gives me hope for any future content not just in StP but also any future games they make.
I think JJK is just popular and StP is currently spreading further than even the devs thought it would. So it's just an intersection of two current popular things.
JJK is the new hotness now that israelitegeki is dead and buried. We're in an StP thread.

It's Discord and their last game looks disgustingly woke, so I am not surprised.
Well I've been following Black Tabby since Scarlet Hollow E1 (I'm big into CYOAs and -good- Western VNs), and I think that both it and they are cool. Yeah, they can get a bit SJWy on occasion, but they know how to tell a good story and have a fun horror artstyle.
>DDLC tricked people into reading a horror story via a romance mask. >StP tricked people into reading a romance story via a horror mask.
Funny how that works out.
It's weird, because I didn't fall as hard for Monika as I did the princess, and I think it's because the last scene you have with her.
It's kinda too obvious that the dev was using her as a mouth piece at that point and it turned me off. Plus Sayori is better.
Because she loves you, just like all the rest, but won't admit it even to herself because that would make you something like an equal. So she wants you in a position where you worship her instead -- there's a clear pecking order in that relationship while still getting your love and devotion.

Shifting mound is worst fucking girl for this shit
Is this just a FOTM shit game or its legit good? I like visual novels as a reference so I don't mind the genre, but the art seems kinda whack from the screenshots. Like some low effort shit, but you guys shill it too much so maybe it's legit?
>Eldritch.
See. NTA but I love VNs, eldritch, and psycho bitches.
But i wasn't a fan of the last VN with these tags. (Sucker for lover) is this better story?
NTA but…
A best to go in blind story, a horror story that ends up being a genuine love story. The path you choose sort of deal with some save scumming or backtracking that will happen but overall a really nice story
The art is something you kind of settle into. The unfinished looking nature of it works better with the line boil effect they use in-game, along with a parallax effect to give a bit of a sense of depth. It ends up feeling like a living sketch that's freshly popped out of a book, and some scenes take advantage of the parallaxing for pretty neat visuals.
It's definitely a particular aesthetic though, and ultimately it may not be everyone's taste. I find it quite charming myself. More charming than the artist's other work, at least. Feels like anything she tries to clean up with lineart and color seems to suffer for it.
>Black Tabby make a pandering FOTM game deliberately calculated to have wide appeal to drum up cash for their woke tumblrcore VN >It's still great and an obvious labour of love
I can't even be mad.
I like to imagine that I'm pretty good at spotting cynically designed pandering works.
Elements of Undertale 2 feel very cynical to me.
DDLC was cynically crafted from to to bottom to explode, and it permeates every creative decision made in the game.
StP just struck me as a genuine passion project, something that in some regards was even fairly risky.
It's FOTM with nice music and very pretty, unique art. Writing is all over the place and I personally thought the routes were disappointing. Voice acting is a bit too Stanley Parable at times. I personally think The Incest Coffin is the better VN.
Its cause even her base form can fuck birdman up and twist him into a pretzel. I didn't even know until the third loop, when I first tried to slay her and she just fucking hulk hogan's my ass
I will not side with the narrator I will not side with the mould I will give up God status and walk hand in hand with the princess out of the cabin and nothing anyone says can make me pick the other endings and yes I will tell her I love her every time
That makes me wonder, by the way.
Why is she so nonchalant about mutilating herself in every possible route?
That's not perception, she's just always like that, even if you don't perceive her as threatening.
We do the same. Homeboy doesn't flinch at being digested into cat fat, pulped by. A giantess, having his jaw punched off, having his ribs turned to dust, being stabbed more times than Caesar, and all the other abuse he goes through, burning alive, slicing himself like salami.
Both the princess and birdboy are barely if ever phased by any of their horrific injuries. It's just really on display when you indulge with the Adversery and fight to the death a couple of times, which is damn near a sex scene with how much stubborn and Adversery get into it
Probably Damsel over Prisoner. The entire lead up to the cabin as well as the atmosphere inside makes it feel like hallowed ground. Like violence inside is a sin.
Probably Nightmare or Witch. The Princess is also offsettingly inhuman enough that there's no way I'd free her, but there's no way I'd actually try to kill her with no clear reason why other than "trust me bro". Which route I go on after that depends on if I lock her up and get spooked to death, or she manages to chew her arm off and slip past me while I'm looking around the place.
Opposites attract. She is change. You are stability. Chaos and order, she is life and death and you are permanence.
Also. Cause the narrator ripped part of of her and put it in you. And ripped part of you and put it in her. Your basically already elder god married because of this
>there's no end only beginnings >woman is death, man is life >goddesses' final form
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the devs are currently going through their Buddhism phase.
Do you think the long quiet and the shifting mound roleplay after the handholding ending, and by this I mean the mound pretending to be one of the princesses for the quiet to play hero or monster slayer to?
>shifty forgets which princess she is playing or breaks character cause for some reason or another. >Tower acting like damsel >Beast acting like the prisoner >or even witch acting like advesery
>shifting mound tries her best to stay in character of the princesses >Long quiet just teases her and pretends he doesn't realize she's roleplaying to try and excite him, calling her shifty and acting casual >no matter what she does to him >eventually she breaks and giggles with all their voices

Minus taxes and the store cut that's almost 1 million buckaroos.
And it's still selling. For five(?) People that's fantastic. Especially since they worked on this game really fast. Like one and a half year of dev work.
Missionary of course, she will wrap her legs around you, keep you tight, cup your face and say divine words to make you fill her chamber full of your devotion.
Wouldn't it have to be censored? I remember Muramasa was censored from its original demo because of extreme violence which was not far from what's in this game
NTA, but I think I found the LORA the anon was using for generation.
https://civitai.com/models/184472/slay-the-princess
Seems like it got the base princess' appearance down, but not the artstyle.
I liked the princess' VA. It's just that the recording quality is poor at times. Which is kind of inexcusable for a game that's literally just images, text and voice acting.
I honestly feel like nationality might take a part in which voice you liked best. I'm a Brit and I wasn't too impressed with the male voice actor but thought the female was just fine, but I suspect that might just be because I'm less used to her accent and more used to his.

i will keep making my own content and finishing all the good old games that required actual brain power and challenged you
i am vastly superior to you all
That's great, tower.

I hope we get to see more of old stranger in the artbook.
So why did you play StP? Did you get here from playing the demo or did you hear about it somewhere after it released?
I can't be the only one that played after watching a vtuber play for a bit, right?
The thumbnail from these threads.
Demo. Don't remember how I found out about it.
Saw a few pictures about it, bought it, didn't spoil myself, beat my first run in one go. And I told narrator I was gonna piss on his dream and elope with my true love as he died cause he was a homosexual
I was peripherally aware of it thanks to Ganker, so I checked it out when I saw it got released on Steam because I thought it had already released. Trailers describing the premise and the artwork being pretty+slightly unsettling interested me enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. Not sure if I'd call it the best VN I've ever played -- it's in that tier where it's great enough that how strongly it impacts you depends on where you are in life more than the game itself -- but it's definitely one of the most reactive.
Me too.
Saw a thread for it about not long after the first demo released and have been following it ever since.
an ork roleplayer account I for some unfathomable reason decided to follow wrote a shitpost about it, back when the first demo released
That's fucking hilarious and I think the most unique way I've heard in this thread.
I kept seeing threads about her but I just ignored them until two days after the game release when I saw this image of the adversary as OP and my neuron was activated.
paid attention when manly posted 2 vids and was preping to post a third,
curious what kind of game would get so much attention,
watched for an hour~, only to realise it seemed like my kinda game and bought it to play thru myself
I've stumbled on a thread about it here last December by complete chance. That's it. It was a complete coincidence I learned about it from the first demo and not just now.
I was hooked as soon as I saw her long ago
Watched Manly play the demo, felt great attraction when I saw the Prisoner, and kept it at the back of my mind for its release. When he posted it again, I knew it had come out.
Why as a whole? I always applaud "games" where your choices did reflect your actions, especially when they get really detailed about it. StP seemed to be that kind of game, despite the true story's subversion, but there was still some part of it that did change the details towards the game's few endings, and I thought that was dedicated of the devs to do have such specific details changes, and even to have it voice acted.
I find a lot of game's writing to be allergic to pointless differences when it doesn't contribute to a story's overall presentation, but here, you find variations where you might not expect it from other games, and it makes it FEEL like a consequence of your choices. There's so many branching paths, and sometimes a chapter has multiple ways to reach the resolution of that chapter, I find it impressive. Only some, sadly, but still more than other games for its breadth over length approach to the story.
Like others, Manly's recent videos on it got me interested. Watched two of them (all that was out at the time) and was too impatient to wait for the rest of his playthrough to see where the fuck this story was going, so I got it myself. Was also tired of the censorship in his videos (not his fault, apparently YT was hitting a lot of people who played the game for the bloodier bits) and wanted to see what was happening. I like the game's art and wanted to appreciate every bit of it. May have been spoiled on a good bit, but there was more than enough that I hadn't seen that I don't feel TOO bad about it.
>why?
Funny writing, passable-to-quite-good voice acting and cute princesses had me acting unwise. Plus I love choose-your-own adventure stuff, especially if it doesn't just constantly end in "you die, game over, try again." 95% of choices in StP seeming to lead to at least some new dialogue, if not an entirely different route, was a big draw for me.
If only Fury wasn't such a let down.
I wonder if Thorn kept the tail. She still has the little elven ears, and is otherwise clearly still the Witch if you choose to be a cock to her. Could just never have the tail perked up into view...
>Thorn's tail finally rises from beneath her dress after leaving the cabin, wagging enthusiastically
I skimmed the first minute of manly playing the demo a week before release. Took it for some kind of meta/deconstructionist thing. That the twist was going to be that the princess actually is just a normal princess; and that the end of the world that the narrator is referring to is actually just the end of the story. That if the hero frees the princess, they live together happily ever after and the story ends. Thus "ending" the universe as you and the narrator conceptualize it.
I thought the themes were going to be "how we engage with stories" (aka, why do we trust the narrator as the supreme authority in storytelling, what does it even mean for a story to "end")
"The cycle of violence" with there being multiple bad endings (you leave the princess in the cabin, she traps you in the cabin with her/in her place, she refuses to leave the cabin, you free her and she runs from you, she kills you/you kill her) and one good ending (you free her and the two of you leave the cabin together)
and "moving on" (you and the princess need to learn to trust each other if you both want your happy endings, and the narrator need to accept that nothing lasts forever and trying to drag things out because "endings are scary" just makes everything worse)
I heard him mention that he was playing a demo, and realizing that I also own a computer, I could probably extract more enjoyment from just playing the demo myself rather than watching him play it.
I figured it was going to be a kind of heady/cerebral experience that I could beat in like an hour and a half, and that the difference between the demo and the full game was just going to be the amount of routes/endings.
So I downloaded the demo and realized that the first thing I wanted to do was double subvert the story. That if the story's going to try to teach me that I should make amends with my enemies and gain a better understanding of those around me, what I just don't? So the first thing I did was take the narrator at face value and kill the princess without ever talking to her. I figured my ending was either going to be the worst possible, hilariously anticlimactic, or hilariously hollow.
So I try to leave the cabin only to realize that nothing else besides the cabin exists anymore, and I pat myself on the back for subverting the fuck out of that story.
The hero points out that this ending is boring as shit and I agree with him, he tells me I can get out of this cabin by killing myself, and since I'm curious where he's going with this, I go along with his plan.
Now I'm back on a path in the woods
...are we getting a do-over?
No, the dialogue options have changed to reference the old loop
A new schizo voice has joined the conversation
Is that supposed to be me? Cool! he seems like kind of an asshole though.
I'm not sure where the story's going to try and take us from here though.
We go through the cabin same as normal, I've already decided there's no point in killing her twice, if I even have the option to kill her twice.
And in the basement I find a skeleton.
cool.....
And a ghost
Oh!
OH!
Ohhhhhhhhh!
I thought the game predicted me subverting it. and subverted me subverting it.
Then I played through again and got the prisoner, and played through another time and got the stranger.
And I was sold.
I didn't want to get spoiled by Fauna so I had to play it before that could happen
I watched Fauna's stream for an hour and was so frustrated by her choices that I played it for myself.
At least she got the best ending. As expected for one of the few Chuubas I liked before I left the whole thing entirely.
She has taste so I can't be mad about it
I read in first thread here the game is schizo kino and I was not let down yet by Ganker's recommendation of schizo games.

Hot. Please draw her with a horsepussy.
So if I imagine the Princess to be a horse, she'll be a horse?
And if you imagine her to have a horsecock...

You'd have to perceive her as a horse. It's not something you can easily do consciously.
Of course she's a horse. What else could she be?

You anons terminal waifufags? Or has Ganker passed Gankermblr in the level of tween girl gayness?
There really isn't much to say, and what is worth talking about is pretentious prevarication. There is no mystery or tension past your first run. You don't actually need to let the Princess leave to finish the route. You aren't even obligated to go through all the routes to get the true end. A bunch of cowardly moves to appeal to ironic weeb audience.
Voices in your head have strong character, but the stop-and-start nature of different runs means there's little time to play arouns.
>inb4 now i'm mad, how could this be happenning to me?
Surely you don't want to end up generals, like DDLC or Katawa Shojo? I don't believe much discussion can be garnered when it's so easy to see through the seams of the design.
Good try, Narrator. Metaposting will never get me to kill her.
Yeah that's the issue. There isn't even an attempt to hide the man behind the curtain. There is a clear distinction between (you), the player, the one in control, and the voices in your head.
I think calling that kind of writing "insincere" is unfair, but it is definitely all too enamored with its concept, preferring to toy with the rules and not actually establishing them.
Imagine reading a base rulebook for a tabletop, but all it provides is 2 pages for stats, badic bitch rule 0 "feel free to break the rules just have fun" reminder, and a hundred pages of fluff about the setting. It's no fun breaking the rules if there are no rules to begin with.
All while the brief glimpses into characters are probably the best writing this game has to offer, utterly unrelated to metaphysical whatever-the-fuck creepypasta creatures.

Alright based on how well she got in terms of votes for the qualifications I think we can win this year

>We just gotta make good OC
lmao, even.
There's no way, even if we somehow beat Queen, the next round would be either Mado or Shantae. They're just too popular
She gets like 15 votes for every one they get, so it's a shoe-in.
is this actually good or is it spammed like pseudoregalia was
>is this actually good
Yes, but I'm a sucker for eldritch waifu simulators.
>pseudoregalia
Never heard of it, so I can't really say, but this is rather good but kinda short
Thank god it seems the devs seem to be a bit more confident that they are going to add a bit.
it's a short cute VN, Sybil's game actually has gameplay though so you're going to hate this bookgame
It's fun. It stands on it's own.

Unironically, are there any games at all like this?
There are, on DLsite.
Name some, please.
Sorry but they're all in Japanese.
Of course you fucking homosexual
I always pictured (You) as a bird-man hybrid like how Witch was a catgirl.
every princess or no buy
e-even Beast?
Why not?
ESPECIALLY BEAST
I hate the hands so much.
It's kinda how I pictured it. You definitely have a humanoid like face in the mirror, at least the way it's shaped, so I never really thought of the (you) as a pure crow creature.
Birdman pulling a spiderman
>Your true love will disappear into thin air and you will be happy.
What snacks do princesses eat?
I like the voice of the Hunted. He's very practical.
It's a shame that Hunted and Paranoid don't share any routes outside of the Razor clusterfuck. Those two could keep birdboy alive through a fucking hurricane.
paranoid is a bit of a double edged blade considering he can unintentionally make things worse just by saying/thinking things. But I still like him and he tries his best
If StP got a Japanese translation, would the nips even like it?
Of course they would. This is a perfect game for the Japanese
Damsel exists so of course they'd like her
Witch*
The funny thing being Damsel is actually the worst princess if you think about it
>no interests of her own
>no real opinions of her own
>just goes with everything you want to do
In a way, it'd be no different than being alone
Wrong because she can give me a hug and I haven't been hugged in what feels like decades.
Unironically Damsel being taken by the hands is the best thing for her development.
So, the perfect tradwife that Ganker is infamous for idolizing? C'mon bro
>>no interest of her own
her interest is making you happy
>>no real opinions of her own
her opinion is making you happy
>>just goes with everything you want to do
as long as it makes you happy
So if my interest is having someone's who's funny and easy to talk to, she becomes that?
good thing your power can literally do that. now i was thinking of a "the comedian" route.
>no interests of her own, no real opinions
no, you get it wrong, your interests are her interests. She completely trusts you in your decisions making. She loves you, and she will make you the happiest man alive and make sure you know that.
basically tradwife type. It is not realistic, but we all want a person like that in our lives.
That's why I said Damsel, Japs love those one dimensional waifus
I need a nendroid with different face plates for every single princess.
Perfect game for nippons tbh
Short, sweet, slight horror element.

It's an unused voice file, probably put in for miners
There's a few voice files that are never used, some of which were probably never intended to be used and were just included as easter eggs for people that go digging through the files (their names don't follow the standard naming convention)
Is this cool or is this cringe? What do anons think?
great now we can pester them to make cabin escape endings for the rest of the princesses besides the original and stranger
cringe until I get upskirts shots of every princess
It's just gonna be a retrospective with supbar, unrefined line reading and some QnA, so it's probably leaning on the lame side.
Cool.
Despite everything I really am glad that the devs are actually pretty damn active in their community, it actually gives me hope for any future content not just in StP but also any future games they make.
>Gojofag having more vain, unwarranted hope
you never learn
Gojo IS coming back. He WILL be revived and fight with Yuji in the final battle
The princes and damsel routes WILL be expanded and we will get more StP.
You have no idea how much I can delude myself into hope anon. I'll keep doing it until it comes true.
There has been the Gojoposter and the Todoposter what is up with JJK and StP?
Is there some hidden overlap that I don't know about?
I think JJK is just popular and StP is currently spreading further than even the devs thought it would. So it's just an intersection of two current popular things.
JJK is the new hotness now that israelitegeki is dead and buried. We're in an StP thread.
I don't blame him for coping. I want to see my wife Thorn again.
The devs have been doing an odd dance between "We aren't gonna add anything new." and "But mmaaayyyybbbeeee..." that I find kinda funny and frustrating.
Like holy shit they really didn't plan for this and now they are just wondering what the fuck to do next.
Merch would be fun, but realistically the most we'd see are an art book and acrylic keychains.

Brother in what way would tall lady with grey skin be more impractical than the bitch with three heads? Are you expecting them to make her to scale?
>Are you expecting them to make her to scale?
What's the point otherwise?
I doubt protag, that'd mean they'd have to make a canon appearance for (you)
Good. Id rather they exploit the flash in the pan THEN move on to SH if theyre absolutely dead set on it.
Is their StPbdiscord a fun place?
>discord
I think the only thing they are deadset on is releasing an episode next year, and then left it open what they'll do after that.
It's sterilized and full of they/thems and tranny lesbians, so basically like 99% of discord servers.
I've had some half-decent lore conversation but most people are psychotic.
>Sterilized
I'm shocked you had any lore discussion. Most of those places are anti lore discussion and just for cat posting and game "memes".
I was desperate for more StP-related ANYTHING to fill the void and Ganker threads move really slowly at some hours, so take my vague recommendations more than one pinch of salt.
Fucking gross, ill stick with you bros then.
It's Discord and their last game looks disgustingly woke, so I am not surprised.
yes, yes, and he's going to impregnate Utahime with a football team of his Gojospawn, we know.
Wow, the Narrator and voices VA looks EXACTLY like I pictured him.
Anyone got the picture of the princess VA and her absolutely crazy eyes?
Well I've been following Black Tabby since Scarlet Hollow E1 (I'm big into CYOAs and -good- Western VNs), and I think that both it and they are cool. Yeah, they can get a bit SJWy on occasion, but they know how to tell a good story and have a fun horror artstyle.
>The narrator
Goddamn that art is fucking ugly. No way this is the same artist as the one who drew the princess, right?
Why am I a lizard man?!
*bird man
Seriously? My hand looked lizard-y. THE QUESTION NOW IS WHY AM I A BIRD?!
Because you're a bird brain.
t. Narrator
You’re a bird
There are so many variations to Chapter 1 that all lead to the same 3 routes. There is definitely room for inserting another if they wanted
So wait. Am I the schizo? Is the princess the schizo? IS ANYONE NOT A SCHIZO?!
Play the game and you'll find out. You're not a schizo, you're just on a whole other level that normal people can't even compare to. And so is she.

Funny how that works out.
It's weird, because I didn't fall as hard for Monika as I did the princess, and I think it's because the last scene you have with her.
It's kinda too obvious that the dev was using her as a mouth piece at that point and it turned me off. Plus Sayori is better.

The cognitive dissonance I feel between wanting to be her good boy and wanting to rape correct this uppity narcissist is too powerful.
Literally me
why is she so adamant on me being her disciple?
Because she loves you, just like all the rest, but won't admit it even to herself because that would make you something like an equal. So she wants you in a position where you worship her instead -- there's a clear pecking order in that relationship while still getting your love and devotion.

Is this just a FOTM shit game or its legit good? I like visual novels as a reference so I don't mind the genre, but the art seems kinda whack from the screenshots. Like some low effort shit, but you guys shill it too much so maybe it's legit?
Pirate it and try it anon.
do you want an eldritch shape-shifting woman who would actually just fucking kill you?
If so, you've come to the right place.
This is a love story. Ignore the Narrator.
>Eldritch.
See. NTA but I love VNs, eldritch, and psycho bitches.
But i wasn't a fan of the last VN with these tags. (Sucker for lover) is this better story?
NTA but…
A best to go in blind story, a horror story that ends up being a genuine love story. The path you choose sort of deal with some save scumming or backtracking that will happen but overall a really nice story
The art is something you kind of settle into. The unfinished looking nature of it works better with the line boil effect they use in-game, along with a parallax effect to give a bit of a sense of depth. It ends up feeling like a living sketch that's freshly popped out of a book, and some scenes take advantage of the parallaxing for pretty neat visuals.
It's definitely a particular aesthetic though, and ultimately it may not be everyone's taste. I find it quite charming myself. More charming than the artist's other work, at least. Feels like anything she tries to clean up with lineart and color seems to suffer for it.
>Is this just a FOTM shit game or its legit good?
Both, funnily enough.
>Black Tabby make a pandering FOTM game deliberately calculated to have wide appeal to drum up cash for their woke tumblrcore VN
>It's still great and an obvious labour of love
I can't even be mad.
I like to imagine that I'm pretty good at spotting cynically designed pandering works.
Elements of Undertale 2 feel very cynical to me.
DDLC was cynically crafted from to to bottom to explode, and it permeates every creative decision made in the game.
StP just struck me as a genuine passion project, something that in some regards was even fairly risky.
>pretty girls pull people in
Damn, if only all Western devs knew of this arcane wisdom.
It's FOTM with nice music and very pretty, unique art. Writing is all over the place and I personally thought the routes were disappointing. Voice acting is a bit too Stanley Parable at times. I personally think The Incest Coffin is the better VN.
It's a good read if you enjoy horror and romance.
Does the princess with many hands have a name like all the others?
Damn when the grass growing stock footage with the kaleidoscope filter on it started appearing, I really felt that.
Reminder that that webm is 200mb
Considering the dev announced that the entire games' audio is not compressed at all, I am not surprised.

she's the one with all that ASS
She's literally all of them, anon. They're all about her.
Yes, but they're also individual aspects of her with their own personalities. I'm looking for the COMPLETE package!
bros I confess I am no femdomfag but I would honestly eat out Tower like my life depends on it
Can't say I relate, the way she was acting all superior made my stabbing impulses act up
I didn't need to hear that.
Get fury’d idiot dominatrix
>Wraith calling me "idiot"
I knew she was just tsundere for me.
Name a voice more based than hero or paranoid. Hint: you can't
Smitten.
More like simping
Best voice is the voice in my head.
I just realized Witch isn't a catgirl at all.
She's a satyr.
What brought you to that conclusion?

>bitch had the gall to threaten me when i'm the one with a knife in hand
woman moment
she's the master of cqc you better watch the fuck out
Did anybody else find the CG of the Prisoner wrapping the chains around her hands hot, or is it just me? She was fucking ready to duke it out.
it pains me too much to see her ready to beat my ass up.
I just love her too much bros
You challenge the maiden in chains, you get ready for pain
ok prisonerbros, I get it now
I fucking lost bros
give her The Look.
My name is Smitten, yo.
My waifu is the Princess, yo.
Its cause even her base form can fuck birdman up and twist him into a pretzel. I didn't even know until the third loop, when I first tried to slay her and she just fucking hulk hogan's my ass
Princess juices like a motherfucker
Your perception is her weapon.
By hesitating you give her power. Why would you hesitate from attacking an ordinary woman?
I AM THE ONE WHO SLAYS!
put yuh blade away, quiet
AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII
I will not side with the narrator
I will not side with the mould
I will give up God status and walk hand in hand with the princess out of the cabin and nothing anyone says can make me pick the other endings
and yes I will tell her I love her every time
Congratulations on condemning the universe to endless stasis!
Not my problem

But your princess is the Shifting Mound, she's just one way that she expresses herself.
Realistically, which princess would you meet if you were in birdman's place.
Either Prisoner or Nightmare. I'd bring the knife but wouldn't kill her
Probably Princess -> Prisoner my first time. I'm not enough of a bloodthirsty retard to just go for the kill.
Probably prisoner.
I think prisoner for me, forgot to mention that
probably damsel. i don't like the thought of stabbing anyone with a knife.
On my first playthrough, I got the nightmare since her chewing her arm creeped the shit outta me
That makes me wonder, by the way.
Why is she so nonchalant about mutilating herself in every possible route?
That's not perception, she's just always like that, even if you don't perceive her as threatening.
probably a holdover from the demo which was more horror oriented
We do the same. Homeboy doesn't flinch at being digested into cat fat, pulped by. A giantess, having his jaw punched off, having his ribs turned to dust, being stabbed more times than Caesar, and all the other abuse he goes through, burning alive, slicing himself like salami.
Both the princess and birdboy are barely if ever phased by any of their horrific injuries. It's just really on display when you indulge with the Adversery and fight to the death a couple of times, which is damn near a sex scene with how much stubborn and Adversery get into it
high chance Prisoner or Damsel.
Damsel, obviously. You know how fucking long it has been since I have felt female affection?
Probably Damsel over Prisoner. The entire lead up to the cabin as well as the atmosphere inside makes it feel like hallowed ground. Like violence inside is a sin.
Probably Nightmare or Witch. The Princess is also offsettingly inhuman enough that there's no way I'd free her, but there's no way I'd actually try to kill her with no clear reason why other than "trust me bro". Which route I go on after that depends on if I lock her up and get spooked to death, or she manages to chew her arm off and slip past me while I'm looking around the place.
>take beast out to femboy hooters
>she eats the fuckin femboys
I love my greedy cat wife.
>she eats the fucking hooters (me)
Before or after the femboys?
Nice joke.
What if they make a sequel where you play the princess and you have to slay the crow, who has forms based off his schizo voices
Why is the Princess always locked into only one shackle? Is the second shackle meant for us?
It is, do the Prisoner route
If we're literally built to kill her, why does she love us for absolutely no reason?
because you literally used to be the same entity
NOW NEITHER OF US WILL BE VIRGINS
but i hate myself
You guys are literal soulmates
Opposites attract. She is change. You are stability. Chaos and order, she is life and death and you are permanence.
Also. Cause the narrator ripped part of of her and put it in you. And ripped part of you and put it in her. Your basically already elder god married because of this
I thought this post started with
>Opposites attract. She is cringe
This image provoked a visceral reaction of physical pain from me. I'm so far gone.
Now imagine you're a Gankermblerite and having to see your waifu get blacked.
women moment
Because she will lie, she will cheat, and she will do everything in her power to stop you from slaying her.
isn't that a quote from stellaris

>voice of the hero left behind
nooooooooo. not my bro.
>there's no end only beginnings
>woman is death, man is life
>goddesses' final form
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the devs are currently going through their Buddhism phase.
>woman is death
She is both life and death.
I think they said that Taoism was an inspiration.
Do you think the long quiet and the shifting mound roleplay after the handholding ending, and by this I mean the mound pretending to be one of the princesses for the quiet to play hero or monster slayer to?
Writefag, please...
Show some love to Shifty...
>shifty forgets which princess she is playing or breaks character cause for some reason or another.
>Tower acting like damsel
>Beast acting like the prisoner
>or even witch acting like advesery
>Shifting Mound blushing when you call her Shifty
Cute! CUTE!
>shifting mound tries her best to stay in character of the princesses
>Long quiet just teases her and pretends he doesn't realize she's roleplaying to try and excite him, calling her shifty and acting casual
>no matter what she does to him
>eventually she breaks and giggles with all their voices
She can become anything he wants her to be. The perfect wife.
I NEED a prequel about the Narrator and how he broke the cycle and created the Construct.
With his huge fag energy
Which of the princesses would you allow into your DnD group? You're the dm
>women in a DND group
Yeah no thanks.
Not D&D, but I'll be damned if the Witch doesn't try some shit during card games.
Witch plays blue red in magic the gathering
I'm banned from DnD. I made too many heroic sacrifices for my constantly dying team as a squishy rouge. And got called a spotlight hog. Plus I can't DM.
>70k sales so far
>https://newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/slay-the-princess-how-did-this-horror
Opportunistbros... we fucking won.
bretty good for a renpy horror game vn
Deserved tbh.
Hope they breakthrough the 100k mark once foreign localization rolls out.
>foreign localization
Are there plans for it?
not that I know so far. Current patch note said they would focus on bug fixing and general optimization. It is up in the air.
If there wasn't, there probably will be soon enough.
>>70k sales so far
uhhh that sounds like shit tho?
how much did they pay the vas?
This is a visual novel, not a video game. Those are really good numbers for the medium
Dont speak, idiot, it makes you sound stupid.
>70k
>shit number
actually quite fine to be frank. Considering it's only 5 peoples, VAs included, worked on it.
Probably paid alot for the VAs and sound teams tbh. I'd say something about 20-40k for all of them.
70k x 20 dollars.
Minus taxes and the store cut that's almost 1 million buckaroos.
And it's still selling. For five(?) People that's fantastic. Especially since they worked on this game really fast. Like one and a half year of dev work.
Hope the money goes towards some better microphones for the VAs.
I don't remember the narrator's microphone being that bad.
The narrator's was fine. Princess was iffy and would break my immersion at times.
So is there any way to "collect" all the princesses before the final route triggers?
No, only 5 at a time.
Shit,i assumed the "reset" she offers means going back to collect the missing fragments
Bro...
Spoil me
What would sex with her be like?
Living dildo
Missionary of course, she will wrap her legs around you, keep you tight, cup your face and say divine words to make you fill her chamber full of your devotion.
Protag with voice of the cold personality and the prisoner goes out together. How will it go?
They wait at the table until the restraint crumbles around them and nature reclaims it
>no shifting mound asmr to lull me to sleep
AAHHHH
>no tower edging audio
>disable music
>record voice
>slap on ai voice site
???
I'm not that heavy into AI voices. Where can I do that, anon?
I forgot the name but if it hasnt been nuked then there is a site you can upload voice clips and an ai narrates using that voice
Hence the shiton of dagoth ur meme videos
Would this game be improved or enshittened if it had stat checks and rng with its choices?
probably fine? this game is pretty much craft your narrative so it won't quite matter
Stat checks would imply a much wider scale than the current game has.
I don't think that would fit what the game is going for.
Would be much improved if it had scrolling text. You know, like literally any other VN has.
Holy shit there are already 33 fanfics of this game on AO3.
Tower picking up beast and treating her like a housecat
They need to release this shit in Japan. It would cause a huge spike in fanart and porn
The monkey paw curls.
The Japanese exclusively focus on sexualising the Narrator in a relationship with Broken.
They would need to localize it first.
Wouldn't it have to be censored? I remember Muramasa was censored from its original demo because of extreme violence which was not far from what's in this game
Muramasa was released on a console for babbies.
Muramasa released on the Switch? I don't believe you
I'm talking about this https://vndb.org/v2016
I thought you were talking about a different game, I don't know anything about this.
>doesn't know about THE untranslated VN that /jp/ gloated over for more than a decade
I'm old
Yes if it's released on the Switch, which will elude the horror elements.
I hope it doesn't get fucking cramped down just because Nintendon't wanna appeal to normies.
That's a monkey paw, anon. Both in fandom and porndom. They're going to do some weird stuff like scat or guro.
>it's all vore, except for beast who gets nothing but vanilla art
Do we have the dick of a duck?
Yes. Why do you think the princess likes you so much?
Where is ai anon? He posted some princesses in another thread.
бpaтaн чтo зa хepня
NTA, but I think I found the LORA the anon was using for generation.
https://civitai.com/models/184472/slay-the-princess
Seems like it got the base princess' appearance down, but not the artstyle.
>The charges, officer?
She looks shocked that kissing birdboys is illegal
Thank you anon
some of you fuckers are really out here being martin scorsese for voice acting
the princess's VA was good, i liked it
It's okay. Decent enough at times and actually cute some of the time.
But it's completely MOGGED by the narrator who can ham it up across so many personalities.
It's Stanley Parable in different flavors.
I liked the princess' VA. It's just that the recording quality is poor at times. Which is kind of inexcusable for a game that's literally just images, text and voice acting.
She was good, but there were clearly some parts she was suited better than the others.
The Narrator/voices killed it consistently, though.
Same
It's acceptable, but I do think the sound design on her voices could be better since she has an actual presence in the environment
I honestly feel like nationality might take a part in which voice you liked best. I'm a Brit and I wasn't too impressed with the male voice actor but thought the female was just fine, but I suspect that might just be because I'm less used to her accent and more used to his.
Ah fuck. Bump limit. QUICK ABANDON SHIP AND MAKE A NEW ONE.
I wanna toss broken. Into the fuckin son
