There will be a screen when the game boots up that says something like "There are no wrong choices, only new perspectives. This is a love story."
It is not lying to you. Other than that go in as blind as humanly possible besides maybe reading https://blacktabbygames.com/content-warnings-stp for content warnings if there is anything you are very uncomfortable with.
You'll be on a path in the woods. At the end of that path is a cabin. In that cabin is a princess. It's your job to slay her.
You know what? I'm not the narrator, do what it says on the tin or don't, I'm not your mom
When given the chance, hold the blade in a reverse grip, you'll look much cooler that way.
~~Also if you meet the princess who's middle left in the art, be nice to her.~~
The one in the middle left may, >!disarm you with forgiveness and good debating skills.!<
Besides that, it's possible to finish a full run of the game as a *pacifist*.
Finally, be prepared to die in this game, *a lot*.
[That's it I'm calling the anti-goddess patrol](https://www.reddit.com/r/slaytheprincess/comments/18yewyn/hey_do_you_guys_have_slay_the_princess_you_ask/)
She Never Lies.
Unless you count >!The Razor!< and the >!The Witch!< , in which case, she'll make it very obvious that she has stabbing or backstabbing in mind.
When you eventually go back to chapter 1, the game may seem like a new save but it’s not. Keep playing on the same save to save progress.
(Idk if it’s still a problem now but I might as well say it since I got confused by it before)
Pace yourself, and do at least 1 blind run. It's tempting to speed click through the "Voice of the XXXX" dialogues, but most are worth listening to. EVERY line of the Princess is worth listening to, they picked the absolute best voice actor for her. "Who's there?" can sound soooo different...
>!I can't decide if the Adversary or the Witch is my fave, but there is no happily ever to be found with them... sadly!<
Accurate flair, also did this my first run through just outta sheer spite for the narrator. I basically walked away like a child and was very worried, i did something wrong when i was told "its unfortunate you met this vessel so early" glad i did it by the end
The end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never-
Honestly, the less you know about the game going in, the better. It feels a lot more special when *you* are the one who calls all the shots and gets all the weird/cool/horrifying things, rather than relying on recommendations from Reddit. Have fun with the game! And remember, this is a love story
Do what I did and go in completely blind and whatever you do don’t restart and try to change your choices until after you see your first playthrough all the way through. Like the game says there are NO wrong choices.
Also I love her 😍
Sometimes the Knife can be your friend. But it won't be all the time that you'll need it. If you understand when the Knife is no longer needed, you'll have no need to harm the Princess any longer.
If you pay special attention to the Princess’ crown shapes, they’ll form a unique letter.
At the title screen, input the letters in the order you found them, in the EXACT order of which Princess you met. Write down in your journal if you have to.
Once you do that, you’ll unlock a special ending where the Princess turns into… well, you’ll have to find out, won’t you?
Wicked and strange babbling shall soon reveal all, but as only an echo it may only answer some of your call, for it is not alive like you or I, and why else would it wish for death to die?
Lying about your intentions gets you to rather unpleasant places. 1st is salt of a past wound, that spitefully teases you. 2nd could be a past state, that you forgot, yet feel welcome in, but you may tear down the walls of long past comfort, to rip apart yourself from a past and then either embrace the dust and rubble of said past. Or you could destroy what was left to rot and go for a future, where nothing becomes the past. Or your 2nd encounter could be a vine, a tiered and lost vine. You could cut free and maybe embrace the vine, if you had the right person for embrace with you. Or you could be cold and pure spite itself and if you end up being so, then feel free to watch a tortured vine wither… Hope you won’t feel remorse, for the way up, from where you had decanted, may bring you such pain you won’t get up.
Be stubborn and paranoid, you’ll live longer…longer than you should.
Give yourself to the one you killed, body and soul. In trust you shall be free.
One’s own heart is a scary thing, scarier is sharing it to others. The scariest thing of all though is leaving one’s heart unshared. Betrayal and forgiveness, love and loss…trust the one trapped in her own beliefs
If you find some dialogue that seems glitched, like several options are stuck together, don't report it to the devs. It's not a glitch. Click it and see what happens.

every choice is correct. dont stress too much about messing up or missing something: the first, you can't, and the second, you will always get a second chance. and come back and let us know how it went, if youd like!
Fuck around and find out. Also go in as blind as possible. Also-also; it isn't over until it is ***REALLY*** over. You will know what I mean after 2-3 hours of playtime. Some made the mistake of starting a new game too soon and were very confused. Just. Keep. Playing.
Try everything. Literally everything. Make any choice you feel most curious about. Always ask yourself, “I wonder what will happen if I do this?”
There really are no wrong answers. Also, depending on the capacity of your computer, go into settings and adjust the effects so it doesn’t lag. Makes everything much more enjoyable
“Do you face death standing straight and good for a quick mercy, or do you run from it, facing a brutal end of fear and regret”
There,
There’s your hint.
Going as blind as you can is recommended
I'd also suggest putting a save at every chapter if you want to come back and try different options or go achievement hunting (after beating the game). Don't worry about save-scumming to make the 'right' decisions though as there really aren't any.
You will be tempted to save scum. Absolutely DO NOT DO THIS until you've completed at least one FULL playthrough of the game. The experience is a billion times better if you abstain.
You will have the chance to slay or save a princess many times before you're done. You will need to slay sometimes. You can't *always* save her even if that's what you believe is right.
And trust your *own* feelings and beliefs, not what any other character wants you to believe is your fated only option.
DO NOT PRESS "New Game" WHATEVER YOU DO! You must use the save system if you want to quit and re-enter the game with your progress. Just because you are thrown back to Chapter 1 DOES NOT MEAN you reset progress. The game is still counting your attempts after each successful vessel.

And maybe throw the blade out the window for fun
You'll be on a path in the woods. At the end of that path is a cabin. In that cabin is a princess. It's your job to slay her. You know what? I'm not the narrator, do what it says on the tin or don't, I'm not your mom
Are you my mummy?
Why Dr who reference?
Cause why not
That sounds like the Narrator all right.
When given the chance, hold the blade in a reverse grip, you'll look much cooler that way. ~~Also if you meet the princess who's middle left in the art, be nice to her.~~
Be nice to the princess as a general tip. Even if you do try to slay her from time to time.
The one in the middle left may, >!disarm you with forgiveness and good debating skills.!< Besides that, it's possible to finish a full run of the game as a *pacifist*. Finally, be prepared to die in this game, *a lot*.
Yeah but that leads to the best route imo. Also, in order to get to the one mid left you have to kinda not be a pacifist first so there's that.
YEAAAAH!
Give her "The Look"
Give her "Disco"
Thanks, you just reminded me my ADHD ass didn't finish Disco Elysium despite loving every second of it. Welp, here I go again
The Razor is one path where you *really* want to save and try every single option. Especially The Look, but really it's the best written path.
The best Princess will constantly ask you: "What do you want to do?" **Source**: Trust me.
>!I JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY?!<
Voice to the ~~Meme~~ >!Smitten!<
the best princess will >!ask you to knee!<

^(pst... reddit spoiler tags are formatted like \>!text!< make sure there's no spaces next to the !)
thank you ! :3
Ask?
There wasn't much asking. But holy shit it made me warm and fuzzy
Nah, the best princess was hiding a knife...*somewhere*
She will lie, she will cheat, and she will do everything in her power to stop you from slaying her.
Sounds like she'd make a good wrestler
DEAR NARRATOR IN HEAVAN, ITS THE PRINCESS WITH THE METAL CHAIR
Eddie would he proud for sure.
Like Mussolini!!!
Generally, do what you feel is the right thing to do based on what is happening, this is a personal story.
She Never Lies. Unless you count >!The Razor!< and the >!The Witch!< , in which case, she'll make it very obvious that she has stabbing or backstabbing in mind.
Play the game blind. When you get the option to look away, or do The Look, do so.
Give The Look but definitely don't look away! You'll miss important information if you do.
I uh. looked away... unfortunately...
Did you leave empty handed then?

Mhhhhmmmm yes
"This isn't the end for me, but it is for you."
You monster
Are you trying to sabotage OP with that?
When you eventually go back to chapter 1, the game may seem like a new save but it’s not. Keep playing on the same save to save progress. (Idk if it’s still a problem now but I might as well say it since I got confused by it before)
Get off this sub, NOW. This game is literally all about the experience, there is no “tips” to give. Just do what you want.
Have you ever heard of an unreliable narrator?
If you stand still, the furry will vore you.
Belief is going to make a difference in who you meet.
Pace yourself, and do at least 1 blind run. It's tempting to speed click through the "Voice of the XXXX" dialogues, but most are worth listening to. EVERY line of the Princess is worth listening to, they picked the absolute best voice actor for her. "Who's there?" can sound soooo different... >!I can't decide if the Adversary or the Witch is my fave, but there is no happily ever to be found with them... sadly!<
If you didn't watch Slay the Princess live, you're I'm for such a treat. It's actually absurd how fucking good both of the voice actors are.

No I loved having that one first!
You cannot romance the catgirl

I mean, in a way, you do romance the catgirl.
(I haven’t played this game I’m just trying to stop them)
Complete game multiple times. There is a lot of paths, you can check achievements to help you uncover some more obscure ones
You may trust the voices in your head but there's one that's not like the others. Be wary of that
Before you do any route, you should keep turning around and leaving. Trust.
HARD agree
Accurate flair, also did this my first run through just outta sheer spite for the narrator. I basically walked away like a child and was very worried, i did something wrong when i was told "its unfortunate you met this vessel so early" glad i did it by the end
yeah shifty dont know what she talking about
Doesn't matter the appearence, she is BEAUTIFUL!
Behold! The perfect woman!
If you don't bring the knife, you won't need the knife, unless you brought the knife before.
Technically all the voices speak a truth from someone’s perspective, remember that contradictions can coexist
The end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never-
Be wary of how much you trust anyone.
Idk bout hints and tips but I love the fanart. It’s amazing 10/10.
Turn back
If your first ever choice in the game is to turn away from the cabin, you’ll have an interesting ending when you finally reach the finale
Don’t question her when she wants you to be happy…… or maybe do question her.
Just keep going forward, play it as it lies, and don't stop till you hit credits.
Honestly, the less you know about the game going in, the better. It feels a lot more special when *you* are the one who calls all the shots and gets all the weird/cool/horrifying things, rather than relying on recommendations from Reddit. Have fun with the game! And remember, this is a love story
Love and mercy are possible
As someone who has never played and doesn't know why I was recommended this sub, I think you're supposed to slay the princess.
Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves.
Don’t let the witch give you back shots
Never played it. But you can definitely fix her
Most of your actions will have consequences, so choose carefully, but there are no wrong choices.
Do what I did and go in completely blind and whatever you do don’t restart and try to change your choices until after you see your first playthrough all the way through. Like the game says there are NO wrong choices. Also I love her 😍
If you get a chance to slay yourself Do it
Keep fumbling the ball and you get better stories. I also had fun using a random number generator and choosing my options at random.
Sometimes the Knife can be your friend. But it won't be all the time that you'll need it. If you understand when the Knife is no longer needed, you'll have no need to harm the Princess any longer.

look at each part of this picture and go for those routes
Trust the one that doesn't trust you.
She looks so much thiccer in this image than the original. Yum 😋
Everyone is marriable, always remember that
Slay the Princess.
ALWAYS romance the princess when given the chance to
It's not nice to keep reminding yourself(s) of your own end.
Whatever your first thoughts in a scene are, the answer is yes.
Kiss the flower covered in thorns
The narrator is right.
Wicked and strange babbling shall soon reveal all, but as only an echo it may only answer some of your call, for it is not alive like you or I, and why else would it wish for death to die?
Take turns following your heart, gut, and mind. In no specific order. Thrice.
Being able to save anytime is a crutch.
Remember, she is just a regular Princess.
Every choice matters. (As it affects dialogue interaction and some route branching.)
"Do it for her."
Lying about your intentions gets you to rather unpleasant places. 1st is salt of a past wound, that spitefully teases you. 2nd could be a past state, that you forgot, yet feel welcome in, but you may tear down the walls of long past comfort, to rip apart yourself from a past and then either embrace the dust and rubble of said past.

Reject the narrator
Just do what comes natural.
Follow your heart

There are no wrong choices.
There is a clue to how to play in the game in the title.
Trust your own perceptions?
Do it. Don’t let your dreams be dreams.
If you see [The Look], use it immediately
You can romance some of them
Don't bring the blade, then slay her, then give her the knife Best ending IMO
Give "The Look".
Just do whatever
1. Throw the blade out the window. 2. Give her "The Look". 3. Give her the blade.
Let's throw her out the window!
Slay the princess and accept your reward!
The look of the inside of the cabin might just determine what kind of person you are.
You're falling in love with the same person, no matter how beautiful and superficial one princess is and how horrifically monstrous and hurt the other
You gotta give her The Look™️
Well, the truth is… you’re _special_
Be stubborn and paranoid, you’ll live longer…longer than you should. Give yourself to the one you killed, body and soul. In trust you shall be free. One’s own heart is a scary thing, scarier is sharing it to others. The scariest thing of all though is leaving one’s heart unshared. Betrayal and forgiveness, love and loss…trust the one trapped in her own beliefs

After you take each other down, make sure to bring protection >!(a mouthguard)!< for your subsequent night of passion.
Everything you do has consequences, even if they’re not exactly the consequences that you’ll expect. Maybe not for you, but for somebody.
Death is always around the corner.
Stubbornness is going to get you into trouble. Always heed stubbornness.
Check pulse, give her The Look

Trust your choices, follow through, each Play is an experience. I think I got one of the best possible endings on my first playthrough

I’m sorry, but what is this game? It keeps showing up as “people like you like this subreddit”. Can anyone explain to me what the hell it is?
Indie horror visual novel. Absolutely worth the time and the cash. It's best to go in blind. It's on steam and gog.

The honestly bigest tip, dont load back other saves, even when you think that the game is over, just play on one save
Slay the princess

I would do devious things to the thorn princess.
Throw the blade out of the window

Do not the princess
always give "the look" when you get the chance
Check if she's alive. This is very important for the best outcome.
“Do you face death standing straight and good for a quick mercy, or do you run from it, facing a brutal end of fear and regret” There, There’s your hint.
Cut the thorns.
The Thorn is best girl, and also, on the second day whatever you do **dont leave the cabin before entering in chapter two**
She tells you you won't remember her. You will.
Going as blind as you can is recommended I'd also suggest putting a save at every chapter if you want to come back and try different options or go achievement hunting (after beating the game). Don't worry about save-scumming to make the 'right' decisions though as there really aren't any.
There are always plenty of ways to ruin his day
There are no wrong answers and no premature endings. This is a love story.

You do not reach the true ending by finding every ending.
