it takes a qu33n to slay a princess :)

 yass kween… i mean princess, it is time to slaaaaaaaaay.

slay the princess is hard af. the first time i beat it i think i was even more shocked than my home slice, yuraiya! we couldn't believe i actually accomplished something instead of just dying for the 8675309th time in a row! you gotta think so far outside the box in this game that the box doesn't even exist anymore. it's not like anything i've ever played, and it blew my brains out of my ass until i finally understood it. i mostly play games to compete against myself & feel satisfied when i somehow don't mess up. slay the princess gives me that exact fire under my ass to try harder. such complex emotions - makes me excited, angry, amused, & satisfied all at once. sooooo good. the surrealism & dangers plus art style remind me a bit of don't starve, only there’s more than just life to worry about; there’s a whole universe cluster. they both have that trippy, macabre whimsy edward gorey vibe. pictured is one of my rare victories, and yuraiya and i agreed this is one of her prettier forms. (but we love the gory ones too!)

overall i find slay the princess to be one of the most challenging games i’ve played in a couple years. to have any chance of beating it, i have to really prepare myself mentally & physically, get the rockstar ready and my bowels evacuated to a comfy level. but i kinda want to play again & see if (prob with more of yuraiya’s help) i can slay even harder! 💜
