Mechanically speaking "Slay the Princess" is a "choose your own adventure" visual novel. The gameplay revolves around making choices and seeing what happens. Thankfully exploring those choices and what they do is very compelling and interesting because of the strange setting and excellent writing.

Each possible route is very different. Saying anything beyond that would be spoilers. All the reviews suggesting you play this blind are absolutely correct. The less you know before you play this game, the more enjoyable it will be.

Do be aware that the developer's "MATURE CONTENT DESCRIPTION" is very accurate. Some routes in this game are horrifying, unsettling and violent. No jumpscares though.

Overall great game if you enjoy "choose your own adventure" stuff. This game knows exactly what it wants to be and executes it perfectly.
