Total damsel victory
Welp, can't go to sleep so I guess I'll just do another run and get the rest of the new Princesses.
hATE THAT THE GALLERY ISN'T AUTO FILLED
>>692795050Damselbros, I KNEEL
>mfw anon STILL hasn't played Pristine Cut
>>692795050Just finished going through my first run post-update Moment of Clarity, Princess and the Dragon, The Cage, Empty Cup, Happily Ever After, I'm really liking the new routes. The new Spectre route is fantastic I love how they handled the Long Quiet, Happily Ever After was cute as fuck and almost feels like a response to the responses I've seen to the Damsel. The new Prisoner branch is good, the weakest of the three but it's a natural conclusion to the themes of the first one and addresses an issue I've seen people have with the original chapter leaving her head leading to The GreyWas hoping for some Razor changes but I didn't see any. Might try again though.I have not seen the new endings yet either.
>>692795620I really liked how the new Spectre and Damsel chapters were more willing to play around with the established formula and do weird things with it.
>>692795050>>692795562>New route proves that the Smitten is the most powerful voice once again.SMITTEN BROS WE'RE EATING GOOD TONIGHT.
>>692794620New princesses are cute. New ending.
ARE YOU STILL THERE? ARE YOU STILL YOU?
>>692796210No...
>>692796210YES
>I just wanted to get back to the entrance>You're on your own
>>692796210I am and I love her.
Are you still there? Are you still you?
>in one of the new routes the Narrator can realize that his plan is complete dogshit>the new ending is for his total victoryBruh. I guess the Contrarian will be all for it
>>692795719>The new Spectre route is fantasticwe're so fucking back
Hi
>>692780389We need an update for this.I might do a little bit of data mining just to make sure I have the right triggers. They all seem pretty straight forward but you never know.
Spectrechads can't stop winning
Princessbros, we stay winning.
>>692796749>the new ending is for his total victoryNOOO I WANT MORE FLUFF
how the fuck do you hold Fury's hand?
Now that we have the extended cut, what's the worst ending and why is it hanging out with Prisoner? Seriously thought they'd expand it a little bit but it's the same as before.
>skeptic and smitten being at their worst in cage and happily ever afterit's interesting to see, and we get to see shit like broken and paranoid respectively standing up to them
>>692797503Paranoid was always an understated mvp though, dude is the only reason you survive at all during Nightmare and gives you the ability to kill Wraith. Interested to see what Broken can do, though.
I like how Princess and the Dragon is basically a round about way to finally get the default princess out of the cabin and into shifty's hands.
>>692797637true I love paranoid he was my first voice, and he also correctly surmises that reality is malleable and that we can will shit into happening, like if he's in the cage with you he can help you cut yourself free by making the chains rusty, whereas if you do what skeptic says you will be forever stuck because skeptic just assumes the chains are unbreakable.
>>692796749Sad thing is Mirror Narrator doesn't even realize how retarded his plan is so no wonder the new ending let's you double down on it.
>>692797952>he can help you cut yourself free by making the chains rustyYeah, that's actually what I got my first time too. Also didn't eat the food in Happily Ever After thanks to his advice.
imma parrot
>>692795562>>692795562Apparently Tony (lead writer for Black Tabby) says Damsel chapter 3 is his favorite thing he's ever written. I can see why it's kino of the highest order. Really all the new chapter threes are really good
>>692798179Look down at her boobs.
>>692798269Tony really doubled down on the sappy romance in Damsel and Specter's Chapter 3s. It's cute.
>>692796749THE BEST ENDING. Crowbros won hard.
I haven't read a single post in this thread, tell me without spoilers what routes I should do first in this update. I want to see the new stuff ASAP to I can talk about it here.
>>692798361>won hardYou killed your wife.
>>692798361Interesting, feels like a direct response to people claiming that the Narrator was full of shit and that his world would be completely stagnant.
>>692798269>picrelI fucking love in den when your discussing the gameplan with skeptic and hunted narrator just sits there going confused "...sharp teeth?" not knowing how beastly the princess has become yet
>>692798372spoilers just contain instructions on getting the new routes, if needed.Specter take the knife down, let her in your body, then kill yourself for the new branchPrisoner let her cut off her own head, leave the head and go back upstairsApotheosis via TowerFury via AdversaryDamsel get just to the brink of derealing her, there's a new option where you choose to just stay in the room with her instead of leaving and she agrees to do soI swear to god they took the idea for the Damsel and Prisoner route from here.
>>692798372Damsel > Spectre > Prisoner
>>692798603Got it, Spector, prisoner apotheosis, fury and damsel. I will prioritize those routes, thanks
>>692798372You can do any route first, but make sure you do Damsel last.
>>692798603>DamselYou can also get the new route by going up the stairs but choosing to keep you both there. After Smitten rips your chest open you get Opportunist as the new Voice.
Would have been neat if there had been an adversarial aspect of the princess that could have taken over, like how Apo got close. One that hates you and the only option is to slay.
you wouldn't...
>>692798727>One that hates you and the only option is to slay.That's essentially what vanilla Fury was and people hated it.
>>692798694>do Damsel lastdoes that actually change something or is it just for the story telling factor
>>692798750Never
>>692798750Sorry Princess I need that achievement
>>692798841story telling factor
>>692795050I had heard this game was getting an expansion, is it out now?
>>692798963Yes
>>692798892I purposefully didn't get one last achievement, trust issues
>>692798998dope thanks, Ill pick it up
BECOME THE PRINCESS
If I take off your mask, will you die?>It would be extremely painful---You're a pretty big gal--->For YOU.
>>692798963Expansion is a bit of a misnomer. It's a free update that adds a few new chapters and revamps the least popular chapters.
>>692798269>Apparently Tony (lead writer for Black Tabby) says Damsel chapter 3 is his favorite thing he's ever writtenI-Is his marriage okay?
>>692798750I don't want your body to be alone. You should keep it company
>>692799067UUUU
>>692799079Uh, yes? I think the point is that you can find joy even at your lowest moments
>>692799079It seems like if anything, Prisoner chp 3 was the hardest chapter on them
>>692799042>We can finally become the princess>Prisoner's head leads to a new chapter>You can choose to stay in the basement with DamselTHEY'RE HERE READING OUR POSTS RIGHT NOW AHHHHHHHH
>Queen /v/ in two weeksAnyone gonna support the Princess again this year? It'd be nice to see her on the bracket again.>>692798603For Damsel a chapter 3 that happens from you trying to just stay in the cabin with The Princess and Smitten goes villainous was something they wanted to do in the base game but couldn't get it feeling right in time. It was always in the conceptual stage until they realized how to do it right
>>692799213I don't care about that shit but sure, I'll vote for her.
how did they fix Apotheosis, can you kill it?
>>692799213 what the FUCK is his powerlevel by the way that he could construct the epilogue without the narrator realizing, get rid of the blade, and detach from our head, we never see any of the other voices do anything nearly as groundbreaking, sure cheated teleported us around but he wasn't fucking going "and then razor just exploded becuase I HATE HER"
>Still can't have messy gory razor sexTerrible unforgivable update, 7/10
>>692799375Smitten was always seemingly the most powerful voice, given that he was casually bending reality (thorns moving aside, door magically unlocking, chains falling off Damsel because he thought they should) without any input from you or others. Also one of the only voices that can straight up murder you if you don't listen to it.
>>692799543>do damsel>grab knife>walk down to her>stab her>this makes smitten seethe so hard that he rants and then kills us>in the grey he immediately continues ratingit's still funny everytime I do it
>>692799375You've always knownhttps://youtu.be/WtdRv6GT9Zg?feature=shared
>mfw Spectre 3Legitimately the most unnerved I've felt from theis game since the demo. I'm glad I chose to play this at night
>>692800157all the Chapter 3s are genuinely freaky, besides Thorn of course
>>692798750How do I get to this point? I’m stuck in the cycle of violence and headless mortal combat no matter what I do.
>>692800351You need to force Skeptic to kill you to enter the chapter with Cheated.
>>692800351Maybe try removing the implement of violence?
>>692800351Get Cheated. To get him, you need to agree to Narrator's happiness until Skeptic kills you
>Broken shows up for The Cage>ditch the knife>just try talking to the Princess>leads to happy endingBetween the Cage and the Wild, I'm actually starting to like the Broken, he's better than everyone gives him credit for.
>>692800408>>692800432Uhh, I hope I didn’t miss the turnoff for this. I lost the democracy vote to toss the knife…Can I reload to just when I start the cage and get away with it or do I need to go WAY back?
>>692800351>>692800408>>692800440broken works too I hear.
>>692800351get cheated or broken, either by pussying out of killing yourself or pussying out and making skeptic kill yourself for you
YOU ARE OUT OF MY LEAGUEALL THE THINGS I BELIEVE
>>692800574Genuinely my favorite princess now, I think. She’s the one that makes the narrator realize his world is wrong, by making the two of you live in a microcosm of it forever.
Damsel 3's dancing ending genuinely made me tear up in happiness. I love this game.
>>692800514You came in with Paranoid? Sorry anon, but you have to go back (to Chapter 2)
>>692799213She has my vote...It starts in two weeks?
>>692799186I'm disappointed that we didn't get to STAB OPPORTUNIST FUCK HIM FUCK THE PRINCESS I WANT A "SLAY YOURSELF" OPTION TO DEAL WITH THAT FAGGOT OPPORTUNIST I'LL KILL HIM

>>692796547>>692800574>>692800689So much handholding in this update. I love it.
the Chapter 3s are all rather bleak
>>692797637>Interested to see what Broken can do, though.He leads to you being able to free the Cage by throwing the knife away
Can I get a QRD on Specter's third?
Cameltoe
>>692801278Becoming overly focused on a single aspect of anything quickly turns into obsession.That's kind of the point of some and especially Happily Ever After given Smitten goes yandere enough to cuck himself just to satisfy our want to be happy with the Princess.
Got this last weekend and just finished my second playthrough tonight. It told me I unlocked "memories" and to use it to figure out stuff I missed but everything is greyed out? I definitely should have unlocked some of them

>>692801576Based.
>>692801576>he didn't pacifist adversaryweak sauce
Oh nice I forgot this was getting an update, I missed a bunch of the popular princesses that people spam in these threads when I played through so I guess it's a good time for some new run throughs
>>692801254I guess you're right, I'll go play through those routes and maybe take a look at the old ones to see if I can move some letters around
>>692801278?The new specter and damsel ones have very cute and hopeful endings, along with the Thorn good end they're now the trifecta of vanilla romance routes.
>>692799375He's the least tethered to reality, so because of our powers, he inadvertently has the most potential to bend reality to his ultra simping.
>>692801708I guess there's not much point in asking who you missed since you wouldn't be able to tell us.Regardless if you haven't done Razor do Razor go down with knife, steel yourself, question if the princess has a hidden weapon, slay, finish her. Not the only way but it has special dialogue that you don't get with the more "standard" method.
>no futa princess What's even the point
>>692800537yeah I got to Cage with Broken, don't know if the option to drop her presents itself with him though
>>692801986it does, he calls you a monster.
>>692800689>no kissThornbros still winning
Thornbros... This new Damsel... I...
>>692801938Stop being a faggot.
>>692801576>>Stranger?>Known
I am usually an achievement completionist but even rolling back time in this game makes me feel like a real asshole. Having to get all the slayer achievements will be rough.
>>692802330for me the major appeal of thorn is still there, you've both hurt each other and are trying to turn a new leaf together, if you perfer damsel than go right on ahead, no one is stopping you
>>692802330don't get to kiss
uhhhhhhhhh guys?! I think I fucked up
>>692802479Did you toss the knife?
>>692798750
>Contrarian convinces Stubborn to throw the blade out the windowKEK
I haven't cried this much since getting the good ending of VIGILANT for Skyrim.
Do not open.
Well now this is new, I believe this is the first time we have ever seen a voice outside of our head isn't it?
>>692802969Kind of.Play Specter's new chapter next.
>>692798750I wouldhttps://e-hentai.org/s/d557ccaa7c/1748633-10
guess I'm on the cutting edge so here's an update from the route
>>692802526uh... kinda?
>>692801897Razor was literally my first one,I was just trying to do what the title told me to do
>>692803384Same here man, I'm so fortunate to have come across best girl from the very beginning. Couldn't have started the game off on a better foot.>>692801897What's the more 'standard' method of reaching her?
>>692803601Steel yourself, slay her, check the body.
>>692803384I got Razor first in the demo, in the full game I went with Prisoner just because she seemed the most "normal" so it felt like it made sense to start with her
>>692803189you fucked up
>What did I ever do to deserve you?TLQ confirmed to be an UGLY BASTARD
>>692801576BASED!
>The Razor>The Fury >The Deconstructed Damsel>The Spectre>The Eye of the NeedleI love the Princess but I'm very conflictpilled. It took every ounce of my being to not stab myself when with The Spectre.
>>692803883>It took every ounce of my being to not stab myself when with The Spectre.Go back and fix your mistake then they turned it into the trigger for her new route
>spectre 3what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck
If becoming the princess caused you to change course, you're utter scum, even worse than the people who turned on her as soon as they regained power.
after the release what's the ranking of our voices bros? any changes?
>>692804127Opportunistic dropped a rank.Broken rose up a bit.
>>692804031Why does stabbing her make her nicer and more reasonable?>>692804127Kill opportunist
>>692804163>spoilerThe exact answer is that the devs realized they forgot to include content for one of their fetishes.In this case, possession/personality theft.
>>692804210That's my fetish, but having the princess go damsel on us detracted from the experience. Does her personality depend on whether or not you tried to stab her when she was a ghost?
>>692804316Dunno, I didn't.At any rate, she normalizes because the engine for her morphology is currently missing its main perception system.. you.
>>692804127Opportunist apologists in shambles, confirmed to be the biggest fucking bastard voice.Broken stocks rocketed up and he's no longer the absolute worst.Skeptic dropped slightly, Smitten is a bit more divisive now.Paranoid is now the uncontested best voice.Hero continues to do nothing and get bullied by everyone.
>>692804127so far Cold's up and Skeptic's down
>>692804408>Hero continues to do nothing and get bullied by everyone.MY FUARKING HERO
>>692804408>uncontested best voice>doesn't even show up in the final cabinI wish I could take contrarian into every chapter...
>>692804112I am going to be spending so much time exploring the dialogue options for this route, I love this update
>>692804316It depends on if spectre_hostile is true or false going into the chapter>What thatA variable that controls how gentle/flirty spectre is in her chapter. It's triggered by doing the attack/grab option while she isn't hostile.
>>692804649Oh. Great. Testing now.
>Contrarian and Stubborn just deciding biology's a suggestion>them slaying the princess with the power of spite alonefun stuff
>>692802969How do I unlock the gallery piece of discovering who the shadow is?
>>692804316>>692804649Angry Specter just getting up and knocking Oppurtunist on the ass is so satisfying. Even better is when she charges to kill you but can't do it.>>692800738It starts November 8th
where do I pirate?
>>692804994>Dragon makes it canon that we just stare off into space while the voices in our head argueFun stuff.
So did this update shift around your princess/voice tier list, /v/? Any big winners?
>>692804994The smile is a nice touch.
>>692805089wow he's just like me frfr
>>692805230Den is no longer shit. Feels like the most honest princess. Wilds fell a few spaces because 0 content, and I have yet to check Grey and Fury.
>>692805316Wilds was already perfect.
>>692804649I found this out because a friend who I recommended the game too called Spectre a bitch. Which had both of us confused, because I'd told him she was one of the most laid back princesses, but not when you keep trying to kill her.
>Long Quiet's face changes for each voicekino>Narrator
IMAGINE being the few anons who though the based devs would shit on the waifufags.
>>692805495FUCK, hit send too early
>>692805572just delete the post and try again
>>692805316Wilds is kino. Worst chapters are easily the Greys now for being the only 'lol you lose' chapters left. Fury, wraith, Caged do bad end chapter 3s way better

>>692805548>We made these games with monsterfuckers in minddirect quote from devs, could not imagine being a doubter

Anything new with Stranger or nah?

>>692806073
>>692798153Interesting. In Happily Ever After I had the Voice of the Opportunist
>>692806073All 3 princesses have some expanded ending lines, but nothing on her route.
How do I get the new ending. I'm failing to realize what I could do different.
I don't have a screenshot of the fury before the update but this is new right? I don't recall her domain being filled with talon's before.
>>692805594what's done is done I figure. I was going to say that the Narrator getting broken by the endless cycle is kino as well
>they not only double down on the waifufaggotry but triple and QUADROUPLE DOWN with Spectre, Damsel, Prisoner and Fury
>>692806705Nope, it's always looked like down.
>>692806810Remember how the damsel became flanderized if you kept pressing her before the update? That is just what is happening here in a meta sense.
I did it. I slayed the princess.
>>692806810This is a love story
>>692806946Shut up Smitten, this is a story where we slay the princess.
Good night /stp/Remember that DEATH DOES NOT GIVE LIFE MEANING.Find your purpose and live your life to the fullest, appreciate the small things in life for what they are. Take care of your health and loved ones, don't fall for Shifty propaganda.
>>692806987Death absolutely gives life meaning. If death didn't exist then there would be no stakes, if death didn't exist then life wouldn't exist since there would be nothing to contrast it. Nothing in existence can exist without it's own shadow.
>>692806987NIGGER
oops thought it said lay sorry
>>692803114Same route I had. Had Voice of the Paranoid. Was a really well done route in my opinion and I can't wait to check out the other ones later. It might not be a happy ending, but it fits extremely well with the theme.
>>692806987what if what gives my life meaning is to experience it with my soulmate you corvid piece of shit
The narrator really does have a hard time describing the story of the player doesn't play along. He had a hard time in the Stanley parable as well if we didn't play along there either.

>>692807152Damn that was fast, the update hasn't even been out that long yet and we already have her dancing under the stars.
>>692807249it predates the Pristine Cut.The artist just had the gift of prophecy

>>692804561I love all the ending hints in the various extra routes.
>>692807593Arguably the biggest winner, her new route is pure kino.
Man I wanna fuck prisoner and her derivatives even more now
>>692807410Paranoid stops you from throwing the blade because he's the one that kills you with it in PrisonerBroken and Cheated let you toss it because they're the You that never wanted to die during Prisonerinterdasting

>>692807552To get this ending, you need 5 unique dialogue Red Text options for the final encounter. The best method to achieving this is essentially go for bad route endings, where you go against the Princess.It'll take a bit of trial and error to figure out what can get you red text and you'll probably end up doing full runs just to get caught out by 1 "good" ending for a Princess.Ultimately it's trial and error and remembering what can get you "bad" endings, then do a run with 5 full bad endings for a full red text ending
>>692807593Well, she gets a great end to her route...but she stops being the Specter in the process.
>think what you will. I'm done fighting.FUCK.
>>692807593Spectre won so damn hard it's not even funny
>>692807848Oh, so it's basically a hate the princess ending? Damn.

>>692807970Sorry prisoner, not in my timezone. You gotta do the pose again in three hours time.
>>692807940Yep. You'll also need to go for the Slay the Princess prompt during the final encounter and if you have all 5 red text dialogue triggers, you'll get a unique ending start with a final decider choice which should be self explanatory which option you go to get the achievement.

I am not okay.I am NOT okay.I AM NOT OKAY.It's nice that there are a couple more "happy" endings now. And fuck me, Narrator's moment of realization in Happily Ever After even hit ME pretty hard.
>>692795050shill me on this vn

>>692808187THIGHSBOOBS:3
>>692795050So how was the update/rerelease/whatever it is? Any good?
>>692808130If spectre is so great why can't she afford chapstick?>>692808158It's not a huge change so don't get too hyped up.
>>692808267We don't need to, simply buy it or torrent it to try it out. No amount of shilling can get you to play it if you don't want to.
Stubborn is such a bro
>>692808306>Mfw no face
>>692808259I just stared at the screen for a while multiple times throughout HEA.

>>692800850>Jiren posting in slay the princess threadDude... touch grass
Can you kiss Prisoner's severed head?
>>692808259Scar on her cheststump of her severed arm offscreenThis is a cute ending, but from a "how the princess comes out the other side" angle she's lost a lot to get here physically and mentally.
>>692808187see >>692802893>>692808267Nice romance/horror (mostly cosmic horror, body horror and gore) visual novel that's not too long of a read at least for a single playthrough and is good at making you feel things. Fells genuine and like a passion project.
>>692808306She's beautiful...
>>692808267It's religious propaganda packaged as a waifu. Spend your money elsewhere.
>>692808267Imagine trying to construct your ideal wife but your only options to achieve this are to have her kill you or you kill her in a variety of different ways. And all of the writing is shockingly good and there's a great overarching narrative to keep you invested.

One of my favorite bits of The Long Quiet music is when the singer holds that one, piercingly high note for a few seconds. Something about it just fits.
>>692808373I borderline had an existential crisis by the end of it.Not what I was expecting when I booted up Pristine Cut today.

>>692808794Which path was so changed that you feel this way now when compared to the original version?
>>692808794I was really hoping for The Lamb.But honestly, what we got is so much better.
>mfw telling the Princess about the meme title cards and trying not to sound like a schizo
>>692808854>meme title cardsI don't get it
>>692808880meta*
>>692808854It's too late, she was already in our head...she knows about the schizo voices...
>>692808880Apparently our character sees the title cards in universe somehow
>>692808481One of the game's biggest reoccuring themes is that conflict gives people texture, hell one of the bigger themes of Damsel is how vapid the idea of zero conflict fairy tale esque love at first sight can be.
>>692808827Damsel's Chapter 3 specifically has a particular theme that kind of hit a bit close to home for me.I actually had to get up for a few hours and cool off.
>>692808827I want to give New Fury a hug
>>692808880They threw a meta joke into the Princess and Dragon chapter about the title cards. It's mostly harmless but some of the resulting dialogue sets stuff up for later in the chapter if you go a certain path.
>>692808974Ah, the desperately trying recapture the joy of something that you no longer experience. Like trying to play an old video game that you enjoyed greatly years ago, only to find its not hitting you anymore when you play it.
>tfw actually start to get scared Princess doesn't love LQ anymore in Chapter 3 Damsel>audibly breath sigh of relief when she just wants to go dancingthis game makes me into a complete bitch
>>692808972I guess, but there's conflict and then there's just being an amputee forever. Some other Princesses are able to grow without such lasting wounds.
>>692809083You never have to worry about her love. She's a part of you, and you're a part of her. You're literally soulmates who will inevitably be drawn together so long as the both of you exist.
>>692809083Chapter 3 was a nice rebuttal of both Damsel purists ("SHE'S HAPPY SO IT'S FINE") and Damsel haters ("She's a fake bitch and is just using you to leave the cabin.") Well done deconstruction of the prior chapter.
>>692809114>Some other Princesses are able to grow without such lasting wounds.I mean the prior chapter she was literally dead so it could have been worse.
>you would never play StP for the first time againHow do you cope?
>>692809184It's shocking that one act can give her such a great amount of depth. She goes from the simplest Princess (by design) to a very nuanced and interesting one that plays out the narrator's entire plan in miniature without even revealing that's what it's doing to the uninformed.
>>692809335I got to play three new routes for the first time today
>>692809064That, and the whole thing of just kind of spinning your wheels. Stagnation. Doing... not much of anything, but pretending that everything is alright. As if just being there is good enough. Things'll change, just gotta keep doing it. Over and over. Next time, for sure. It'll get better.It's easy to do, and easy to ignore how nothing is actually improving, or maybe even actually getting worse. But to have that staring back at you, it actually hit me pretty hard. Like, sure that's a huge theme to the game's narrative, but to see it applied to such mundane thing as dinner really sold it to me.The Narrator's revelation is what gave me the final gut punch. He didn't resist anymore. He finally came to the realization that stagnation, endless, pointless "being," may be far worse than being gone.And later, you can tell the final Echo that one of the others realized this was all wrong. And his coping intensifies pretty hard.
>>692809335She can do anything if you believe in her. If you think she can make you forget, you will.
I don't trust any motherfucker who 100% this game, there are routes that I refuse to read because it's too cruel to my Princess>>692809335by mods, new VAs and writing fanfics, DUHor get consumed by the implications of the Damsel 3 Route
>>692809335The same way I do with every other good vidya you finally come across: keep wading through the trash until you find something new and good enough to obsess over
I found a download link, says 11 gbthat's not right, yeah?
>>692809335The damsel chapter 3 already tells you what you should do in that situation. It doesn't matter how many additions or things get added, you can never get that first hit again.
>>692809621I don't know, it was pretty big the first time around too.
>Collector's Box comes with a statue.Expensive as hell but it's tempting.
>>692809621Western indie games and bloated file sizes, name a more iconic duo.Honestly though that's about right, the game is fully voiced.
I want to make the big bad of my homebrew DnD campaign a variation on the Shifting Mound that is trying to assimilate and become one with everything in order to feel whole and make those she merges with become whole as well. Does that sound cool?
>>692809937Depends on if you as a DM can pull it off, as well as having the right kind of players for that.

>>692810003>Razor gameHuh? That's new.
>>692809507I hated hated hated that route; not because it was bad, but because it dredged up all the pain I felt in losing someone close to you, like in Blue Valentine. Fuckin hell, this game is bullshit
>>692810003Huh? There is a NEW prompt archive? I only had the old one.
>>692810107If a game can't make you feel pain how can you know it's any good. The very fact that the game made you hate it on an emotional level must mean its doing something right
>>692810107That is the exact sensation the entire route was going for, so it succeeded. Significantly.
>>692809971I think I can, at least if I make sure to do a couple playthroughs right before they get to her so I engrain her circular way of talking in my head.
>>692810107it was definitely the most uncomfortable I've felt playing vidya for a long time.Especially with the creeping terror that maybe Damsel doesn't actually love (You)
Wish we could have gotten sprites of all the voices.
after getting the fifth Princess and returning to the mirror, was the cursor always a crow head? I just noticed that.
>defeating Fury with Stubborn and Contrarian doesn't count for the new Slay EndingGoddammit
>>692810204>>692810268Well maybe it's because I love the game deep down but getting my heart ripped out is scary no fucking pun intended.Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna staple some squirrels to my goddamn wife.
Making Damsel cry is the most emotional any game has ever made me.I just sat there stunlocked and staring at the options for at least 10 minutes...
>>692810497Uhh, am I too Smitten to worry about this? I've seen a few posts say this, but I was completely unconcerned about the idea of the Princess not loving me, I had literally zero doubts. I was like, "well, obviously the issue is the shadow and her lack of freedom, so long as we resolve that she should be happy with us!".
>>692810579Yes it does, I literally got that achievement with stubborn and contrarian. Did you take the blade?
Most rapable princess now?
>spectre immediately calms down and becomes happy when she's fused with just the core LQCute!
>>692810645It has and will always be The shifting mound
>>692810636Pretty sure I did, Contrarian always makes Stubborn toss it, right?
>>692810657>merge with the Princess>feel immediate sense of comfort even in that shitty basementthe devs knew exactly what they were doingalso fuck opportunist
>>692810645Caged, easily
>>692810657Yeah, I love that. She's just like,"Wait, no. This is good. Even more good than before. This feels right. Let's just keep going with this, yeah?" And she even gets sad when you get yanked out of her.
>>692810738>Pretty sure I didAnd that is where you fucked up.

>>692810849TPD
>>692809937I don't think it'd work that well. You've essentially just created a standard 'I will assimilate everything into me' type antagonist, while Shifty whole thing is that she doesn't want the whole world to just be one thing forever, but watch it all grow and change and decay and end and begin alongside her other half. Why would a being representing the potential for change want everything be 'whole'? Whatever that'd even mean.I mean, you could do that of course, but it wouldn't really be shifty anymore.
>>692796749>>the new ending is for his total victoryGood. Nothing was wrong with his plan anyways
>>692810942never mind, got it
>do you still care about me
>>692810741I hadn't played the game for a while so when I saw the long quiet heading down the stairs and start talking with a voice I didn't have yet, I spent a bit too long speculating which voice it was between cheated or someone else. But the moment he started talking about getting 'on top', I realized it was him and I was in trouble. Fucking hell, only Opportunist is scummy enough to try and take over like that, I love it.
>ARE YOU STILL YOU?!
>>692811331corvid cope
>>692811331He's right you know.
>>692810759It's a nice call back to how the thing that freaks her out the most in her chapter isn't you trying to kill her again or refusing to help her, but you trying to leave without her. The worst thing you can do to the princess is refuse to interact with her
>>692810554It's new, it shows up in a few chapters now too.
>>692810847>>692810959As gross as the topic is, you missed the point. She's in control. She's just deferring to fatalism as a way to cope, absolving herself of responsibility in the process, even when shown to be wrong.
>>692810626Nah, I get what they're saying but I wasn't really thinking about it. I wanted Damsel to feel happy and comfortable expressing herself first and foremost, I never doubted that she cares about LQ.
It's nice to see my queen again.
>>692810645Opportunist is a brat that demands rape correction.
What's with all of the opportunity hate? Does he do something new on a new path? Before people just hated him because they were simping for the catgirl
>>692810497I liked that she mirrors that worry once you leave, asking if you still like her. Mutual love wasn't the issue, but that you were both trying to force it to work in a way that was satisfying neither of you, while pretending it was the only way.
>>692810645Fuck princesses, we need the voices as woman so I can rape that backstabbing little bitch
>>692812065Just Smittens getting mad over nothing, ignore such people.
>>692812065Now they hate him because they're simping for the dedgirl
>>692812065In the new spectre path, he ends up as an extra voice in your head besides cold and the narrator, and as you can imagine, he immediately tries to take charge and kill (you) while (you)'re stuck in the princess' body.
>>692812065In the new Spectre route you get stuck in the princess's body, and the moment he finds that out he goes for the kill on you and her.
>>692812065He's a fucking traitor, and that's actually made relevant.
Local embodiment of stagnation not so indifferent after being torn from itselfLocal goddess not so mighty after being stabbed in the corneaLocal narrator not so invincible after being exposed to the unmatched power of the sunContrarian is skyrocketing for this.
wtf I didnt know smitten could do that
>>692812669What did he do?Did he committed a griffith?
>>692812770Turns out the smitten knows how to cook, which is something none of the other voices know how to do.
>>692812794Bastard
With the Pristine Cut finally out how do you rank StP as a VN?
>>69281299410/10, same as the original score.
>spectre routeAbsolute cinema.Bring me to the nearest morgue with a necromancer now.
>>692812994Honestly, among the best. The buggest advantage it has over japanese VNs is it doesn't overstay its welcome.
GHOST BLOWJOBWOO WOO

>>692813165speaking of the japanese, i hope the translations ultimately get us more arti need more princess love

>>692813275>he doubted
>>692813221>2 Shifty holding her hands
>>692812994Excellent.By far the best part of Slay the Princess, despite being a western VN, is that its wholly unironic and sincere. There were MULTIPLE opportunities for this game to just shit itself out of irony or pretending to be above its medium. But nah, it wears everything on its sleeve. A lesser dev would even try to poke a bit too much fun at the waifufags but here they're celebrated.
>>692813460WHAT THE FUCK?! Those are OUR hands to hold!
>>692813460Sometimes I can bring myself to play the Crow's route and be a Princess slayer, but then I get prompts like this and remember why I love her more.
>>692813532>A lesser dev would even try to poke a bit too much fun at the waifufags but here they're celebratedb-based smitten CHADS
>Kissing the Princess>Dancing with the PrincessChoose one.
>>692812994Bretty good, but my favorite is still Totono
Why isn't it updating?
>>692813615Dancing is a more elegant expression of our devotion.
>>692813638You have to buy the game first
>>692813615I choose "Slaying the Princess".
>>692813615You forgot laying in the grass with the Princess and looking at the stars.

fuck
>>692813970I care because I am a petty little bitch
I don't have time to completely investigate right now, but a question about the endings.If you get her back in the cabin and have her reset everything, does that start you on a fresh 5 Princesses or will there be a special thing/achievement for that next run?
>>692813970mate
>>692814105You just get the eternal happiness ending that the narrator made for you, with the exception of the princess being with you this time.
>>692814105it's just an ending. As soon as you make a choice it rolls to credits and you get the achievement
>>692812994Honestly it feels too different to easily compare. StP is obviously a VN, but it's so structurally outside the norm that it's set apart from its peers: like a pop song that chose not to be verse-chorus form. Definitely a classic, tho, and it's been ruining other games for me when I'm wondering why characters have fuck all to say during a scene or don't react coherently towards me floating hypotheticals
3/5 red textI get that stabbing Adversarial Fury in the heart might not really qualify as an act of spite, but how is stabbing Gentle Dragon not considered a form of betrayal at least?>>692813903How did you get Broken into Cage?
>Wait, am I a dragon?>Hell yeah!
>>692814332Aren't dragons the natural enemy of princesses?
>>692814105"Canonically" you just keep replaying from the very beginning etwrnally until TLQ does one of the other endings.
>>692814306Let Skeptic be the one to kill you after leaving the head in the basement.If you use the knife on yourself, you get Paranoid.If you decided you liked the Narrator's reward, you get Cheated.If you give the knife to Skeptic, you get Broken.

>>692814352It's a matter of perspective
>>692814435Begone, consolewar faggot
>>692814492Anyone can kiss, two people in a drunken stupor and kiss each other with all the grace of a fish on the beach. It takes two people, who knows each other so intimately as to orchestrate the delicate tug and push with another to produce the elegant dance of two lovers.
>Get away from me, you cold little freak!What a weird tonal shift compared to her dialogue before and after that. Also,>is forgiving of you tricking and stabbing her twiceSpectre...
Skeptic, please, you don't get to do this after you spent the entire route up your own ass.
If you stab the damsel at the end of it all, once hero takes you away to the cabin. The audio actually says "I think this is for the BUST" Despite the fact that the text clearly says " I think this for the best". This is in reference to the damsel having big breasts, and the typo is because no playtesters actually killed the damsel in this ending so no one caught the typo.
>Damsel chapter 3Damn, I should have saved it for last.
where is the gallery even
>>692814813after the credits
Genuinely baffles me how the same two people that made the shit heap that is Scarlet Hollow also made this.
surprised no one has done Kiryu edits with the dragon route yet
>>692814853I have actually heard good thing about Scarlet Hollows, from here in the previous threads as well as /vrpg/ in the rare times it is brought up. The only reason I haven't played it is because I am waiting for the full game to come out.
>>692795050take your shit """""game"""" to /trash/
everyone should get the DLC because there are some great wallpapers there
>>692814853>shit heapyou didnt even HECKING play it
>>692814940This. These shitty threads are taking up valuable space for twitter screencap threads.
>>692814924>>692814957The art and characters just filter me way too fucking hard, man. It's almost like the antithesis to StP.
>>692809621Sureeely you share that link. I've checks a few threads and haven't found one.
>>692814941Hot damn. I was debating whether or not to get it since I've already bought three copies of the game but I might as well.
For a split second, I saw the name Todd Howard as being the creator of this game.
>>692814941but it's seven bucks, ten if it wasn't on sale. Seems a bit rich for wallpapers.
has anyone ever played this with a girl?
>>692815287Of could I have, we all have! The princess is right there!
>>692815106HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>692815287I don't do anything with a girl
>>692815287Yeah, she even got me one of the achievements I had missed.
>>692815287whats the point if you dont have a princess gf irl to play with
>>692815287I played this with my gf. She absolutely loved it. Said Adversary and Razor are her favourite. She then replayed it by herself and said she quite like the Grays.
>>692795050I LIKE HOW HER BOOBS GET BIGGER IF YOU SAVE HER.WOMEN SHOULD WORK THAT WAY IRL.

>>692815770Is this the most detailed we've seen Quiet's face canoncially portrayed?
>>692815814Yes, it looks to be another mark towards the retractable beak theory. That or it destroyed when Spector tore herself out of our body, since our vocal cords are also destroyed.
>>692815778>Finally start to marry and reproducethat's not how that fucking works and you know itguys don't play this game and then suddenly get gfs and wives and kidsthey play this game and it cuts them so fucking deep and then they do nothing else with their life
>>692801576remember, whatever happens, this is a love storyalso I feel cheated cause the chapter that should of given us more smitten voice lines proceeds to just... remove him from us
>>692815778Artificial wombs are going to solve that problem. Won't be long until the state produces a kid and mandates that a selected citizen raises it till adulthood.
>>692815814Probably, but I can't tell if those white markings about where his mouth's supposed to be is his beak or not
>>692815287I gifted it to my girlfriend and honestly she's way more into it than me.I haven't even played half the routes myself, I just watched her so it while sitting on my lap
>>692812994Best VN of the 2020s. Just like Katawa Shoujo was the best VN of the 2010s.
>>692815928The beak might just be conveniently behind those well placed feathers. I don't think the devs ever want to give us a conclusive answer on this. Or it could simply be that our beak is more akin to an owls, so it doesn't protrude like a corvid.
>>692815943>gf sits in lap while playing StP>she feels you pop a boner when Eye of the Needle comes up

this just another waifufag game?
i pirated the game so i can't play the new routes. are they good?even if not at least they brought StP threads back. love me ghost wife
>>692816121Nah
>>692816149they're super ultra omega good.
>>692816149Well naturally they are good, they are made by the same people who made the kino the first go around. Buy the game when you are able.

>>692816121It's a love story. Make of that what you will.

>>692816149If you love your ghost wife you're going to LOVE the update.
>>692816154that pic's all I need to know about this game, fag.
>>692816262NTA but in a similar boat. Good, ghost wife is best wife and it's not even close. I could listen to her call me killer all day.
>>692816262i heard her new route requires you to kill her though. i can't be mean to her.
I was not prepared. I kneel John Tabby
>>692816320Then you won't be able to experience her to her fullest, a shame that you restrict yourself so when you have an infinite tide of possibilities in front of you to choose from.
>>692816314>spectre canonically thinks cold is creepy and weirdits over.

>>692816545>depiction>just food and a game and sitting together in silence, the slightest fraction of what the world has to offerPrincesstards are coping hard I see.
>>692816476Yeah, otherwise it feels a little disillusioning to go from that straight to another violent route.
Damsel 3 is a bit off, tonally. In a game where you can get into a sort of neverending, psychosexual battle with the princess or get sliced or spooled until you deny your own existence, the game's decided refutation of infinity and dedicated "torture the princess" route being the one where Smitten pressures her into playing 'house' with you, complete with delicious food and board games, just seems tone-deaf.
>mindbreaking Narrator by forcing him to observe the most boring game of monopoly for eternityKINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>692816615>food and games>vs>watching paint dryYeah, I guess it was a better version of what he has to offer.
>>692816664It fits perfectly with the tone though. It's just another form of torture for you and the princess. It's another obstacle for you both to overcome and expose each other's true selves.
>>692816476What did you think of Apotheosis? I think it was the least favorite addition for me
I am REALLY loving our depiction as this mass of feathers, our overwhelming size and heft and just odd changing body in the Spector route. It's just so interesting to see ourselves from the eyes of someone outside of us. Never realized we always thumped down the stairs either, I figured we would have been more graceful. But that makes sense since the princess did hear us every single time we came on down.
SO glad they prioritized the correct stuff instead of just pandering to the fans of the 2-3 most popular princesses.Now all routes feel complete and getting the in a first playthrough wouldn't feel underwhelming.
>>692816762I suppose it's enough for that path to not feel stunted if you're doing it for the first time
>>692816774>she fell in love with THISWhat is wrong with her?
>>692816774It also proves the princess is just like us.A certified monster fucker.
>>692816749What kind of torture is that? I can understand it being undesirable, but I don't think two immature people getting bored of life together after three meals of decreasing quality and 3 rounds of Jengarummy & Ladders really demonstrates anything. It didn't capture the lesson.
>>692816774>Never realized we always thumped down the stairs either, I figured we would have been more graceful.The game misleads you by using lighter footstep sfx.
>>692816868What do you mean? We look great!
>>692816868She's just as much of an eldritch monstrosity as he is, why wouldn't she
>>692816868It's the inside that countsEspecially when those insides turn into outsides
I'm still perplexed by how fucking good Happily Ever After is.I wonder what did Tony think when writing it. Sadly it left wishing for more of voices getting personified(birdified??) in other routes :/
>>692816868No other person to compare against
>>692816615>Watching someone fail to convince themselves that they're happy with this world, desperately wanting to cling to the fantasy of eternal, unchanging bliss, only to find that all earthly pleasures slowly begin to lose all satisfaction, even as the specter binding them to this fate continues to hold them there, whispering sweet nothings in their ear, claiming to care about them and only wanting them to be happy.
>>692817037>Narrator discovering that the NEET life is a shortcut to roping from despair
>>692817037>sits in a basement>does two (dos) things and then gets bored>"man immortality would suck!"the analogy doesnt work. they instead should be placed in a vast universe with near infinite things to do and explore, and then they can harp on about how boring it all is when they've done it all across quadrillions of years
I really wish we could have ripped into the opportunist once we got back into our body after convincing the princess not to stab us of course, wouldn't have much time to do so otherwise.
>>692816886It demonstrates that the simple worldly pleasures of life lose all meaning when you're trapped in an unending, unchanging existence. The Narrator is doing all this from the perspective of a mortal, someone who's entire world and reason for living is defined by those earthly pleasures; sharing a meal, playing games, etc. So seeing those dissolve hit too close to home and made him finally see the error of his ways. The other infinite loops of constantly killing each other are completely outside what the Narrator can relate to he's just watching two gods abuse their reality bending immortality to indulge their psychosexual conflict with each other, hence why they don't break him like HEA does.
>>692817257Smitten putting a mirror on him must have had a big effect
>>692817341>two gods abuse their reality bending immortality to indulge their psychosexual conflict with each otherI'm fully erect.
>>692817296Watching tsundere Spectre deck him in the face and then get shit-talked by Cold was good enough imo
>>692816868>she's able to beat THIS to death with her bare hands>she's able to make THIS cower in fear of her
>the birdcage Caged's head was in wasn't even lockeddas deep mane
>>692817469A simple "You sure were eager to kill me back there" or something would have been nice at the very least. I just want to make him sweat just a little bit more. Glad to know Hero had our back. Cold ALSO had our back, since they only had a plurality and I think we know which way the narrator voted. Though I think Cold changed it at the last moment just to see something happen. Fickle little fuck.
>>692817341>It demonstrates that the simple worldly pleasures of life lose all meaning when you're trapped in an unending, unchanging existence. The Narrator is doing all this from the perspective of a mortal, someone who's entire world and reason for living is defined by those earthly pleasures; sharing a meal, playing games, etc.That's a borderline straw argument. He wanted existence to continue out of a desperate belief that all would at least be better than nonexistence. I don't think such a man would be persuaded by seeing the representation of change itself lose the ability to make convincing meals or have fun playing board games.
>>692817571Cold 100% voted to kill us. He wanted something to happen like always
>>692817617Yeah, that indecision at the end right before we got stabbed was the moment I think cold changed his vote. Making it a majority
>>692817608He genuinely believed that happiness could never lose all meaning, even after words and the concept of time itself lost all meaning. He broke when he saw that happiness could, in fact, lose all meaning.
>>692816762see >>692812594
>Massive update that changes many routes and details in the game>Still can't declare yourself a proud monarchistDamn...
fucking helli'm gonna have to finish that playthrough now
>>692817939Nah, just wait a few more months so you can enjoy it without the thread spoiling it for you.
>>692809060Which chapters, for the record?
I don't get Opportunist hate, his gambit to release you from Princess worked. If he actually wanted to kill you from beginning, he would have started with killing blow
>>692818040You believed him when he said it was a gambit? When you were gone and the power vacuum you left behind was ride open for him to move into he took it. If he killed you then that was one rival he wouldn't have to worry about. He also took a whole lot of glee in doing so, there is no way that was just for show.
>stabbing Thorn doesn't count for the the new ending>she was my first route of the runwelp, time to stop, get some rest and try again in the morning
>>692818113Just to keep Narrator happy, he was pretty chill on freedom path and that is my canon
>>692818212>Convictions change just to match whoever he's trying to suck up toThat's Opportunist alright
>>692818212It's in the name, man. He's an opportunist. He's fine with anything so long as he doesn't suffer for it.
>>692816868She is a white women. Are you really suprised?
>>692816953Long Quiet looks positively demonic here
>>692818385>He's fine with anything so long as he doesn't suffer for it.He did also say we wouldn't try to stab the princess if he thought it would be easy. To be fair from what Cold and Hero told him on the way over, about how we already killed her twice pretty easily. He probably thought it would be a piece of cake.You know, I wonder what the conversation was like on the path in the woods. I can't imagine Hero was taking our departure well.
>>692818463Is it the two faces that does it or the opportunists wicked grin that does it for you
>>692809335>tfw haven't seen every princess so I can still gain new perspectives
>>692818547The grin. Opportunist is taking a bit too much pleasure in stabbing the Princess and (You)...
I just fuck a bug, if when up against the fury and the contrarian threw the blade out the window. If you refuse to fight her, then you drop the blade that you don't have.
>>692818638I wonder which he is enjoying more. The killing of the princess who he has never met before, or the killing of (you). My bet is on (you), because of what you represent in the headspace.
>>692818641>I just fuck a bugBro, this thread is for Slay the Princess.
>>692818669But he has met the Princess, he's the You that tried to kill yourself to try and kill the Princess.
>>692818884(during Spectre)
>>692818727bug princess whenstranger was originally going to be full of spiders but that got dropped once she stopped being a muppet.
>>692818641Stubborn can manifest weapons at will just so he can discard them and flex.
>>692814803Saving this for last and having that moment with the narrator was pure kino.
>>692815287>he thinks girls are real
>>692795719Razor was a wholly exhausted idea being one of the only paths to get a 4th chapter.
so what exactly is smitten talking about when he says "my passions have titanic depths and I will end our life in an instant if you try anything"i don't have the blade, how is he gonna kill us
>>692810003It gets my every time brosPlease don't leave me again princess
Everything goes dark, and you die.
>Page tenThe hands are closing in fellas, better make your peace now. Oblivion awaits us
>>692819503Path to Happily Ever After proves he isn't bluffing.
>>692819532You left her man, all you had to do was open the application. Pretty sure the shifting mound even says this when you try to wait with her.
>>692805623>the Greys now for being the only 'lol you lose' chapters leftI like that there's two different variations, made it less obvious that damsel and prisoner didn't get unique third chapters before
Everything goes dark, and the thread dies.
I don't like this cold Anons...
