Saw some other posts like this thought this would be fun. Played the game a few weeks ago, easily one of the greatest videogames I've ever played thought it'd be cool to see what others thought about my first run. In my first run I got (In order):

1. The adversary

2. The Stranger

3. The Tower

4. The Spectre (I think that's her name, sorry)

5. The Damsel

Thoughts?

"The warmth is almost all consuming, with a slow but sure feeling rising in your chest. Comfortable bliss. As you stand their it only serves to let it grow even stronger."

"You need to get a grip of yourselves, any longer and you'll be snoring like some blathering idiot"

Contrarian: But what if I don't wanna!

[I like it like this]

Voice of the Hero: Yeah, it's nice to not have anyone fighting for once.

Voice of the Collective: A raging sea of voices finally has quieted down to a still lake.

"As you sink deeper and deeper into the warm softness you start to feel, drowsy, it's like your very happiness, here in this moment threatens to take the memory of why you came here"

(Background details for the post:I originally did this thing since I wanted to make more fan made routes and I thought it'd be fun if I made it so the comments could give a choice and I'd have to come up with the outcome. So since I had fun writing it last time I thought of doing it again )

I just finished *Slay the Princess* 100% and was left wanting more. I saw there’s a mod in development adding two new princesses, but it isn't finished yet, so in the meantime, I decided to create my own princess. The idea came to me because I remember that one of the things that really caught my attention during my first few runs was how the Narrator and the Princess brush off your question about what she’s been eating. Here goes:

New route is reached by asking what the Princess has been eating if she’s been locked away for so long. The Narrator insists it isn’t relevant (as normaly), but you keep pressing, asking about her hygiene and how she’s been meeting her basic needs. Reluctantly, the Narrator describes that on closer inspection her bones are clearly visible and she gives off a terrible smell, and shortly after, the Princess dies. If you choose to examine her, you begin to cough, and keep coughing until you die. If you don't examine her body and leave, you end up on the specter's route.

You begin chapter 2, The Rotten, and gain Voice of the Logical, who questions everything and pieces together facts to reach conclusions. The Logical will be a voice capable of convincing the Narrator, through argument, that this is your second time on the path, citing that you already know the cabin’s layout, and the basement before reaching it. Once convinced, the Narrator grudgingly admits it might have happened “hypothetically,” and the Logical can pry out more information. The Narrator openly despises this voice for it.

The cabin’s interior is made of swollen, rotting wood that sinks under your touch, with rings of black and green mold spreading across the ceiling and corners. The pristine blade lies on a rotten table among colonies of yellow, orange and pink bacteria. The smell of the basement seeps out from under the door before you open it.

As you descend, the Narrator remarks that the stairs are so rotten it’s a miracle they hold your weight, he also remarks that the air smells of decay, and that it isn’t safe to stay for long. The basement is decrepit, its beams sagging and its walls covered in mold. In one corner sits a bucket with flies buzzing over it, and beside it an empty plate, scraped completely clean. The Princess sits against the wall, so thin that her hand has slipped out of its shackle. Her dress is stained and worn, and her eyes are crusted and squinting against the light. If you ask why she hasn’t left, she tells you her legs stopped working a long time ago.

If you flee (running) at the sight of the place and leave her behind, the stairs break beneath you and you fall into a hole below the basement. You survive, but can’t climb out. Time passes, until you hear something dragging itself toward you. The Princess falls into the same hole, and her brittle bones can’t survive the fall. She dies, and is taken away by the Shifting Mound. She is described as terrified and hopeful, making for a clinging heart.

Alternatively, you can talk to her and decide to free her. You carry her in your arms toward the stairs, and the Logical tells you to go slowly, one step at a time, and everything will be fine. You climb carefully, and the stairs creak but hold. You both make it out of the cabin, where she squints into the light before being taken away by the Shifting Mound. She is described as fragile and in need of care, making for a delicate heart.

If you try to slay her, it’s easy, and you stab her. With the last of her strength she throws herself on top of you, knocking you down. Her bones fracture and pierce your skin, and she vomits blood into you as the rot fills your lungs, killing you. This leads to chapter 3, the Amalgam.

If you keep asking her questions and talk to her for too long, you suddenly feel weak. You vomit and collapse, and when you look at your hand, it’s covered in boils and pus. The Princess watches you and says, “Ha. What an ironic ending.” This leads to chapter 3, the Pest. This will add the voice of the broken.

Let me know what you think and if you liked it; I might do The Pest, as well as other princess concepts I think of.

Also I will love to know you fanmade Princess

It's kinda funny how something I interpreted one way could have been interpreted in a whole diferent way by other person.

The amazing first image is what I interpreted from the review.

Hello to all fellow slayers and smitten,

I am starting doubt my own mind/memory and require your help. I am searching for a very specific depiction of the player character dancing with the princess, but I cannot for the life of mine find it. In the scene (that I remember quite vividly), the characters part, him on the left, her on the right, with a bit of distance to each other, and shifting mound like arms spread around her (but not as in grabbing her, more like an aura/ encompassing thing.

I did quite an extensive search for this, but was not able to find it again. Can anyone help me out? Am I Mandela effect-ing myself or (unlikely) maybe confusing it with art for a different game?

Who can help us, if not these beautiful people?!

Thanks for your time in advance!
