Slay the Princess is a 2023 horror adventure game developed and published by Black Tabby Games for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS systems.[2] It was released on October 23, 2023. The game is conceptually a twist on the damsel-in-distress archetype; rather than saving the princess, the objective is to kill her.

An expanded version, subtitled The Pristine Cut, is scheduled to be released in Fall 2024 for consoles, alongside a free update for existing versions of the game. The console ports are published by Serenity Forge.

Slay the Princess received critical acclaim for its narrative, art, music, and voice performances.
