Following on from the big free The Pristine Cut upgrade, Slay the Princess from Black Tabby Games continues to do really well.
Probably one of the best modern visual novels around with its mixture of great writing and lovely artwork. You can read some thoughts from a contributor on The Pristine Cut in a previous GamingOnLinux article.
In an announcement the developer mentioned: "We're beyond thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess has sold over 500,000 copies globally across PC, Mac, Linux, and consoles! It's been one of the greatest experiences of our lives watching so many of you connect with this passion project, and every step of the way you've helped our work exceed even our wildest expectations."
Features:
- Fully voice-acted by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.
- Hand-penciled art - every background and sprite is drawn traditionally with pencil and paper by Ignatz-winning graphic novelist Abby Howard.
- A princess. She's very bad and you have to get rid of her for all our sakes.
- No, the Princess isn't a “cosmic horror,” whatever that is supposed to mean. She's just an ordinary human Princess, and you can definitely slay her as long as you put your mind to it.
- Don't even think about trying to romance her. It won't end well for you.
- Hopefully you won't die. But if you do, you'll die a lot. Be careful and stay focused on the task at hand!
- A branching narrative where what you say and what you believe determines both who you are and how the story unfolds. Though I wouldn’t recommend taking any paths outside of the one I lay before you.
- A new roleplaying experience from the creators of Scarlet Hollow.

Great to see games of all kinds managing to actually sell. In the announcement the developer also mentioned their other game, Scarlet Hollow, will get an update for the first four episodes early next year and then episode five will release later in 2025.
