You are on a road in the woods and at the end of that road is a cabin. The Prince is in the basement of that cabin.
You are here to kill him. If you don't, the world will end. He will do everything in his power to stop you. He will charm and lie and promise you the world and kill you a dozen times over if you let him. You can't let that happen.
You care about the fate of the world, don't you?
From the creators Scarlet Hollow, Kill the prince offers a horror experience where the player's choice has drastic consequences. You will die a lot in this game. And every time you die, the game starts again, only everything is a little different: the cabin, the princess, even the voices in your head. What you choose to believe and act on those beliefs has the power to turn the story in dramatic directions. When you next see the princess, will she be an ordinary princess or a 10-foot-tall demon? Regardless of which reality you find yourself in, each background and sprite is beautifully handcrafted by Ignatz award-winning artist Abby Howard, perfectly capturing the eerie atmosphere and shock of the surprising moments.
Originally released on Steam in October 2023, Kill the prince received very positive reviews. With new content coming to the game, returning players will have plenty to sink their teeth into, while new players will have the disturbing, tragicomic horror experience of a lifetime.
