Not quite your average princess Throughout a show like PAX East 2023, you’ll usually hear some variation of the “seen anything good” small-talk around the show floor. It’s a casual fallback, and sometimes you hear about something you’ve missed. Yet there was one phrase, around one game, that really dominated this year: “Have you seen Slay the Princess yet?” I went into the show already familiar with Black Tabby Games’ unique adventure game, as its trailer caught my eye a while back and its demo impressed in a recent…

She has not grown old as those who are left grew old: the “royal watchers”, the journalists, the charity workers, the prime ministers, the paparazzi, the ex-husband and the two sons, both now older than she was when she died.
