About Sifu:

A beat ’em-up the tale of vengeance, Sifu places players in the shoes of a young Pak Mei Kung-Fu student who, following the murder of their master, embarks on an epic quest for revenge. Fuelled by years of training that have turned them into an unstoppable force, players will hunt down the terrifying warriors who slaughtered their master years ago, as well as the countless goons guarding them. But revenge comes at a price, exacted through defeat and the power of a mystical talisman. With every failure, players will rise again, older and wiser, though with fewer years to spare than before. What is vengeance worth to you?

Following its debut on PlayStation consoles and PC in February 2022, Sifu was hailed as one of last year’s best action / beat ’em up titles, surpassing more than one million copies sold in its first three weeks and garnering critical acclaim. Sloclap’s support of Sifu has been extensive, with numerous updates having launched throughout 2022 and 2023 that added difficulty modes, a long list of exciting gameplay modifiers, new outfits, and more.

Watch the final trailer for El Paso, Elsewhere here:

Shown in today’s trailer, protagonist James Savage comes upon a sudden and horrifying realization; this twisted place doesn’t feel like a burial ground. Amongst the flood of violence, Savage isn’t just thriving—he feels good. Free to succumb to his addictions, and the pursuit of one final good act before the end of the world. More carnage awaits in the twisting halls of this dimension-shifting hell, all leading to a cataclysmic confrontation with Savage’s ex-girlfriend and the lord of the vampires, Draculae.

On this path towards oblivion, Savage hunts the monsters protecting Draculae, who seeks to perform a ritual that will end the world as we know it and place it under her reign. Armed with shotguns, pistols, uzis, stakes and more, the only choice players have is to keep moving forward, one slow-motion dive after another, to preserve reality itself. Delve through more than 40 floors of heart-pumping action, all to the beat of a hip-hop horror soundtrack featuring vocals from Xalavier Nelson Jr. himself.

Features: 

• Badass bullet time mechanics that let Savage weave between enemies while filling them with holes.
• A meaningful collection of weapons; tear through Draculae’s army with a shotgun, an uzi, a hunting rifle, pistols and more.
• Battle through a wide variety of horrific creatures, from werewolves and vampires to damned brides and biblically accurate angels.
• Environments filled with interactive objects – shoot ‘em up to get a better vantage point or snap a wooden table in half to resupply your stakes.

“Please don’t.” – Princess

TORONTO, CANADA – Sept. 6, 2023 – Slay the Princess, the fully-voiced surreal horror visual novel developed by Black Tabby Games (Scarlet Hollow), tempts fate, fortune, and feelings Friday, October 20, 2023 on Steam for PC, Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck, as revealed today at Fear Fest.

“The more I tell you about her, the more difficult your task is going to be. The Princess poses an existential threat to the entire world, and she will do and say whatever it takes to get out of that cabin. So focus up, stop asking so many questions, and slay her before it’s too late.”

Does this mysterious narrator (voiced by Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives) speak true? Mysteries lurk between his words, and he’s definitely not divulging the whole story. Walk into the cabin, pick up the blade, and decide the truth for yourself. Or don’t even go to the cabin! Maybe say “to heck with this” and just leave. No matter how it ends, somehow you keep finding yourself outside the same cabin, with the same command… but the princess (voiced by Nichole Goodnight), she’s not the same as she was the last time…right?

Facilitate fate in an evolving drama drenched in monochromatic hand-penciled art from Ignatz-winning graphic novelist Abby Howard (The Crossroads at Midnight, The Last Halloween). Experience déjà vu like never before in a branching meta-narrative that unfolds its story in warped, hilarious, and unpredictable ways. Slay or be slain (or find a third option?) as each loop contorts to reflect each decision, forming a story with new twists and turns each playthrough. Begin the quest anew, joined by new personalities attempting to guide your actions.

Endure the princess’ attempts at escaping her shackles. Hold fast in the face of her emotional manipulation…unless she’s telling the truth? Maybe she is a monster, maybe she did kill you that one time…or a few times, actually, but how does the narrator know this will save the world? What even is this world and what power does the narrator hold over it? Question everything. Or don’t. Just slay the princess and everything will be fiiiine. Probably.

“It starts out simple,” says Tony Howard-Arias, Lead Writer at Black Tabby Games. “And, ultimately, it stays simple — the premise never changes. You’re here to slay the Princess, and you need to slay her to save the entire world. But trust is a fragile thing, and the context around the goal changes dramatically the more decisions you make and the more you develop your relationship with the characters and the world. We’re really excited to see how everyone navigates these surreal gray waters.”

Slay the Princess launches on PC, Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck Friday, October 20, 2023 on Steam for $17.99 with a 10% launch discount, and bundled discount with Black Tabby Games’ Early Access title Scarlet Hollow. For more information on Slay the Princess, check out the official website, follow developer Black Tabby Games on Twitter and Tumblr, and join the official Discord and Reddit.
