I keep a list of indie games that I recommend to friends, coworkers, and people walking by on the street. Kill the princessBlack Tabby Games' time loop horror game ranks pretty high on this list. It was one of my favorite games Favorite games of 2023and even though he couldn't take a step forward Baldur's Gate 3 or Street Fighter 6 to take the top spot, it's easily the most story-compelling game I've played in the last year. Seeing it alongside other incredible indie games gives me a chance to not only champion it, but also my own. Favorite indie game of 2022in addition.

The $61.43 bundle also includes: modern classic deck builder Kill the Towerthat's what people who play this like to spread. But I'm here to shout Kill the princess And We are OFK.
Kill the princess is a visual novel that takes you through multiple loops of the same moment. You don't know anything about who you are or the world you're in, but you're told that you must enter a remote cabin and descend into the basement. When you arrive, you'll find a princess trapped in isolation there. According to the narrator, if she manages to escape this prison, she will bring about the end of the world. Deciding how to proceed will take you down one of several different paths, such as using a knife to end her life, talking to her, setting her free, or doing nothing. But no matter where you go, they all lead back to you walking back to the cabin and making a decision about what to do next. Kill the princess is all about the horror of the unknown. Over multiple cycles, you and the princess will come to understand each other, and each cycle will take you to shocking, fascinating places as it reveals new variations on the horrors you will inflict on each other.
At the other end of the spectrum; We are OFK Team OFK, an adventure game created by writers, designers, musicians and more, often feels more like an interactive musical television show than a video game. The experimental, episodic series is an introspective look at four friends trying to figure out who they are artistically while also trying to survive in corporate America. If you feel like capitalism has taken the fun out of art and made it harder to maintain personal relationships, We are OFK is the video game for you. I played it when things were going really bad at my last job and it really affected me.
All four games are worth your time, and I loved that someone used the word “slaughter” to group these four very different and unrelated games together, because that word can mean two very different things depending on who's saying it. Whether you want to kill something or serve a whore, there are some great games in this package that let you do both.
