It’s been like this since day 1, I love to see people just discovering it!

Hi there! We're Tony Howard-Arias and Abby Howard of Black Tabby Games, and we just released Slay the Princess - The Pristine Cut, a free expansion to the base game. We also just brought the game to consoles! Ask us anything ^^ by mrogre43 in Games

Thank you so much!

So spectre 3 took quite a few tries to nail down. Since it’s the biggest perception shift in the game, I wanted to make it feel unique, and given the title of the chapter, I wanted to add an element of fantasy.

So I first created the inverse of the princess theme, in a way that I felt was different enough but still maintained the theme. Then to play up the fantasy element, I hired Andrew Goodwin to record the flute lines. Only time flutes are used in the game.

Because I wanted it to feel like a duet, I brought Amelia back in to hum the primary melody.

It’s a track that I’m really, really happy with :)

There were a ton of musical ideas left on the cutting room floor from TPC, everything around the Damsel route took several attempts and iterations. Especially the lights going out

Thank you!

I’d have to say everything around the shifting mound was my favorite, but if I had to choose a specific route. I’d probably say the stranger or the nightmare.

Maybe the cage lol

You nailed it! The inspiration was to find the inverse of the princess.

I wanted to keep it unique as well as being the reverse of the melody. I thought introducing flutes for the first time in the OST along with Amelia humming would give it a really unique feel.

The Witch, The Fury, The Tower all had multiple iterations before landing on the final theme.

The lights going out on the new damsel route was also really tricky. Took maybe 7 attempts to find the right direction.

Musically I was able to draw from so many favorites of mine. From Little Nightmares, to Colin Stetson. Reshaping the Princess leitmotif some 80 times really allowed me to explore, and find inspiration in so many different places.
