HTML The Princess Trap [v0.5.1] [Natnatnat]

[Axismundi]

I think it's fair to say that the queen and princess are completely dysfunctional, with the only nice one being the king. Mostly understandable (wouldn't call it forgivable though) considering the life the queen probably led before she married the king. The queen's side of the family seemed to be both paranoid and vindictive.

The queen probably wanted to make sure her daughter was competent enough to handle the political minefield she was going to inherit, but the methods she's using are the reason the princess is so messed up. The queen was probably physically and mentally abusive to the princess from the moment the princess could walk. And while it probably came from a place of love, it started a cycle of abuse that the princess passes on to others, like Colette (who then passes it on to you) and anybody else she can boss around. The queen is definitely nicer to you since you're technically supposed to be a temporary solution and she believes she doesn't have to get as "rough" with you (yet).

Both the queen and the princess are going to have to fix their relationship if the MC is going to get out of this mess.

Or they could get knifed. That'd work.


I'm just saying there are options.

 

[ffive]

There's probably other options which aren't immediately apparent, too.

Like, i'm curious if there's any connection between Firmin Goux, the crazy alchemist dude potentially asking the MC to deliver one of his potions to someone in the royal convoy at the start of the game, and the queen apparently starting to lose her voluptuous shape few days after that guy got murdered by Robiers.

The best solution is clearly for the MC to be such a good girl that the Queen becomes her new Mommy and forgets about that ungrateful criminal altogether.

Sure, but the beautiful thing about knifing as a problem-solving strategy is that even if it results in new complications, those can usually be resolved by further, more vigorous knifings. It's a One-Step Plan to Success.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

This is the plan i am currently going with, yes.

Same... and even if one does kill the Queen, I believe she would still judge your actions in the afterlife.

wait really?

wait really?

It's low-key mentioned around the end of Day 8: Simone is suddenly called to the Queen, and when she returns few hours later you get this little scene:

Goux is killed on day 5 or so, shortly after his stray chimera attacked for the second time.

(alternatively, maybe we're about to get a bunch of Queen's hand-me-downs. But i'd imagine the differences in shape would require more than just small adjustments)

Guess the mc will just have to gain some curves to fit the hand me downs.

How's the game coming along? any updates?

How's the game coming along? any updates?

A somewhat-slow pace for this update so far - things keep on getting in the way - but a release is getting close to being ready. Perhaps releasing on SubscribeStar in the next week or so? (though I just had another surgery (a smaller one than last time, at least), so it'll depend on how difficult the recovery is)
It'll be a smaller update than usual. I'm trying out releasing each "day" in sections, rather than as one big update, as they were getting pretty unwieldy.
Lots of art commissions got finished in this period, so I'm super excited for everyone to see them ^_^

I just discovered this game and I love this so much
(Especially Colette, I hope she gets more content)
