Today we're deep diving into the meaning of Slay the Princess and answering the biggest questions, and with the help of the creators! Tony Howard-Arias, Abby Howard, and Brandon Boone weigh in with their outlook on certain aspects of the game. Detective Vanston is on the case to solve how the narrator split life and death, why the narrator can't see the mirrors, why there's an extra shackle in the cabin, and how the game examines life, death, and meaning through the lens of philosophy and religion, particularly Daoism!
