XBA says: There are no wrong decisions. There are only fresh perspectives. Do as you're told and slay her.

"Perhaps one of the most common narratives that is used in stories, whether they are books, video games, or even plays, tends to be about rescuing a princess. Either the princess has been kidnapped and is being held by an evil monster or perhaps never had freedom to begin with and it is up to the noble knight to rescue her. Throughout the countless iterations of this trope we’ve seen various twists, turns, role-reversals, and much more as a simple premise leaves plenty of room for variations, but few, if any, have handled in the way that Black Tabby Games did last year with the release of Slay the Princess. Now, with Slay the Princess - The Pristine Cut refining the cult classic and expanding on the visual novel with a slew of new content on consoles, is this unique take on a classic story a must play?"
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut is a game without peers and without comparison. It’s a visual novel for players who want to stay for a long time and hear, feel and grapple with a massive undertaking. It’s not nearly as long as some visual novels, but it has a tangibility and density that makes it a meal with every single interaction. There are so many variations to discover, so many lines of dialogue performed, but you won’t even know how many until you get your first “real” ending. Now finally on console, this is a game for everyone who enjoys an excellent story, and this is a tale that must be told again, and again, and again. Don’t worry if you don’t understand the first time around: the Princess has all the time in the world to educate you."
