Difference between revisions of "Slay the Princess"

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Created initial page.)
 
(As per PCGamingWiki:Taxonomy: "For visual novels, use the separate Visual novel genre instead." Besides, I don't think it really fits into that genre. It does have some elements of it, though, which is why "Romance" should be kept in the themes row.)
