Beast and Princess

About

Beast and Princess is a visual novel following a royal girl trapped in a tower by her own family. Set in a kingdom where humans and creatures coexist, the story centers on a princess raised in isolation by a stepmother’s machinations. Her only comfort comes from crafting and loyal animal companions, until a violent coup forces her into the wilderness. Armed with a cryptic book and enchanted powder from her mother, she navigates survival, betrayal, and the truth behind her exile. The narrative blends fairy tale whimsy with dark twists, driven by atmospheric artwork and branching choices that shape her fate. Otomate’s signature style shines here, balancing lush animation with a gripping, morally complex plot. Originally released in Japan as Moujuu-tachi to Ohime-sama, it retains its emotional weight through localized dialogue and refined character designs. With over 20 hours of story across multiple endings, the game stands out for its pacing and unexpected moments of humor amid tragedy. Available on mobile and Vita, it’s a self-contained adventure from Idea Factory that avoids the dating sim trappings common to the genre. The mix of folklore and family drama resonates, even if the princess’s resourcefulness sometimes strains believability.
