I Played The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince and it was VERY VERY VERY VERY CUTE

Today I came to talk about an extremely good game that I recently played! It is called The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince and it was released on March 11 this year on Steam, although it has been available on consoles for much longer.

First of all, to make a few things clear, I received the game from the publisher and played the Steam version. Below are my stats in the game:

What is the game about? I will try not to give too many spoilers, but here’s the thing: when the story begins, the princess is not a liar and the prince is not blind.

In the game itself, you control the princess—you do not control the prince (at least not directly). The goal of the game is for you, as the princess, to guide the blind prince to a witch who lives in the center of the forest, where she can restore his sight.

In the game, the princess can jump, run, and walk, and you can transform into a giant wolf to jump even higher. In this form, you can fight and defeat the enemies you encounter along the way, although I should mention that it is not always necessary to kill enemies in the stages.

But what about the prince? You control him indirectly. Basically, the princess can hold his hand, and then you walk together. At certain moments, you can tell him to stay in one place or make him move by calling him toward you (since he is blind)

Hand in hand!

The game is short but cute, it has few stages and every 4 or 5 stages belong to a different area, so there is some change of scenery even though the game takes place in a forest.

One thing I really loved about this game is that its story is very “grounded,” meaning that something is established at the beginning and the characters do not stray from what was presented.

I especially loved the ending because it didn’t try to invent something beyond what the game had already established. I really liked this ending, completely different from a game I will talk about tomorrow, where the beginning and middle are very good but then in the end they invent a lot of things and characters suddenly start forgiving killers just for the sake of romance and I was like…?

The story of The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is very beautiful. It is a story I want more people to experience. The game is short—if you decide to buy and play it, you can finish it in an afternoon. It took me 5 hours and 11 minutes until the credits.

And as you can see, I only needed 10 more achievements to reach 100%. I checked them all and it doesn’t seem difficult. I think the most complicated ones are finishing some stages within a certain time, because the difficulty is guiding the blind prince. Otherwise, the rest of the achievements seem pretty easy.

And I didn’t even talk about the game’s art, right? The game is Japanese and I played it with Japanese audio. The characters are not voiced in the traditional sense; what we have is a single voice throughout the entire game—a narrator who describes the story and also voices all the characters, which makes the game even cuter in my opinion.

The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince costs 60 BRL on Steam, but it has already been on sale for 40 BRL. I highly recommend buying it when it goes on sale again. It’s a beautiful story, it’s short, there is no boring part, and the characters do not stray from who they are (unlike tomorrow’s game).
