#i'd actually gotten her via giving up during a fight (i was trying to avoid hurting her)

I've been thinking about the debate about whether Slay the Princess is a horror game (my answer is "yes") and about how imo Fury is one of the more thematically horrifying routes.

While I was never really scared of her during my playthrough, her whole existence became more upsetting the more I thought about it. I think Fury's route is one of the only times the game fully realizes the horror potential in us (the player) being able to somewhat control the Princess through our perception of her. Whether you got to Fury via Adversary or Tower, it's clear that Fury liked the way she was before, and we took her identity away from her either because we thought it was funny, or because we didn't like how she was.

I doubt everyone's going to have the same interpretation of her chapter (my Fury is going to be different from your Fury, after all) but for me, the whole route made me question my feelings towards Tower, who was originally one of my least favorite princesses. What right did I have to do this to her, just because I didn't like how she was acting? I've turned her into something she hates.
