The Kidnapping (and other crimes) of Princess Pri

The general idea is that Pri is a princess who gets kidnapped all the damn time, no matter what she tries. She's also blamed for her abductions fairly often by her addled father and her exasperated bodyguard, Andra. It doesn't help that the king doesn't hire decent soldiers or that she doesn't get along well with her bodyguard who is overworked and often takes her frustrations out on Pri.

It turns out that after a dozen kidnappings, a princess simply must fight back. Even if it means fighting fire with fire. This is the story of Princess Pri (and the backstory to a life of crime).



The Kidnapping of Princess Pri is an exploration/adventure/escape game. Foil (and maybe carry out) a kidnapping by searching items, talking to characters, finding keys, and solving clues. Playtime under an hour and the whole thing is pretty light-hearted.

This game was made in a month for the Swap in the Middle with Two event, first half by Liberty, and the second half by psy_wombats. sorry Libs

Anyway it's short and fun and you should play it.




The titular princess who keeps getting kidnapped. She's sick and tired of this shit and well-over being blamed for getting into situations where her protection is less than optimal. She doesn't get along well with Andra, thinks her father is a bit of an idiot for never upgrading his defences, and hopes to one day take over the throne and run the country properly. First she needs to get it through to every kidnapper in the vicinity that she is not going to take this shit lying down and if she needs to twist a few arms to get the point across... well, she may be a practitioner of water magic but that doesn't mean she can't set shit aflame.


A prince of a nearby kingdom, albeit not quite as nice a kindgom as Pri's, and Capsri only stands to inherit any of it if his half dozen older brothers are taken out by acts of god. If he wants a throne of his own, he'll have to find a noble, propertied bride, but that's a bit difficult as he's more morose than chivalrous... and he thinks that rescuing Pri of all princesses is a path to her heart. She'd eat him for breakfast.


Pri's overworked body guard who was hired to protect the precious princess after her fourteenth birthday party ended in a kidnapping. Something about being of marriageable age (or near enough in some perverts' books) has made the kidnappers come out of the woodwork and since that day Andra has been working tirelessly to look after a willful and grumpy princess who doesn't seem to like her. With any luck, soon Pri will take the throne from her aging father and maybe Andra will be given a nice cushy job or something for dealing with this shit for so many years. God, she hopes so.


They have a tough job and deserve some credit, okay? Especially the chef.
