I'm Making a Monster

I really loved and enjoyed this game. It is shorter than I anticipated, and I wish it was longer, but it is still a beautiful story. I appreciate how this game explores grief and how wallowing in grief can lead to self-neglect, and neglecting one's friends. I found this game to be very impactful especially for the short amount of time it took to complete it. Also very excited to see sheet music for the soundtrack! I often have to scrounge the internet for sheet music of my favorite video game songs or attempt to play by ear so having sheet music be available from the developers is appreciated.

A short but impactful story. Just the reminder I needed to spend time with friends and not be consumed by work. :')

This game hits home pretty hard and in more than one occasion I had the same thoughts as the protagonist. A bit short, 61min for the first playthrough, but for me totally worth it. THank you for making this ❤️‍🩹 💔 / 10 #foreveralone

It's a game about making a monster. You say, "I'm making a monster!" and mash all over the place. Everyone's trying to get you to not make the monster by hanging out with you. Hanging out with your friends is fun except Corey. I don't want to hang out with Corey. Corey Sucks.

This game is a truly beautiful experience. I loved all of the writing, the score, and the art, and found that they weave together perfectly to evoke a lot of emotion in very a short time. Having played the demo, I really didn't think I would cry but.... Unsurprisingly, this has made me very fond of the story and characters and excited to replay and see all of the different paths and interactions. I Love it!

Despite the game being short, it involves you in the Protagonist's story and their sadness by using not only text, but great art and music. The game offers several pronoun options to truly immerse yourself. It shows how much the developers put their heart and soul into their work. Great game "There is too much missing from this picture for it to feel complete. But maybe this is what it feels to pour paint over an old canvas and create something new"

一部披着实验题材外衣的互动短篇，不是一款传统的怪物制造游戏。适合喜欢手绘风格、分支叙事和情感主题的玩家。游戏优点是主题明确，关于悲伤、心理健康、友谊与社区支持的表达很真诚；缺点是部分段落文字较多，叙事节奏偏慢，结尾有关殖民历史和酷儿群体的声明也比较直接，可能会让只想看剧情的玩家感到突兀。 游戏中朋友们一次次前来敲门，玩家要决定是接受帮助、继续封闭自己，还是把全部希望寄托在作品上。表面上是在组装怪物，实际讲的是失去/重要的人/之后，怎样用工作和执念逃避悲伤，玩到最后会发现怪物既是造物也是主角无法放下过去的象征。手绘美术很有特色，随着时间和心理状态变化的画面也很有感染力，尤其人物肖像。流程不长，但分支不少，不同结局对完成作品、放下逝者还是重新连接他人有不同的结局。

went in expecting to cry, my expectations were met.
