I'm Making a Monster

omg, I'm not crying, you are. More seriously. This is very beautiful. Moving. The art, the narration, the characters. I'm emotional now It's short tho. But it doesn't need to be long.

The art, music, and character writing of this game are fantastic. I want to give the devs their flowers for that. That alone made me choose to replay multiple times. It's also why I chose not to seek a refund for this game. However. The ending leaves much to be desired. You can play the entire game one way, but a single choice at the end throws all of that away. It took away from the rest of the game, and for what? It just felt bad. I'm sure the devs felt secure in the thematic points they were making, but for it all to boil down to a single choice made the rest of it feel like a waste of time.

I really wish there was a neutral option for a review, because I would use it here. I had my hopes up for this game, adoring the art and idea behind it, but everything just fell flat. The illusion of choice made me really frustrated, and the lack of visuals was disappointing. I support the team and the good cause of the game, but the game itself was not up to my standards.

What whimsical despair. This story is short but it truly packs an emotional punch. The art is beautiful and the music too. I am excited to replay a few times making different decisions, especially to unlock more details about the protagonist. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend!

[[PLAY THE PROLOGUE (demo) FIRST, IT GIVES MORE CONTEXT]] Enjoyed the story a lot. It's bittersweet in just the right way. I've lived and am living with different types of grief throughout my life. The way grief shown in this game resonates with me deeply. And the way the friends of main character are written fills my heart with hope and joy. Folks who made it, thank you, and I wish you the best for your future projects! Last but not least, kudos for the pronouns options!

A very short but beautiful game. The art is incredible. I do think the end fell flat a bit, I wish there was more to it, but I can't be mad with how little time I invested in it.

It is a fairly short game, but I did enjoy it a lot. Beautiful art style, a gorgeous story, but yeah, pretty short.

I'm Making a Monster does such a stellar job of exploring complex feelings that come from a life-changing situation. It is a short game with lots of different paths and routes based on the choices the players make (so you better believe I'll be replaying this one a few times!) The soundtrack really fits the somber (but hopeful) atmosphere beautifully. The music coupled with the watercolor art (that had me in visual awe the entire time, full disclosure) and the fantastic writing exploring emotions and relationships in a very approachable and real way makes this game something really special. Zorkie Studios knockin' it out of the park again!!
