About
Try to build a monster while your friends bother you to take breaks. Play as a mage/scientist and decide how to prioritize your time as you construct the monster. This short interactive narrative is part monster-dress-up game, part friend-dating simulator, and all how-not-to-deal-with-loss advice column. Will you fall into despair or climb back out of the well?

Choose what materials you use to make each part of your monster.

Reconnect and learn about your neglected friends as you develop your monster. Wade through complex emotions to decide what they each mean to you.

As you move through the game, experience time passing. As your character shifts and changes, so will the world.

Choose your character's name and pronouns. Choose up to nine pronouns, including neopronoun options.

This game is a love letter to friendship and to community. To those who feel an insatiable urge to create, and to those who lose themselves in their art.

short and sweet visual novel. just what the doctor ordered.
Very very short game. I was expecting more. But it's a very sweet/dark novelish game about grief. You can either swallow yourself into darkness ignoring everyone or seek help and refuge through friends. I'd overall recommend it. Pretty art style, pretty music. But sadly so short.
I've really enjoyed this! The game feels really impactful, the writing is very moving, and even in short scenes, you learn so much about characters, and see their motivations. I think this is a beautiful game that everyone should play at some point, expecially anyone who has dealt with grief. The protagonist has a really human struggle, between building their passion, and spending more time with the loved ones that surround them, so I kinda had to replay it and see the other route(s). The art is phenomenal, loved seeing portraits of the friends, and the way the monster is shown is truly something ethereal & magical! The music is so well done! I did cry playing the game and I think I will cry replaying it soon! I really reccommend this game, much love!!

Pros: -Historia más o menos interesante -Ilustraciones a acuarela preciosísimas -Inclusivo -Música decente Contras: -Muy muy corto (he completado todos los logros y visto todas las rutas en poco más de una hora) -No hay una variedad enorme con respecto a las rutas que puedes tomar -No está disponible en castellano En conclusión, es un poco caro para lo que ofrece. Lo recomiendo si pillas alguna oferta medio buena o te gusta mucho la acuarela y las novelas gráficas y si hablas inglés, por supuesto.
I was playing the game just fine, enjoying the story so far and then my computer glitches out twice and guess what? definitely destroyed my graphics driver!! :) <3 thank you
Ein kurzes, emotionales Spiel über Verlust, Verzweiflung und Freundschaft. Ich konnte mich selbst in jeder Entscheidung wiederfinden. Im guten wie im dunklen Ende. Und ich hab die Hälfte der Zeit geheult - also gut, dass es nicht allzu lang ist. Absoluter kleiner Geheimtip für Alle, die gutes Storytelling mögen und ein kleines 2-Personen-Team unterstützen wollen.
This is a hard-hitting, short but poignant game, that meditates on themes of grief and personal wellbeing. The beautiful watercolour illustrations and the writing perfectly convey a sense of quiet melancholy that pervades the story. It's a sombre-cozy feeling, and I appreciated it. If you're looking for a something reflective and deeply resonant, I'd really recommend trying the game!
i’ve been looking forward to playing this all week!! i played the demo months and was instantly hooked by the art and mystery of the story. after completing one play though, i can say the wait was definitely worth it! i’m making a monster is a lovely, simple exploration of grief, community, and letting go. it balances light hearted humour with heavy emotional pain in a way that’s easy to digest without diluting emotional impact. i lost someone i loved a few months ago and the game really made my heart clench and ache with how it perfectly represented the desire to desperately cling to any semblance of your loved one. i’m excited for play another route and see how things go! would definitely recommend :)
This game is on the shorter side, but it packs quite an emotional punch! I found myself really drawn in by the story and the characters. The art is also spectacular! If you're looking for something quick that explores grief and trying to return to a world that's moved on without you, I'd recommend checking this out!
Very visual pleasing game! While the play time is short the music, story, and art going all into it is worth the playthrough.
