Tri City Monsters

Enjoyed this game, in a sea of "monster f*cker" games where the monster in question is just some twink with animal ears, this truly is a hidden game. Found this on itchio first but I was glad to see it on steam (I just adore achievement collection.) Great story-line, the concept and world building have me insanely invested in how the perpetual cycle of demon contracts and their functions in the demonic food chain as well as the purpose of enforcers in this ecosystem. Nice designs too, loved the abstraction of Amir's incubus form and the biology/design of Akello's form. Overall an enjoyable game and one that truly lets you indulge in the monster part of monster f*cker, it was also very refreshing that the pronouns and body descriptions were really diverse - usually I would settle for a femcentric protagonist game but it this made my gay little heart very happy. Hope to see more from the creator, recommend this to anyone who's a little freaky and a connoisseur of fine art and finer story telling. Ontop of that, I pleasantly find myself listening to the soundtrack in extra's as I work or indulge in other games/things. I am shameless but I am free. 10/10

I got to say something and it’s rare that I give thoughts on games at all since they leave me deeply unimpressed. Visual Novels for LGBT folks are either to raunchy or the writing is so flat and filled with so many grammatical errors, I am taken out of the story entirely. This visual novel is charming and spicy without being too much. The characters are different and nuanced. There is pacing without it turning into a Micheal Bay movie. It’s rare that the characters aren’t cardboard cutout of the writers. So many times, we as readers are shown characters that have problems and issues that are resolved rather quickly and easily, without any personal growth, the MCs don't learn anything, and the reader feels used like a condom. Also why isn't the team charging for this, if the team is scared there is no need. Stop it. The work is good. The art is fantastic. Also, the Protagonists are not melanin deficient. The world wants this.

Love this so much I went and left a dono on the Itch page. Why are all of the LIs so likeable? Help!!!

I’ve been following Tri City Monsters since before it was even finished, back when it was free, and it’s been really cool watching it grow. The art is absolutely gorgeous, the soundtrack is fantastic, and the writing genuinely surprised me. I came for the hot monster dudes, but I stayed because I actually got invested in the story and characters. I also have to give the developer a ton of credit. They’ve been really active with updates and listening to feedback from players. The UI is clean and easy to use, achievements are pretty reasonable to get, and I love how much choice for your sexuality and preferences the game gives you. And when players asked for a Raath route, the dev basically said "yep, it's coming." Instant +10,000 points from me because... I can't say no to a bad boy. It’s not perfect, though. If you choose not to bone some of the characters, some conversations with them can feel a little awkward, like the game assumes you’re going to sleep with everyone eventually. (I did... but that’s not the point, okay? 😂) The endings also felt a bit rushed after such a fun journey, and while your choices determine which ending you get, they don’t always feel super impactful during the story itself. I also wouldn’t have complained about getting a few more CGs, but that’s just me being greedy. Overall though, I had a great time with it. If you’re looking for a monster-themed visual novel with great art, fun writing, and some very attractive dudes, this one is absolutely worth checking out.

TriCity Monsters is an LGBTQ supernatural horror visual novel set in a very stylish and dark version of the 1990s, At the present you can meet 3 characters, each with their own personality and supernatural ability, with whom you interact in a fashion similar to a dating sim, unlocking scenes based on your choices and providing replayability in the form of different endings to find even within the same character arc. I consider myself to be asexual so I cannot really comment on that aspect of the game, but I do want to comment on the incredible work by the developer: Studio Peaches. In this specific instance I want to praise the dedication and continuous work to expand the content, not just story-wise but in features and QoL over the years. The game is completely hand-drawn, the writing feels human, atmospheric, quirky, in a way that reminds you that at the end of the day creativity is an exercise and it doesn't necessarily need to appeal to you for you to recognize their effort. In their socials, patreon and Discord, the dev has fostered a sense of community that I wish more studios adopted, in an era rife with polarization and tribalism as engagement techniques. In the latest update (which included not only a new character but a gallery and a music player) I found a bug that not only prevented achievements from being awarded, it also caused a crash. I decided (since I was interested in hunting achievements) to report it on their Discord. The response was immediate. Within hours and with a little back and forth, the developer had not only identified the bug, but the specific issue, pushed as much as 3 different updates and eventually cracked down on the issue fixing achievement synchronization (without the need to replay it) and providing a workshop mod that allowed players to unlock any missing achievements. The effort put into the fix and follow-up experience are what prompted me to write this review, because I would be a hypocrite if I said that developers like this don't deserve your support, people who are passionate about and married to their craft, and I'm not the kind of person to not show appreciation even if the subject matter does not align with my personal preferences. I have massive respect for developers not just from a technical but also an artistic perspective, and I am happy to recommend a game that delivers on all fronts like TriCity Monsters. Massive respect to Studio Peaches. And thank you very much for the fixes! Long live independent games.

I really like this game, it updates regularly and is super interesting. I really like that it strikes a good balance between the adult aspects and actual compelling storylines

Genuinely this game is one of the most interested I've been in a story; each character has so much personality i can't get enough of them- The fact that this game is free AND with constant updates is honestly crazy. The art and character designs (both human and monster) are also incredible; definitely recommend to all monster-lovers out there. <3 <3
