Making Vera drinking scotch a non-issue, or at least it should have been if Scott wasn’t such a dummy. I moseyed over and popped a squat next to my snake-haired-bougie-queen, and noticed she was drinking scotch, a gorgon after my own heart, I was quickly getting over my loss of Polly.Īpparently, in this monster high school, age and most laws don’t seem to matter. Noticing that Scott and Vera were sitting at a table with one another, and at this point they were the only monsters I knew, I decided to join them. Lunch is presented in a comparable way as the main map, however, floating heads are added onto the cafeteria layout to denote where everyone is sitting.
After our introductions, it was time for lunch. While Scott was a hairy, dumb-jock, werewolf who leaned heavy into all the stereotypes. Vera was a somewhat snobby, business mogul, Gorgon. On my first day of class, I decided to cut (earning me +2 Boldness) for the day and hang out in the bathroom, where I was introduced to Vera and Scott. The main interface of the game is a simple, overhead look of the school’s campus, with the addition of a list of accessible areas along the left of the screen. And if Emily is Away Too taught me anything, I know I should be true to myself when courting 2D avatars. Unfortunately, at the end of my quiz, my fun stat was only a 3, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up with Polly’s party lifestyle. Not only did this catch my eye as an interesting way of handling stats, but it was the first moment where the raunchy humor started to shine through and prepare me for what to expect. Rather than simply adding and subtracting points from your charm or smarts, stats are allocated based on a personality quiz, like what would be found in a Cosmopolitan magazine. This was something that I found myself overly appreciative of. After introductions, next players get to choose the stats for their characters. I mean, for the name alone, the party-loving ghost who’s described as having an “insatiable hunger for all the wrong things,” became instant bae. The first to catch my eye was the tank-top flaunting apparition, Polly Geist. The next step was my introduction to my potential prom dates. When you start the game you first get to select your avatar from a pool of four characters including a peppy rendition of Frankenstein’s monster and a strange shadow like creature who looks to be the president of the Michael Cera fan-club. Heads up: From here on I’m going to be sharing my experience of a failed relationship on one of the many dating paths in Monster Prom. Making the game accessible to those usually crept out by the typical high school setting of dating sims. Despite prom being mentioned in the game, and the narrator emphasizing that you’re all high school students, the monsters are all aged between 19 to 4xx years old. Aside from the over-the-top humorous script, and loveable and distinct cast, what makes this game truly special is the ability to compete with friends for the affection of your sweetheart. Available now on Steam, Monster Prom is a fresh take on the dating sim genre, allowing players to play by themselves or with up to 3 friends to compete for which ghoul, goblin, or ghost to take to prom.įilled with over 1000 situations, throughout the time spent with Monster Prom players will have several opportunities to woo (or in my case disappoint) one of the game’s 6 love interests. “You’re asking me to go to prom with you? Have you seen yourself in a mirror? Your face is a crime against humanity.” Wow, I can’t believe the writers over at Beautiful Glitch interviewed my high school crush when writing their script for Monster Prom.
