The moment my brother saw the shopkeeper for this game he decided that he didn't care about any of the standard dateable characters.
Y'know, I first got into this game in 2018 when it first came out and I was still in high school. I kinda stopped following the franchise sometime around 2019.
My actual prom was canceled because of Covid in 2020. I never dated anyone in High School, but it still felt weird that such a huge event was just... not possible for me.
I didn't fully understand why this game latched onto my psyche when I played it for the first time. But when I tried out the sequels, I realized what had drawn me in.
Prom was never going to be possible for me, irrespective of covid. There were a multitude of reasons that I wouldn't have enjoyed the same night as the other graduating seniors. Mental health struggles, sensitivity to loud noises, alternating discomfort and fascination with ideas of sex and romance, being unsure of a queer identity.
But I'm not just saying that Monster Prom provides me with the escapism of an enjoyable high school experience. In fact, I think it might be the opposite.
There's been a lot of discussion in recent years about what queer media "should" look like. The value of measuring good representation in terms of the morality of the characters. Whether "Comfort Media" is less substantial than something written to be dramatic.
When I look at this franchise, I realize that queer escapism is not just "good things happening to queer characters."
I want to get my hopes up and get rejected. I want to fail at social interactions. I want to have to deal with boring classes and annoying classmates.
And I want the chance to be queer while doing it.
Without any fear that my queerness is what is stopping me from succeeding.

This game is perfect to play by yourself or with friends! My friends and I are all theatre majors and so we assign roles and voice act the game, which adds a whole layer of fun. Ever since we started hanging out to play this together we've gotten really close, and my friends and I joke that we owe our friendship to Liam (because hes the reason I got the game in the first place). Lovely game that has changed my brain chemistry and sense of humor forever. Thank you Beautiful Glitch :]

Monster Prom is a hilarious dating sim where you ignore high school in pursuit of a date for prom. This has easily become one of my favorite games, and I'll always cherish the memories I made playing this with friends. The characters are silly and charming, the scenarios are wacky and fun, and the writing is among the best I've seen of anything in this genre. It knows when to be hilarious, and it knows when to take things seriously. I wasn't expecting the diversity I got with this game, and I was delighted at the aromantic, polyamorous, and trans representation here. I still quote this game obnoxiously, but that's the imprint it's left on me. I would, of course, be remiss to write a review of this game that did not highlight the misery I experienced trying to get a blue ribbon. There is an event that is glitched with an extremely low chance of occurring. In 300 hours of playtime, I encountered it only once, and the last 25 hours or so of my final playtime were devoted solely to finding it again. This made the achievement for getting every outcome torturous, and since this was the last thing I had to do for my 100%, it's left an incredibly sour taste in my mouth for this game. Reaching out to support did nothing, and asking in the (fan-run) Discord yielded similar results. I have loved this game, but it is the last one I would recommend to completionists, and I the complete silence towards achievement hunters has left me more than a little disappointed.

As a pretty average straight male that doesn't have much experience with visual novels, I booted this up to play with friends once or twice and honestly I had a great time. The characters are attractive and likable, the dialogue is punchy and funny and gets many laughs out of me, and the stat building is simple but still crunchy enough to give me something to figure out. The dialogue gets a little too referential at times, but it's still creative enough that you'll still get thrown curve balls that will at least get a smirk out of you. I would definitely recommend this game.
