[SPOILER FREE] Let me just start with the two most important things for me when it comes to games: - it's fun! - The developers clearly enjoyed creating the game. (Lot of love poured into it) Is this game for everybody? Hell no. But it's easy to judge whether or not you'd enjoy this type of game or not, just look at the screenshots, and the first lines of the description. I love that the game doesn't want to waste your time, and that it doesn't want to overstay it's welcome, it achieves these by giving you the choice to select the length of the playtrough (30-60 mins), also I'm a really slow reader yet this game made me read fast, and do things quick by having a great fast paced soundtrack and a fast paced text scrolling (not sure if this is the right word, but I mean in which rate the text appears, it doesn't actually scroll out of screen or anything like that, so you can actually read it slowly if you so desire). And the combination of these things really made for an enjoyable bite sized experience that you can repeat over and over again, as the game offers a lot of different choices/characters/endings. The over presentation is great, the art is gorgeous and the writing is just what you'd expect it to be, it feels like everything was tailored to one goal to have fun. Not to overthink things, just plainly have fun and enjoy what the game has to offer. So yeah for me this game was totally worth it, I'm enjoying it a lot, and if you think you'd enjoy something like this as well, all I can say is: Don't worry, the game exactly what it looks like, and more! :) I hope this review was at least somewhat useful, but keep in mind this was just one random guys thoughts about the game. Bonus: The game has multiplayer support, both online and offline. I'm someone who loves playing with others, and it's such a nice surprise seeing this type of game offering multiplayer option as well. Can't wait to have some fun playing Monster Prom over the holidays with my friend ^^
I was torn about giving 4 or 5 stars, but at the end I decided to go with 5 since I think the epxerience the game provided will stick with me for a long long time. The art, the music, the story and even the gameplay absolutely fantastic, I couldn't have said anything bad about it at the baginning since about 3/4 of the game is just that great. But once you arrive at the later areas the puzzles and challenges became rather frustrating and tedious. At least this way you could actually feel the struggle of the main character at the end. I really recommend picking this game up it's such a wonderful experience and if you can't be bothered with the later part, just use a wallktrough you'll lose nothing.
