    Monster Prom has one major positive going for it but it is hampered by one equally major negative. The humour is some of the best I have ever seen in a game. I loved the dialogue; the choices; and the events that happen in game. What I couldn’t stand was the randomness of the game. I have done two play throughs of the game and tried to romance a different character each time and each timeMonster Prom has one major positive going for it but it is hampered by one equally major negative. The humour is some of the best I have ever seen in a game. I loved the dialogue; the choices; and the events that happen in game. What I couldn’t stand was the randomness of the game. I have done two play throughs of the game and tried to romance a different character each time and each time got rejected even though many of my interactions with that character were positive leading up to prom and I had high stats in areas they liked. The game does a very poor job letting you know where you stand with potential dates. Most of what I know about where to find them or what they like had to be guessed based on what little info you’re given and even then didn’t make sense with some of the reactions you get. It all seemed so random each time I played and not in a fun way. The art was great. The music and sound effects were all right but nothing special.

    I played Monster Prom on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any spelling issues or bugs. There were no graphics options. Alt-Tab didn’t work. There was no save system at all. Each play through is pretty quick but this is still a terrible option for a game with as many choices as you make.

    Overall my love for what Monster Prom did right was nowhere near my hate for what I didn’t like about it. I paid $5.39 CAD for it and while that is a fine price for the amount of content and replayability it didn’t make the game more enjoyable.

    Truly hilarious, brilliant dialogues are not enough to compensate for random, grind-oriented gameplay. [07/2018, p.74]

    As a singleplayer title, it seems to offer a wealth of content — the stories have a quirky kind of charm and each scenario has four possible outcomes, with a total of over twenty endings possible. Of course, playing with rivals adds a replay value of its own, but after a little time spent with it, I came away feeling that Monster Prom is only functional at best — despite the wealth of options, the scenarios become predictable and tired quickly. Even so, a group of friends turns it into a delightfully messy romp of the kind that my younger self would have loved, minus the cocaine.

    As someone who did not attend his own prom, something about Monster Prom just clicked and made me really invested into learning more about these monster young adults and their fates before the big dance. I found myself immediately starting a new session after a rejection in hopes of finally getting the monster of my dreams to finally say yes. The sheer amount of events and possible outcomes meant it would be hard for me to get bored.
