Dear Monster

Dear Monster is an adults-only story about Allen, a recent university graduate who planned to attend medical school. After receiving a letter from a grandfather he never knew, Allen is drawn to a mansion inhabited by five magical creatures. He discovers that he and the creatures are trapped there, and must investigate his past and learn magic by bonding with one of them to find a way out.

Allen and the mansion

Raised by a strict aunt and largely unaware of his birth family, Allen wants a normal life. The strange events that have complicated his life may be connected to his newly discovered magical heritage. As he uncovers the mystery of his past, he must decide whether to escape and continue the life he planned or claim his legacy as a wizard.

The five routes

The story has five routes, including the Slagathor route, with 19 possible endings. Each love interest also has a monster form.

• Imbriss: He came looking for Allen’s grandfather, the famed wizard, but finds Allen instead.
• Faeryn: The unicorn says he has been waiting for Allen and seems to know him, despite their having just met.
• Momo: The sly fox is friendly but uses trickery and mischief, apparently to keep people at a distance.
• Hikmat: The stoic, serious gardener talks often about death and tends plants Allen has never seen. Although he seems annoyed by Allen, he lets him get close.
• Slagathor: The route is part of the game’s five-route story.
