A hidden story

You find and download hidden files labeled “Monstronomy: A Classic Monster Collector Game” while browsing the dark web. As you play, the antagonists seem unusually wicked for a children’s game, and glitches make it feel incomplete. Interacting with objects and NPCs reveals secret messages and videos: some seem intended to frighten you, while others offer clues about what is happening.

The messages raise questions about why the game was hidden, what they are trying to tell you and who is behind them. As you investigate, you uncover the darker story concealed beneath the game’s surface.
