"The Monster in Me" Review

Website:  https://alicerendell.itch.io/the-monster-in-me

Genre:  Visual Novel

Summary:  You and two friends try to survive in the aftermath of the apocalypse.

Gameplay:  Gameplay consists of choosing responses, which influence companion actions and morale and therefore the story.

Style:  The graphics are a bit overly stylized and lack detail I'd prefer, especially as there's only one background and not much motion.  Still, a downcast look can get across a lot of emotion, especially when combined with the ever-crackling fire and nice music.

Story:  The difficult decisions of morality and survival make for a tense and often dark story.  Personally, I wish there was a bit more detail or background on the cause of this apocalypse just because that helps me make my choices, but others may like the in media res style.

Conclusion:  "The Monster in Me" is an interesting game about the harsh possibilities of survival in tough situations.
