Monster(Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows
Entry for Spooktober Jam 2025. Rate me if you like the game here！
Intro
You and seven strangers are trapped in a countryside mansion, forced to play a killing game. For everyone else, the only way to survive is to find the killer. But for you, my dear killer, the only path forward is to slaughter them all.
Gameplay
You will play as Eula (name/appearance fully customizable).
Chosen by the mysterious host Nyar as the killer, you are tasked with the bloody mission of wiping out every other participant.
Here, you’ll confront the past you thought you had long abandoned, while struggling on the edge of survival and morality.
But even in the darkest moments, faint sparks of friendship and love may still emerge.
Get to know seven strangers, each with distinct personalities. Grow close to them, or perhaps… fall in love with them, if they can survive your blade until the very end.
After all, aside from killing, it seems, maybe, possibly, you truly have no other choice.
You (Fully Customizable appearance and name)
Meet your “preys”

HOLYY PEAK!! This is so good!
I'm making a killing game too, so it's cool to see others who are also doing the same thing~! I really love the character art and the environment and just everything in general! Keep going because I really enjoyed this and I'm excited to see how it plays out!
Thank you so much for liking it! I'll try out your game whenever I have time too!
this was sick! loved the designs and piqued by the characters so far (kaelith and aria got my most interest so far.. although as much curious about the animal chesspieces they represent and how would they tie with each other, i think what i can see was the deer, the bunny, the mouse, cat, goat, squirrel, and idk for cecilia and not really sure on some of them still but part of the fun anyway), kinda relieving the game ends before the voting part haha (having flashbacks to the dark times).
there were typos like one mixup of the Nyar with Naya name, and Kaelith’s dialogue of “if anyone’s voice shifts from their spot …” being labeled in Lilith’s name, and few others though they didnt impede the playthrough much, also some things like the spot when Leon got out of the room and stood there for a sec blocked the way, and when Eula pointed out about the locked storage room despite not interacting with the door yet.
this got potential to kill it and rose to the level of those other death games-themed works. by itself, it was already whole cool idea to be expanded upon and plans of the effort put into it were clear, had added life and variety of personality so far. i wonder if we could get through the game in like pacifist mode or something, and im guessing theres prob another killer than the mc actually.. only most difficult thing to deal with would be the suspicion, just exciting to find out the stretch of possibilities anyhow!
Thank you so much for the comment!! This made my day! I'm sooo happy that you enjoyed it!
The chess characters are actually wolf (you), leopard (Kaelith), cat (Lilith), dog (Rowan), goat (Aria), deer (Leon), bunny (Lucian), and Cecilia is bird~ I'm thinking about how to make these more obvious too but you got most of them right!
I will fix all the bugs and typo you reflected in the upcoming week! Thank you once again for all the awesome advice and liking the characters!! ❤
Love the concept behind this (and the chess pieces idea)! I always have a soft spot for killing games like Danganronpa lol. Looking forward to be able to smooch Rowan in his ending!
Thank uuu!
I loved that the overworld sprites were all chess pieces that was really creative/fit thematically. The starting scene was also fun to play through and pick options for what people were saying! I really liked the visuals for the game, the environments looked interesting and the character sprites are all very pretty. My favourite character was Rowan :)
Thank you so much for playing!! I'm glad you like the game! I was worried because I'm bad at drawing guys but knowing that you like Rowan makes me really happy~!
