Monster Mash 1.0

Summon your own date in Monster Mash, a free dating simulation video game that takes place in the world of horror story legends. Developed by HeyMarmalade, this indie visual novel is a hilarious Halloween dating sim where you must find a party date at the last minute. Join the Spooktober 2nd Annual Visual Novel Jam and embark on a wacky adventure filled with pop culture references.

Unlike other dating sim games, Monster Mash puts a unique twist on the supernatural theme. Instead of playing as a teenage monster trying to find a date with a fellow monster schoolmate, you play as a desperate human who attempts to summon a date through a ritual. The game starts off with a simple task: choose 3 out of 8 items to combine. However, be careful as some combinations may lead to a bad ending where your summoning fails. The game features 4 romanceable characters with different gender identities, making it inclusive of LGBT relationships.

The story is narrated in second-person perspective, immersing you in the game's world. While there aren't many exact dialogues, you have dialogue options to choose from to woo your potential date. The writing may have some grammatical errors, but the content itself is funny and filled with pop culture shout-outs. Discover the unique species of the characters and enjoy the humorous moments throughout the game.

Monster Mash may not be the most revolutionary monster dating sim, but it has its charm. With multiple endings for each character, there is replay value to explore different outcomes. However, it's unfortunate that there is no gallery of CGs to revisit after achieving the good endings. If you're looking to meet new monsters and have a cute and entertaining dating experience, give Monster Mash a try.
