– ABOUT – #

“A Monster’s Insight” is a cosmic horror-themed “debating” visual novel with psychological elements. This game is all about the power of words and how you can exploit them.
Success and failures are determined by stat-raising and obtaining keywords. There are always at least 3 different ways to convince an interlocutor.
This was an entry submitted for a ****game jam called NaNoReNo 2021 and was made in one month.

You are a monster known as the “silver-tongued”.  Your goal is simple: convince the most powerful cosmic terrors to steal their souls and rule the world.

But will your greatest obstacle be them underestimating you… or your haunting past?
