In quarantine, I was looking for new games to play to occupy my time. I’m playing Jedi: Fallen Order currently, and while I’m enjoying the game, it’s a game that I prefer to play on the weekends. I was looking for more casual PC games to play during the week, where, if I had a stressful workday, these games would relax me. Monster Prom fills this fix as it’s the perfect casual game to play during the week.

Monster Prom is a game in which you have three weeks to secure a date for prom. The exception is you’re a monster at a high school filled with other monsters. During each round, you can pick which part of the high school to interact with, which allows your predetermined monster to socialize with the other monsters. At each social interaction, your character makes a choice, and this choice earns you hearts with the monsters. The more hearts you have, the more likely the monster you ask to prom will say yes.

Monster Prom is a well-made dating simulator game. In character creation, you can pick your pronouns, and the game includes they as an option. This is a small feature to add, but it leads to gamers feeling heard while playing the game. All the monsters are unique in their own way. Damien is the angry devil, while Liam is a hipster vampire. The monsters combine high school stereotypes with their monster counterparts.

While playing through Monster Prom, there are secret endings to unlock. The secret endings are the prom outcomes, for example, if your date says yes or if you’re left without a date for prom. Combined with the Steam achievements allows for more replay in the game.

Monster Prom is a fun dating simulator game with detailed dialogue and interesting monster characters. Let me know if you have played Monster Prom in the comments below. If so, let me know who your favorite monster is. Monster Prom can be purchased on Steam for $11.99.
