    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features interesting characters and solid world-building, but many players feel it lacks depth and development, particularly in romantic arcs. While the writing is generally good, some routes feel rushed or incomplete, leading to confusion and a sense of missed potential. Overall, despite its flaws, the narrative is engaging and offers a relatable plot that resonates with players.

    • “This game has interesting characters and world-building, an enjoyable story, and impressive art.”
    • “I feel like checking out this story was time well spent for me - the writing is generally good, though it sometimes has minor grammar or typo issues that can jolt immersion a bit if you're used to proofreading things, and the focus on serving the needs of a diverse community (of monsters, but the allegory for real-world diverse communities is obvious) was a real positive point.”
    • “Monstrous Lovers displays a practical story with great characters; even with some flaws that may stand out, it is an entertaining read nonetheless.”
    • “I lost interest when I went through one of the paths, and at several points it displays an error, so you're missing parts of the story.”
    • “Overall, the wait for this game was very anticlimactic with a somewhat mediocre story and makes me not want to ever consider backing up game development ever again.”
    • “Sebastian's route feels like it could've been handled better, as it feels rushed and left some holes in his story that weren't properly addressed.”
