My Monster

About

My Monster is a visual novel following Samuel Hart as he moves in with Sullivan, his boyfriend who happens to be a giant, amiable monster. The story unfolds over their first days together, balancing everyday tasks and intimate moments. Players navigate dialogue choices that shape their interactions, with a focus on emotional beats and quiet domesticity. The narrative leans into relatable tensions around vulnerability and compromise, framed by Sullivan's earnest, larger-than-life personality. Available on PC, Mac, Linux, and Android, it plays out in a straightforward single-player format. The game's strength lies in its candid portrayal of a relationship navigating the messy reality of cohabitation. Sullivan's gentle, unapologetic nature contrasts with Samuel's neuroses, creating a dynamic that feels lived-in rather than performative. While adult themes are present, the core appeal is its focus on emotional authenticity over shock value. The slice-of-life approach, complete with mundane activities like grocery shopping and stargazing, keeps the tone grounded, even as Sullivan's literal big-heartedness adds a touch of whimsy.
