Gameplay
Monster Prom is a parody of the dating sim genre of visual novel.[3] The player can choose between six different monsters they can try to date. Each player takes their turn at going through an event in one of the map locations in order to gain stats that affect the way their love interest perceives them. It features multiple endings, items and mini-games. The player can choose to play as one of four pre-set characters.
The humor of the game is more that of western TV shows, like "You're the Worst", "Archer", "The Magicians", or "BoJack Horseman", among others from which the developers said had taken inspiriation of.
Plot
The players are presented as students within "Spooky High", a high-school in a world inhabited by monsters[4]. They are given a time limit of three weeks in order to convince their chosen love interest to take them to Prom.
Development
On 25 November 2016 the game successfully completed a Kickstarter campaign raising funds through 1,592 backers[5]. On 14 February 2018 the developers announced the game would release on 27 April 2018 through a teaser trailer[6]
