Content warning:
In general, the game contains violence, body horror, and gore, especially in the bad ends. But there are broader themes of referenced past physical/sexual abuse and substance abuse. (to be clear, there is no abuse between the main character and the sweethearts in the main story, bad ends explore non-canon endings to their routes). So be careful if any of these things trigger or upset you in any way. There is also a horror aspect to this game so there will be creepy moments, though rest assured there are no jumpscares. This is a game for mature audiences and explores various subjects that are not suitable for everyone.
list of possible triggering content, this is not an exhaustive list. If you download and play you consent to the content:
Graphic depictions of torture, violence, gore, and abuse. References to past sexual violence/abuse and domestic violence. Drug and alcohol abuse, cannibalism, and homophobia.
18+ content?:
This game besides the violence does not contain any sexual 18+ content, the most you get are make-out sessions and kissing.
MS is rated PG17+.
The instinct and reason system:
These are special choices you can select from time to time. They matter more than regular choices in the routes.
Instinct: This involves taking a more violent approach.
Reason: Use your intellect to solve problems.

Don't tag this "otome" if it's a lesbian game.
This game is seven years old lol
Ok it's still not an otome.
The game is about abusive relationships with lesbian psychos and nolifer main character dumb as tree log.
I laugh everytime I see Xanthe's room Jsjsjsksksks
LOLOLOLOL
I CNAT
IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER I WOULD'VE THOUGHT THOSE WERE FLY SWATTERS
AGHFHFHDJDKS
I CANT GET OUT THE IMAGE OF XANTHE USING A FLY SWATTER
HELP—
UDJDJSAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHA
Thank you for creating this game, I have completed all endings except the secret ending. Could I ask you about the password of your quiz?
https://uquiz.com/quiz/OgQklX/monster-sweethearts-quiz
hello! So sorry but your comment got marked as spam and I only just now saw it, I know you may not want it anymore but the password is “imgay”
Thank you! And don't worry, some people I messaged on social media also encountered this problem:)))
sorry this comment got pinged as spam and just saw it right now, but your more than welcome too!
This game looks amazing but it costs money and i don't think it works on mobile😭
this does not cost money but it doesnt work on mobile but if ur able to somehow play pls play this it changed my life
How do you get lyells, baes and victoria's good endings? I keep getting the bad ones no matter what.
hm that’s weird. There are walkthroughs on YouTube that may help. But in general nice answers award more points and instinct and reason award double points so they matter more. I don’t have access to the original game rn to cross check but if others officially know the correct answers hopefully they can chime in.
Are you still stuck? I had this problem with Vic's route a few months back and had to completely restart from the prologue instead of using a save state, all the good choices seemed to work there. Not sure if you are still stuck but if it helps or even not lmk I'd love to help <3
Umm. I wont let me download the file. Just says stuff like "Cant download file. No permissions". Help please?
sorry for the late reply, we’re you able to get this working? I tried searching on my own but couldn’t get a concrete answer myself :(
Its all good, your reply wasn't late at all!!
I just tried again on a different PC and it worked. Ty for trying to help. Must be my laptop thats the issue.
And OMG this game is amazing. like so.so.so.soAMAZING ahhh. also is there like a Lien path that I can choose? really like her lol
yes, after you get all the good and bad ends for lyell, Victoria and bae, you do Xanthe bad and god ends. Than your able to do liens. in addition to answering all the questions right in the common route, (answer in this order 3,3,1,1,3,2)
Huh. I just did Xanthes good and bad endings and didnt work... What happens in the bad ending of Xanthe, if you can rember its ok if not (Sorry for my bad english
I got "Darclas daughter" and the ending when Xanthe like keeps us chained up and has the drill. oh and when rose or the twins kills me
at the final choice, where rose and Xanthe are out in the rain, you can choose instinct or reason. If you choose either of them it’s the bad end, where Xanthe torture jaylene. You get the good end if you wait out the timer on that earlier choice. If you get both good and bad endings. Than start a new game and answer in the order of 3,3,1,1,3,2 liens route should start.
a little surprise for anyone checking the comments(as I did not want to make a devlog cause I didn’t want to get anybody’s hopes up lol) here is another sneak peak for the people who have been so patient so far for the recut update, the love interests are completed but some side characters probably won’t be for the beta release. I realized there’s a lot of polish i want to do but a lot is not completely necessary. Similar to when I first uploaded the game, I’ll do some updates for extra polish like extra cgs, sound effects, maybe some minor animations and stuff like that. But if others prefer only when it’s completely finished I’ll do that. Nothing set in stone, it’s just that I’m a perfectionist and if I don’t have a stopping point who knows how long it’ll take lol! But I wanted to update to let yall know I’m still working hard at it! I might even post a 30 second gameplay clip later. We’ll see
AHHH HOW DID I MISS THIS
I'm genuinely so normal and well adjusted for crying out of excitement for this good god 😭 Lien is down right gorg and I can't wait to see the others, I'm gonna be the most obnoxious person about this game once the recut comes out omg
also a gameplay would be the greatest thing on earth 😭😭
Hehe thank you, is there any route you would like to see? (Though I have a feeling who you might choose haha). And the game is close, I’m doing the final read through for any bugs and stuff, bae and xanthes are done so it’s going to be a little longer but I hope that’s fine as I do want to add some cgs but won’t replace all of them yet just important ones (I am not looking forward to bug testing the secret rout iykyk)🫶
I'm genuinely so excited!! I cannot wait to see how you've grown as an artist <3 And yeah I can imagine bug testing sucks ass, I've avoided coding like the plague my entire life because it looks like hell, so I admire your skill to code an entire game 😂
Honestly, maybe a curve ball, but I'd kill for a sneak peek of Bae's route 👀 I'm really curious to see how it's changed as iirc you said it was the one most rewritten. But I'm more than happy for anything, I will go apeshit with excitement no matter what part of the game I get a look of 🤭
Awesome, I'll upload the sneak peek tomorrow :)
here’s the YouTube link for the sneak peek as itch doenst allow videos in comments: https://youtu.be/FanMnT65h_8?si=BxGQvzkMx6gpYfvy
as for the update, I finished 3 out of 6 read through/ bug testing and should be done with the fourth this weekend. So it’s very close. But idk if I want to add some cgs I deem important enough to delay it for. Like lyell has no new cgs and I don’t want to leave her completely out 😭 but we’ll see after all the bug testing stuff is done. I think even if I don’t, the update I’ll release will be the beta version and I’ll gradually add new cgs and polish, as the meat of the game is basically done and I can even get feedback or suggestions to help with further development but we’ll see. Thanks to anyone (and especially spider with a party hat I know she’s excited for it) who’s looking forward to the update. I’m excited to share it soon :)
I'm gonna be completely honest I watched that entire thing with my mouth open, I did not expect it to look that gorgeous like just oh my god. I'm so curious to see what's going on with Bae now, I hope my favorite fish wife hasn't developed an ED
But I'm genuinely more and more hyped by the day for this and cannot wait to get my grubby little hands on this holy fuck
Also damn you for cutting directly when Xanthe appears😂
Recently re-replayed monster sweethearts and this game is still as good as it was when i played years ago...deadass made my account JUST to buy the artbook and i am SO HYPE for the remake/update ((o(^∇^)o)) ((o(^∇^)o))
[The hyperfixation is getting real...i already made two ocs for this...]
thank you so much for you continued support! (╥﹏╥) the remake will be coming next month sometime. I wanted to get it out today but got really bad sick last week :( I’m working hard at it though! and I’d love to see the ocs :)
Ough, sickness is the WORST :((, I hope your doing much better now and recovering well! I made a doodle of one of the ocs but not the other...
https://www.tumblr.com/rawrtagain/798986828514557952/shes-lowkey-self-indulgent-but-shh-no-lore-in
It's so freeing to see someone else hyperfixated to hell and back on this game 😂 We truly are an endangered breed😔
Ocs are such a cute idea too! Will you be doing any art with those or just showing them off? There's truly not enough fan content about this game and I crave any crumb I can grab😭
Endangered is an UNDERSTATMENT </33
We are so niche its insane....and i do plan on making art and doing things with them!! Once i figure out some stuff, i'm probably gonna get self indulgent ^_^;
EEEE I'm so excited!!! Seeing someone else actually post with the tumblr tag made me go crazy 😂😭 I love your OC by the way they're absolutely adorable <3
and just so you know if you ever wanna talk shit about the game feel free to DM me on tumblr because if you're anything like me I've been going crazy not being able to seriously talk to anyone about this game 😂
THANK YEW!! She's mostly a brain oc..so not very devolped YET but i'll get there....
AND YESSSS ((o(^∇^)o))
I will take you up on that offer when im wayy more awake!! Seeing another person who also likes monster sweethearts is such a joy!!
Really interesting game, but I honestly didn’t like Victoria’s route. Just wondering—am I the only one who feels this way, or are there others who didn’t like her either? After everything she did to the protagonist, in the end she still comes out on top—she gets the MC, she’s forgiven, and even in the bad ending that thing happens (no spoilers).
Throughout her entire arc, I felt nothing but anger toward her. Ironically, my very first playthrough ended up being her route by accident… I actually wished there was an ending where the MC would completely cut ties with her—telling her to never speak to her again. That way Victoria would lose her “friendship” and never be forgiven.
I was really furious with her, it’s kind of impressive! Very few game characters have managed to get under my skin like that—wow. This is just me venting, but I can’t believe Victoria still acted like she had the right to consider herself the MC’s “friend” after everything she did. Honestly, she just pissed me off the whole time.
Aside from that character, whom I strongly disliked and felt like punching, the game is really great!
I don't know if there's a consensus in the "fandom" but I for one adore Victoria 😭 obviously everyone's going to have a different reading but how I saw that route was Victoria slowly getting out of her own ass and actually trying to become a better person and make it right to Jaylene. I agree that's she's insufferable as shit though, especially in that first half of the game. Also yeah the bad ending is crazy and I just put my hands to my ears and go "blah blah blah I can't hear you" anytime I remember it because admitting it happened means admitting she's not perfect and I adore her and Victoria is my everything
POV: You come back to this game after 5 years
Wow, I am just super impressed on how well this has aged. Considering everything that has happened since the games initial publishing and all the jumps in indie gaming, this game has stood the test of time.
I remember playing this right after entering high-school and now I'm sitting here having just entered my 20's and be it nostalgia or not I just find myself liking the game just as much as I did back then and it seems I'm not alone in this line of thinking. To further this, I've seen that an update has been in the works and is supposedly almost finished (writing wise), potentially bringing in new fans and adding years onto the games lifespan. That being said I can't sing its graces enough, being one of the most unique and unapologetically in your face visual novels I've ever read [and it's free!]. That being said, I just hope any new fans who have recently joined the community enjoy it as much as I have.
To finish this short post out I'll just put down some small thing's I'd like to see as a long time fan :)
1.) Badge System/Reward System for completing routes, endings and actions
2.) More bad ends?
3.) More in-depth looks at Jaylene's own character and abilties.
4.) Additional Secret Routes and the possibility of short one off endings with side characters.
5.) A way to directly support the furthering of the game whether that be through patreon, cash-app, etc.
6.) Community Polls or other ways to directly influence the game in some way!
Hello! It means so much to me to see how much this game has meant to you, and for you and others to keep coming back to it over the years. That is such high praise! I’ll see what I can do about some of your suggestions, like adding more bad ends or secret routes, though I can’t guarantee anything just yet.
The idea of polls is really fun too. After the release (I’m aiming for Halloween, though life has its way of getting in the way), I might run some feedback polls to see what people liked and what could be improved.
I honestly feel like crying knowing that people would want to support me financially. After the release update, I’m planning on launching a Patreon to help fund the development of Cryptid Courting, my other dating sim, since without some backing I don’t think I’d be able to make it happen. Patreon supporters will get access to things like exclusive art, behind the scenes stuff from both games, and polls where you can vote on which characters I should draw next. None of that content will be posted elsewhere, so it’ll be a special thanks to everyone helping me continue creating. Nothing is finalized yet and I’ll be open to feedback to what people want to see.
I’m also still hoping to eventually make keychains of Monster Sweethearts characters available for purchase, though with tariffs in my country that’s a little tricky right now.
Overall thank you for the support! It means the world to me! I appreciate everyone who’s played, commented or even created fan content, that I hope to give y’all even more stuff to look forward to.
I 100% agree with the guy above that a patreon would be an amazing idea, I know I for one (and many others I'm sure) would support you in an instant
It's Frankenstein's day apparently, you know what that means - Happy fucking birthday Victoria Moritz
I’m a few days late, but I wanted to draw a quick something for our local dead girl walking. Jaylene can’t bake.
Ahh this is so cute!! I got some really shit news and have to travel cross country to see a family member, but this has made it so much more bearable. Jaylene and Victoria have such a special place in my heart and I'm so excited to see them back whenever the new update comes out!! Love your work 💕
im very gay for lyell. thank you for creating lyell.
ok but blake tho. that lesbian flannel is making me feel conflicted
I LOVE THIS GAME😭😭 Especially loved the endings in Vic and Xanthe's route and the big plot twist in Lien's!
sobbing haven't finished the game yet but i turned off my computer to gtg the bathroom and i forgot to save and it skipped lyell's entire thing
i really love this game alot, and im down bad over xanthe va i wanna ask when are the voice acting going to be finished? really wanna hear xanthes route va 😔
Unfortunately, I don't have plans to do this, as it's up to the voice actors to determine if they have the time for it and are not involved in other projects. Additionally, I don't have the funds to hire a full voice actor for Jaylene and any love interest route, as voice acting is quite expensive. Maybe some day though.
I played this the first time yeaaaarssss ago and have been every now and then, i love the game so damn much. Will you ever make a part 2 or anything?
I’m working on the recut version, all the routes have been rewritten/edited to some degree with redesigns on the characters. The writing is (mostly) done but I’m just working on redoing some cgs and finishing up the sprites and bug testing. Here’s a sneak peek at one of the redesigns :) thank you for liking the game for so long
Oh my god It looks amazing!!! i love it so much! I appreciate this so much, thank you not only for the amazing content but for the sneak peek, i'm STOKED!!!!
OMGG im so excitedd, i've been coming to your profile page every once in a while to see if there was any news in thiss. I'm so hypeed i loved the game, thank you for your great work!! :)
Damn what was her tanning routine?
hi!! i adore this game!!! very late to the bandwagon I know but if anyone sees this in the future PLEASE give me tips on how to beat the minigame in bae's route i keep getting humbled so hard 💀
Here are a few tips. Don't press outside the black boxes as that will be a insta fail, second, I've seen another commenter say this, so I haven't tested it. You can use the scroll on your mouse to return to the previous square and prepare for it accordingly if that makes sense.
Brown! The story is so creative and really fun to play :)
I know the dev doesn't really seem to respond much sadly (adore the game btw) but was Xanthe supposed to be trans? It's the only route where the concept of a transgender person is mentioned and she seems awkward with her crotch? Even if not the trans community claims her now, she's mine
to have some clarity here, (and spoilers ahead for xanthes route)
Spoilers :
The aversion Xanthe has to being touched under the belt is related to her trauma(being vague here for people who ignore warnings, but if you played her route you know what I’m talking about) . Shes fine giving but does not like receiving touch. But i have no problem with trans headcanons.
Thanks for the clarification! Also I didn't realise you replied 4 months ago to another comment, so please ignore my thing about you not responding much
does anyone know how to get baes bad ending?
I know I am extremely late but if you're still curious, near the end of the route you have two options, reason and instinct. Do instinct
If you need a proofreader to help smooth out your work, I'd love to help out.
really enjoyed playing through this, lyell has been my fave route, tho a part of me is wanting a jaylene x blake route XD
Does anyone know how to get to Liens route?
Does anyone know how to get past The trail in Victorias route? I did the exact pattern she told me but I still died. i also tried it backwards and with all lefts or all rights but it just doesn't work! I'm desperate at this point lol
Omg nevermind!! I just re-read the dialogue and realized it said that I already took the first left!!
hi ! thank you so much for your hard work into writing this game, ik this shit took time and I can see your efforts. i have been fighting for my life trying to unlock bae good ending and I got to know how !! i need to know what mistake my friend and I made so that she keep eating us! we have read all your comments and we haven't seen any helpful advice. please please please help!
love adia and abhi
SPOILERS
Well, if you keep getting her bad end, and your past the point of that man who attacks you in the sewers then it's the choices you are making in her route that are giving you the bad end. Replay her route and pick the choices that are kind and nice, for instinct and reason, pick instinct for the first time it comes up, and reason the next time it comes up.
ahhh i love this game so much!! im obsessed lol but the only thing that rly distracts from the story is the huge amount of typos and especially the misuse of their, there, and they're :'''( I think itd be great if there was a separate option in the main menu to see cgs from the li's routes! also xanthe's route fucken hurt me wth
ps i lowkey kinda want a jaylene x reader route xD
There appears to be a bug with Victoria's Route. After Completing Only her bad end (With lyell and bae's good and bad paths completed) I was able to access xanthe's Route.
thanks for letting me know, this will be fixed in the next update.
Can i get a full breakdown on what i have to do to get Xanthe's route? step by step?
1. Get the good endings for Lyell, Bae and Victoria. these all end with a drawing of them at the dance in their costumes.
2. get the bad endings for Lyell, Bae and Victoria. these are all different. and their routes do have deaths in them that might seem like bad ends but aren't (the directions segment in victories. the mini game near the end of base route, etc). without a spoiler for their route bae and Victoria have a cg with their bad end after the last instinct/ reason choice. And Lyell bad ending involves more of her than Jaylene (really hard to explain without spoiling). on the main menu you should have three items for each of the girls as of right now.
3. play the common route and answer the questions in this order 111,333. if done right and all routes have been done before it should start automatically. if you get a choice between lyell, bae, and victoria that means you didn't complete their endings.
thanks mate. i'm on it.
You are right, idk why people would downvote this(though their allowed to disagree ofc, as everyone has different opinions). But I want other people who might read the comments to know I don't downvote any comments even if I disagree with them. and I believe Itchio doesn't even register my downvote, so even if I did, it wouldn't show up on the counter publically. This goes the same for upvotes too, they won't show either.
Wow. This has made me rethink my opinion on downvoting. Like, just because i dont like that he quit so easily, doesnt mean i should be hateful or negative. Some people are just like that. Inhereby rescind my downvote. See, normally i tend to dv people who are negative themselves, but honestly, looking back, this is fair criticism hes making.
question: what type of monster is tailor? shes a part of the commitee but it never states what tailor is. is she just a human that found out about monsters like jaylene or is she a monster herself?
Minor spoilers I suppose:
She is a monster, She's sort of like a fae/human hybrid. That was her initial concept and I have never gone back to it to flesh it out.
what did I say that got this downvoted 😭
i.... i cant do xanthe route.... I tried all the options but I can't even start her route, can anyone give me the order of choices...? (i need that, im crying here... please)
The order for her choices is 1,1,1,3,3,3
oh hi, I'm also trying to do Xanthe's route, but I can't do it because these three options always appear so I can't start the romance with her :/ Is there anything I can do??
The route should start automatically but if not that means you didn’t get the good and bad ends of lyell, Victoria and bae first. Do that, than the choices, than it should start.
just to check, is Blake a romance option? or the secret option? its cool if she isn't just checking
Y'know, personally, I would rather be part of the monster sweetheart planning cummtitty than the monster sweetheart planning committee
Another thing that might be a glitch: In the Xanthe route, when Rose gives you an option to either let her go or let her stay, it doesn't let me choose either, and I just end up running out of time and she chooses for me.
This also means I've only gotten the bad ending for Xanthe and can't get the good ending
in order to not get the bad end, you don't need to choose then— instead, wait for the choice between the twins and Rose. Choose rose— at the extra drama point where Xanthe is holding the axe and might be able to kill Rose, don't choose anything. Don't press instinct, don't press reason— let the timer wind down.
Hope this helped!!
Oh my gosh thank you! I honestly could NOT figure out how to do this, thanks so much!
I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but I've played through the Victoria ending and it won't give me the ending, like it doesn't register that I've done it, and I don't have whatever is supposed to appear on the home page. Because of this I also can't do the Lien or Xanthe routes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
You must finish Victoria's bad end to get it. Just in general pick the options that make the mc believe she is disgusting. You must also get the bad ends for Bae and Lyel.
Ohhh I didn't realize I had to get the bad endings too. Thank you!
Is there any way of skipping the challenge in the secret route? The key figurations initates my voice to speech for some reason and it won't let me complete it
However I love the game. The characters and the stories are a 100/10
hehe nevermind I figured it out :)
Am I about to replay a game I haven't touched in three years because I need something to make me feel better? Yes. Yes I am. I regret absolutely nothing!
I'm in the same boat rn...
I'm sad the weird roommate isnt romancable :'c
