Got a pretty interesting "horror-themed" one I stumbled on earlier.



Ci-en:
Demo link:
Twitter:

Gameplay revolves around MC/MC's trying to survive an unknown invasion of big tiddy girls in a dystopian setting. Dev's twitter is scattered with some surprisingly well done gameplay mechanic ideas/imagery. When the first demo gets put out, I'll update post with controls, etc.


Sidescrolling stealth/avoidance game where the player is tasked with praying at statues to gain power (extra health, items and stamina) and resources which are used to open doors to later areas. The player can use summon items to remove monster girls or use their stamina to run or warp their character to dodge monste girls. The player character can also hide in a locker which will cause almost all monster girls to leave the player alone (even if you do this right in front of them); the only exception appears to be the purple giant floating girl who will stay at the locker and never leave forcing the player to take a hit when they exit the locker.

Game currently consists of 4 areas each with increasing yields when praying at statues (but more and stronger monster girls show up). There are three statues types that can be prayed to for different benefits. The first grants you a summon item which can be used to summon a clone of your character which can remove a monster girl who touches it. The second increases your max stamina enabling you to run or use warps more often. The third statue type offers a healing item when prayed to. All statues have a limit to how long they can be prayed to at which point they offer their buff and disappear forcing the player to head to a new area to refresh the statue spawns; praying at a statue will increase the player's blessing score every few seconds which is used to open doors to new areas so the player still progresses even if they are constantly interrupted or forced to leave a statue site due to monstergirl spawns. There is a fourth statue that cannot be prayed to but saves your progress if interacted with.

But specifically:
X + direction = to warp in that direction (dodges a monster girl if timed correctly)
Ctrl = Use health potion to heal to full health.
Z = interact with statues, doors and save statue.

Got my eyes on this too, love the size difference stuff.

In a comment reply the devs also mentioned, once they've got a few more monsters out they'll look to release a demo.
 
Devs are getting closer to a demo release. Also the giant oni/ogre girl has her scene added, so don't watch the video if you don't want to spoil it for yourself.

 
Kind of seems like a rip off of Afterschool Tag, from the setting, protag design, gameplay elements (walking around as the clock ticks through the night), and some enemies (angel statue).

Not that I'm complaining, as that was a good game, and it looks like this one is adding its own original ideas, if not its own spin. The teleport and decoy mechanics look pretty interesting.
 
The demo's out. It's got about 3 monsters in it.

I had to use my older laptop to run it though, PGM does not seem to like windows 11 that much.
Edit: Also, anyone able to mod the timer to never pass 2am so you don't have to reset the game and sit through the barren 1am all over again?

It's been a while, nearly two months in fact. But the dev is back from the dead and has confirmed he's still working on this game.

There's 4 new monster girl types in the works, including the harpy from last update. They don't have animations yet but that's the next thing he's doing.
He's also pondering adding an anthro-style fox yokai or something similar to that.

right here if you wanna check them out.
 
I'll be watching this with some interest. Liked Tag After School quite a bit, and this seems to be in that same vein, so my curiosity has been grabbed.
 
So... It's been almost a year from the last comment, I completely forgot about this game as there's no thread in any other forum, but I see updates from this year on ci-en? Anyone knows anything about this?
 
There hasn't been a new demo since last year-- any posts on the main page just gives new art/animations they've been trying out.
 
game was renamed to monster girl town and has been released



Protag also underwent a redesign.

creator also changed his name to 404 studios

Game has been cracked is on filesharing websites.

save file below. Note that gallery can be unlocked on starting the game by just repeatedly pressing the lock button. I also beat the game by opening the 2000 point door and it just ends without any text. Didn't even count as winning either since the gallery was still locked.
