Hentai Game Look: Monster Girl Dreams

I've definitely been off reservation, so to speak, if it's taken me this long to find out about this one:




This is Monster Girl Dreams.  It's a (mostly) text-based battlefucker with sexy succubi and monster girls.  It's still in development.  Some of the characters have art sprites, but for the later encounters you currently have to make do with text descriptions only.

I like it because it's very close to what I'd do if organised and focused enough to make a monster girl hentai game.  The combat is reminiscent of the original Monster Girl Quest, but with the restraint status expanded into a number of sex stances the player needs to struggle out of before their arousal hits max (or not, if you just want to enjoy yourself).

And those monster girls have a lot of sexy tricks.  My favourite is probably the succubus kunoichi encountered in the mountain stage.  She has a lot of different ways to erotically drain your energy and different Bad Ends depending on whether she depletes your final point of spirit (which she will) with her mouth, tits or pussy.  A fun encounter and well-written as well.




This optional alraune boss at the end of the first stage also has a lot of different moves and is rather enjoyable to fight lose to.




The game is fairly lighthearted in comparison to Monster Girl Quest.  You don't need to worry about some of the nastier Bad End consequences as the main character is equipped with a magic teleport stone to yoink them out of danger before the shrivelled-up mummy stage of succubus draining.

It's still very early in development, but I've liked what I've seen so far.  The free demo can be obtained from the developer's (Threshold?) Patreon and they update their progress on their blog here.

Fairly promising.  I look forward to seeing how this one progresses.

(I also need to pull my thumb out of my ass and get back to working on my own text-based hentai game stuff!)

  1. I'm happy you like the game!
    Though I won't lie, I was expecting a scathing critique. xD

    Have to say I also enjoy your works, and I definitely look forward to the next cyoa hentai game you make. I really loved Volumpula.

    3. I gotta say i'm very surprised with this game...i never had the courage to buy an erotic game so when i saw it was free i decided to give it a go...

      I really love that there are plenty of monster girls with personality here and that at one point or another they come off as heartfelt and caring without being boring.

      it is such a simple thing but being able to talk with some of the girls about how they feel about the main character and their relationship really allow for them to flourish.

      i look forward to how this game will develop in the future.

  2. I've been a fan of this one for... nearly a year now, I think. When it started out, there were no pictures for any of the monstergirls, just text descriptions. Now, at least almost half have fairly high quality pictures.

    The encounters themselves are also pretty fun. Most Monstergirls are geared mostly toward one or two main fetishes (usually focusing on a particular bodypart,) but they usually have at least a few scenes geared toward other fetishes too. The main fetishes covered are oral, 'normal' sex (which in a game of this type...) anal, and breasts. But there's also stuff like kissing, feet, pain, (and Monstrous, which covers additions you wouldn't find in real life, like tails with mouths,) and others snuck in. The above qualify as weaknesses your character can acquire by losing to a monstergirl that fits that type of fetish.

    You're also supposed to be able to make mods, bit beyond me honestly, and there's mods available on the Monster Girl Dreams Wiki, but I couldn't figure out how to install them. Guess I did a step wrong in the instructions. Still, the normal game is fun enough with tons of content coming in regularly that I feel no real loss yet. Not many mods at the moment, so I'm not yet motivated to figure out how to get them to work properly.

    1. Moddable is a pretty good call. I think a challenge for these games is how to include the more 'marmite' fetishes. I think it's definitely best to go full crazy and give players the option to remove the stuff they don't like than trying to please everyone.
