Our take on Meg's Monster
The defining constraint is Meg’s tears: Roy starts with 99,999 HP, but one crying spell ends the game, making her protection the central battle concern.
What is Meg's Monster?
Meg’s Monster is a short, story-driven JRPG set in an Underworld inhabited by monsters and mutants.
Players control Roy, an ogre who must escort Meg home and locate her mother. Roy begins with 99,999 HP, making Meg’s safety the central concern: if she starts crying, the game ends. Battles include special mechanics and mini-games, with Meg’s favorite toys used to keep her calm. The journey introduces colorful characters, mysteries about the Underworld, and optional events that can turn defeated enemies into friends. Its story begins with Roy and Meg’s search for her mother before expanding into questions about their identities and surroundings.
How Meg's Monster plays
- 01Meg Protection
- A crying Meg ends the game, so battles require attention to her emotional state rather than Roy’s survival alone.
- 02Battle Mini-Games
- Encounters include added mechanics and short interactive challenges instead of relying only on standard commands.
- 03Toy-Based Pacification
- Meg’s preferred toys can be used during the journey to keep her from becoming distressed.
- 04Optional Enemy Friendships
- Some defeated foes can become friends through optional story events.
Meg's Monster compared to similar games
Meg’s Monster centers on guiding a vulnerable child through a story-driven JRPG with battle mini-games and optional friendships with defeated enemies. Back to the Dawn instead focuses on prison survival, investigation, crime, and escape, while Ghost of a Tale emphasizes exploration, stealth, disguises, and conversations. Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition is another story-focused RPG, but its description centers on unconventional characters and exploration rather than protecting a child during combat.
