About MONSTERLAY

You've come face to face with a monster. Will you fight on for victory, or make a shameless request? Meet a variety of characters and discover their reactions and stories through the choices you make.

MONSTERLAY is an adult dark fantasy visual novel for Windows. Battle through short attack and defense minigames, and collect the illustrated scenes you unlock during encounters to revisit in the gallery whenever you like.

Explore the Monster Repository

Leaving your physical body behind, you transfer your consciousness into cyberspace and arrive at the Monster Repository, a place where beings from countless worlds gather. Choose an unfamiliar region and follow the signals on your presence detector. You won't know who is waiting at the next signal until you meet them.

From goblins and demons to cyborgs and strange otherworldly beings, each encounter brings a different appearance and personality. Discover each character's voice, attitude, and reactions through dialogue and illustrations. Your choices reveal the stories behind their unsettling first impressions.

Fight, choose, and collect

There is more to an encounter than reading. Attack and fight for victory, flee when the danger becomes too great, or choose Beg to discover a different side of your opponent. Short challenges involving timing, aiming, memory, and evasion determine the effectiveness of your attacks and defenses. Begging also costs health, so you must decide whether to pursue victory or follow your curiosity.

Scene cards earned during encounters build a collection in each character's gallery. Revisit stories you own, or meet a chosen character again in Free Mode and continue your collection. Adjust the reading speed and the way images and dialogue are displayed, and unlock the BeatFap image-viewing mode as you progress.

The growing cast

The game currently features 35 characters. We release 1–2 updates and add at least 4 new characters each month.

Each character comes with over 50 CG images. For most characters, we aim to provide around 20 scripted scenes and approximately 800 lines of dialogue and narration.

This free edition includes 19 playable characters. The Patreon edition includes 35 playable characters.
