Build-A-Monster
Build-A-Monster is a text-based interactive narrative about a magician/scientist trying to build a monster while their friends bother them to take breaks. It is part monster-dress-up room, part friend-dating simulator, and all how-not-to-deal-with-loss advice column.

the story is pretty good, and the choices are as well, a real choose your own adventure type, however, the lack of art and the bland black background and white text kinda make the experience boring if you keep at it to check out what you make, however, you never really see what you've made at all.
I definitely like this game and if it has a bit more of added artwork and stuff, it'd be in one of my most favorite games, did kinda feel blue balled when I couldn't see my creation though, made the skeleton Mechanical, (the 2nd one I forgot the name of) out of Plant magic, and lastly, I used Necromancy for the skin, really wish I got to saw it.
The story really drags u in, incredibly emotional.
This was incredibly emotional, and I know I relate a little to much to it. Thank you for making this, it was lovely.
This game really resonated with me emotionally
I was very touched by the fact that your friends still stuck around even if you decline to join them for a few outings. Thank you for making this ;w;
Maybe the real monsters are the friends we make on our way... wait, no.
Maybe the real way is to make monster with our friends... argh, still not right.
Maybe the real friend are the monster we make on our way. YES, that's it.
this was incredibly touching. thank you for making it.
I was not expecting to cry when I installed this game. I have only completed one play through, but I will definitely be coming back to this.
I think about this game about once a month, and I feel its advice beaming into me.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad the game had such a strong impact.
i think the only thing i can say is, wow! i really felt immersed in that and i hope you continue to make games
Thank you! That means a lot to hear.
