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.

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.
