About

Always Sometimes Monsters is an indie adventure RPG published and developed by Vagabond Dog that released on May 20, 2014. This single-player title focuses on relationships and emotional bonds instead of traditional combat or adventuring mechanics. Players can choose from characters with different genders, races, and sexual preferences to experience unique hardships based on those selections. The narrative centers on a protagonist who is broke, heartbroken, and facing eviction while their beloved plans to marry someone else. The gameplay offers complete freedom in choices, where every decision carries consequences that unfold down the line. One playthrough takes about nine hours for the main story, extending to eleven hours with extras or thirteen hours for completionists. The experience presents life-or-death options alongside subtle conversation choices that create a staggering number of diverging paths. Indecision is presented as an enemy while empathy serves as a weapon in the quest to win back love. The game deals with serious subjects including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, mental health issues, sexual assault, child abuse, animal abuse, drug abuse, and suicide. These topics are woven into the story-driven experience without traditional combat elements. The open road setting allows players to handle whatever life throws at them in a quest that is entirely up to their choices.Read more

A convincing examination of player choice set in an all-too-realistic modern world.

Always Sometimes Monsters isn't the first game to get clever with morality. It's not the first game that's had a few grey areas. It also isn't about either of those. It's about perspective. It's about empathy. It's about who we are and why we do what we do. That narrative is one of contradiction and hypocrisy, because that's what real people are about.
