Wouldst thou liketh to ponder some monsters? Perchance a sharp-fanged vampire under a pale moon? A strong-armed kraken from the endless depth of the ocean? A furry creature with claws and glowing eyes who haunts the forest at night?
Behold! This story-making game has many a monster for you to ponder.
Some are drawn in black coal*. Some are sketched in sparse words. All of them may fill your mind with questions about the monster you are hunting.
Questions like:
What sound tells you the monster is near?
What particular strength do you have? What about it is disturbing?
How is the monster beautiful?
And finally:
When the monster faces you in the end: do you really attack it?
(*Well, technically, they are drawn by a human moving a plastic pencil across a computing machine, but let's go with the vibe here.)
Alas! This assortment of monstrous art and questions and a simple explanation for how to play the game can only become a reality if we gather the coins to make it so.
If thou wouldst liketh to be a part of this collective collecting effort, you must maketh your way to the place called "Kicke-Starter" where you may pledge your coins until the first day of March.
We shall await you there under the banner that proclaims "Against the Monster!" Which should not lead you astray in thinking that we are not still a friend to monsters. Well, some of them.
