Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp is a 2020 visual novel developed and published by Beautiful Glitch. Players attempt to romance monsters, as in the previous game in the series, Monster Prom.

Gameplay

Each player controls a young adult monster. After choosing which character to play as and various items that can give bonuses, players compete to romance a non-player character monster.[1] There are five areas. In each one, players attempt to solve various over-the-top problems that affects the group, such as how to escape a serial killer[2] or a wilderness survival scenario in which a character insists players drink their own urine.[3] Players' choices affect how the other monsters see them and often result in black humor.[2] Players can optionally tone down the game's emphasis on various potential triggers, such as sex and drug use.[4] Up to four players can compete, or a single player can play alone.[5]

Development

Beautiful Glitch, a Spanish indie developer,[5] crowd-funded Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp in May 2019.[6] The campaign raised a total of $600K, twenty times the amount of Monster Prom.[7] Compared to Monster Prom, Beautiful Glitch said Monster Camp "feels more mature" and has a "clearer and more consistent" style. Development took about 18 months.[8] Beautiful Glitch released it for Windows on October 23, 2020.[5] They rushed to an October release to avoid extended delays due to holidays.[8] They ported it to the Switch on February 14, 2022.[5]
