About Always Sometimes Monsters
You're broke, heartbroken, and desperate to win back your ex before they marry someone else—so you hit the open road and make a series of morally complex choices that will define who you become. Your decisions in conversations and actions reshape the narrative based on your character's gender, race, and sexuality, creating a deeply personal story where empathy and ethical choices matter more than combat.

Out of money and out of luck you find yourself heart broken and on the verge of collapse. Your landlord's taken the key back, you can't finish your manuscript, and your beloved is marrying someone else. With no choice but to handle whatever life throws at you, you set out on the open road on a mission to win back the love of your life. The story from there is up to you. Can your life be salvaged, or are we always sometimes monsters?
Choice
A story-driven experience focusing on relationships and emotional bonds rather than traditional RPG combat and adventuring. Indecision is your enemy and empathy is your weapon in a quest to earn one last chance to win back the love of your life.
Circumstance
Choose from characters of different gender, race, and sexual preference and live through the common experiences and unique hardships of each based on your selection. NPCs may treat you differently based on your gender, race, or sexual preference opening and closing different paths along the way.
Consequence
Each playthrough is filled with a staggering number of diverging paths that can be discovered through both overt actions and subtle choices in conversation. The journey you experience will be tailored to your personal ethical compass as your decisions both conscious and subconscious change your fate.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Always Sometimes Monsters is a narrative-driven indie RPG that offers thought-provoking writing and meaningful choices with charm and ambition, though it's structured more as a contemplative walking simulator with relationship dialogue rather than traditional gameplay. Players are divided: some find the pacing slow and tedious with story elements that take too long to develop, while others consider it a hidden gem with memorable writing and themes that stay with them long after playing.
I feel the same about this game, that Peter Griffin feels about "The Godfather."2 found this helpful
so bad its like all the worst parets of a kevin smith movie. all the boring relationship talk i guess if you know your going into an indie romance movie walking sim. ppl like me played 10 hrs! thinking the story would finally start.... 2/10 nah 1 ... yeah 12 found this helpful
an RPG maker game from 2014 that has great ambitions and surprisingly thought-provoking writing and gameplay. Centering on themes of choice and consequence, your player character is actually the third person you control: after a framing cutscene, Larry is having a party and is about to select a writer whom to make publishing deal with (thats you). Whomever he drinks with is you and before committing to the deal, you visit the patio to select your significant other (its fully supportive of gay choices as both genders, just be wary as SOME characters will now have extra lines with some pretty harsh language, n-word and f-slur included). At this party are also a few of the recurring characters on our journey, like Larry and his wife, Darkeff and Viper, and the self inserted writers from the Vagabond Dog. the journey proper begins over a year later--you have broken up with your other, have failed to deliver on the book deal, and your scant advances dry up along with employment in Dubstown, the first area. you become homeless on the first day (unless you can pull some tricks to get 500 bucks in a day, not impossible but not easy) and in the mail the next day, along with your last che…1 found this helpful
this was a game that has been rattling in my head since 2014 as a few vague scenes, but i'd think about them pretty frequently. i never got around to playing it myself until super recently, and enjoyed it A LOT. i expect i will return to it after i finish playing the sequel. there are so many things that catch my interest with this game in ways i'm not sure i can fully articulate. the writing, some of the off-the-wall jokes, even the art style is dripping with so much charm. it's a hidden gem that i think more people should experience. my only real complaints have to do with the hunger and money systems, but this is probably just due to user error since i wasn't fully connecting with them to my best ability. i'd have to play the game more to find out if that's the case. highly, highly recommend this game.
Enjoyed it.
this games great i loved the mini games and gameplay. i find myself thinking about this game alot i think i might pick up the 2nd one.
