Meg’s Monster

Meg’s Monster is a narrative RPG by Odencat. It centers on the mighty underworld inhabitant Roy and the lost girl Meg. Roy wants to bring her back to her mother, because Meg’s tears could destroy the entire underworld.

The adventure combines classic pixel graphics and turn-based battles with a story about the unusual friendship between a monster and a human child.

Meg’s Monster released on Mar 2, 2023 for PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. The iOS and Android versions followed on May 7, 2026. For PlayStation 5, the game releases on Mar 1, 2027.

The PS5 version is set to be offered together with the additional story Lost Memories and a Complete Edition.

Meg’s Monster is available for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, iOS and Android. According to Steam, the PC version runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. A PS5 version releases on Mar 1, 2027.

The Xbox One version can also be played on Xbox Series X|S, but has no separately confirmed native Series release. On smartphones, the adventure is adapted for portrait mode with touch controls.

Battles run turn-based. Roy starts with 99,999 HP and can hold his own against most enemies. However, if Meg loses her composure and starts crying, the battle is lost regardless of Roy’s strength.

So you don’t just have to attack, but calm Meg with suitable actions and small tasks. Toys and special mechanics of individual battles replace the usual focus on the main character’s hit points.

Lost Memories adds five short stories to Meg’s Monster that take place before the main game. They shed light on the backstory of various characters and give additional insight into the underworld.

The expansion has been released for PC, Switch and Xbox One and is part of the mobile version on iOS and Android. Odencat has also announced a Complete Edition for PS5 with the main game and expansion.

For the Windows version, Steam lists a minimum of a 2 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM and 200 MB storage. DirectX or OpenGL 2.1 is given as the graphics requirement.

macOS and Linux are also supported. The respective minimum requirements are listed on the official Steam page.

Roy lives with his friend Golan in an underworld full of monsters. When they find Meg, they quickly realize how dangerous her sadness can become for all inhabitants. Roy therefore tries to protect the child from danger and find the way home.

On the journey, the two meet various characters whose stories gradually change the relationship between Roy and Meg. Additional encounters even let you get to know a former opponent better later on.

Along with Roy and Meg, Golan plays an important role. As the story progresses, you get to know more inhabitants of the underworld, who are not always clearly divided into friends and enemies.

Optional events deepen some encounters. They show additional sides of the characters and give the comparatively short story more room.

Since May 7, 2026, Meg’s Monster can also be played on iOS and Android. Odencat has adapted the controls for portrait mode and simple touch input.

The story can be played via in-app purchases or an ad-supported unlock. The additional episodes from Lost Memories are included in the mobile version.

Meg’s Monster uses colorful 2D pixel graphics that show both the menacing underworld and its often surprisingly friendly inhabitants.

The soundtrack was composed by Reo Uratani. The main theme features vocals and lyrics by Laura Shigihara. Music and staging accompany the emotional development of the story.

The PC version offers German on-screen text and subtitles. Steam also lists English, Japanese, French, Italian, Korean and Spanish, among others.
