Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp is what happens when you mix a dating sim with a party game, spike it with absurdist humor, and set it all around a cursed summer camp full of monsters. A standalone sequel to Monster Prom, it swaps high school angst for wilderness chaos without losing the biting wit or the deeply chaotic energy fans loved.

And yes, it's still gloriously weird, unapologetically queer, and one of the funniest games you can play with (or against) friends.

You play as a love-hungry teenage monster hoping to score a summer fling with one of five datable monstrosities:

-Dahlia, a battle-hardened demon who turns workouts into warzones

-Milo, a non-binary death reaper slash influencer

-Joy, a witch with a tragic backstory and even more tragic exes

-Aravi, a buff adventurer with PTSD from dungeon-crawling

-Calculester, a wholesome robot trying to understand emotions

Each run lasts about 30-60 minutes, as you make choices through a series of increasingly ridiculous scenarios to win your crush's heart before camp ends.

The game plays like a board game crossed with a choose-your-own-adventure novel:

-Choose a location each day (lake, woods, campfire, etc.)

-Engage in hilarious, branching events where your stats and personality influence the outcome

-Make choices that build your stats — Boldness, Charm, Fun, Creativity, Smarts — and hopefully lead to romance

There’s a lot of trial and error, but that’s the point. You’re meant to fail spectacularly, laugh through the absurdity, and try again.

The heart of Monster Camp lies in its writing. It’s razor-sharp, unapologetically horny, and packed with satire that lampoons everything from toxic masculinity to corporate branding, all through the lens of monster metaphors.

What makes it work isn’t just the jokes (which hit more than they miss), but the sincerity buried underneath. These characters are ridiculous, but they’re also complex, self-aware, and deeply relatable.

There’s a lot of dialogue — but it’s rarely boring. And the narrator? Pure comedic gold.

Compared to Monster Prom, Monster Camp introduces:

-New locations and events themed around summer camp tropes

-Weather system that adds randomness to events

-New items and shop mechanics with powerful — or cursed — effects

-More inclusive character options (pronouns, body types, romance options)

-It's a more polished, focused sequel — not a reinvention, but a worthwhile evolution.

Where this game shines brightest is in multiplayer. You and up to 3 friends compete or cooperate to seduce your monster crushes. The mix of laughter, sabotage, and awkward flirting creates moments that feel like a chaotic improv show. And yes — the game still roasts you mercilessly for failing.

Downsides? A Few:

-If you’re not into reading, this probably isn’t for you — it’s text-heavy and story-driven

-Some event randomness can feel unfair (though it’s part of the fun)

-While it has great variety, you might see repeated content after a dozen or so runs

Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp is more than a dating sim. It’s a hilarious, inclusive, and endlessly replayable party game disguised as a visual novel. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, it manages to be both absurd and heartfelt — a rare combo.

If you like queer romance, sharp writing, and chaotic good energy, this camp is worth every mosquito bite.

Love is messy. Monsters are messier. Summer camp was never this unhinged.

Rating: 9/10

These games are so goooood! I was sceptical when a friend first told me about them but they are such fun and insane dating sims. I love them all!
