NEWS | Odencat Inc.'s Epic Retro-Inspired JRPG, Meg's Monster, Set to Launch in March

JAPAN-based indie game developer and publisher Odencat Inc. is preparing for the release of their epic, stylized, and retro turn-based Japanese role-playing game (JRPG), Meg's Monster, in the West on March 2, 2023. After two years of development, Odencat Inc. promises that Meg's Monster will be one of their most ambitious releases to date, complete with multi-language options.

The game's story follows two unlikely friends, a nigh-invincible monster named Roy and a fragile human child with apocalyptic powers named Meg. Players must use Roy to protect Meg and defeat enemies as they journey through a world full of mutants and monsters who eat humans for breakfast. Meg's tears can bring forth the apocalypse, so players must keep her happy and prevent her from crying to avoid the end of the world.

Meg's Monster boasts a unique, raw, scripted, turn-based battle system that adds to the game's challenging yet amusing retro-style presentation. The game has already created waves in its homeland, with its wishlist on PC growing fast, thanks to amazing community support and building anticipation as the release date approaches.

The game has attracted acclaimed talent, including Reo Uratani and Laura Shigihara, who worked on titles Hi-Fi Rush and Deltarune respectively, contributing their expertise to Meg’s Monster's soundtrack. Over 50,000 words of dialogue give a rich and compelling narrative to the game's battles, and each battle has its own unique mechanics and minigames to master.

As the release date approaches, Meg's Monster is generating excitement and anticipation in the gaming community, with its innovative battle system, beautiful pixel art, and majestic soundtrack promising an unforgettable gaming experience for JRPG fans. — Geeks Republika
