Meg's Monster is an absolute masterpiece of indie storytelling that catches you completely off-guard. At first glance, it feels like a cozy, humorous subversion of classic JRPG tropes: you play as an absurdly overpowered ogre named Roy who has 99,999 HP and takes virtually no damage. But the tactical genius—and emotional weight—kicks in when you realize your health bar doesn't matter at all. The real objective is keeping a lost little girl named Meg from crying, because if she does, her tears literally end the universe. This simple twist completely flips standard RPG strategy on its head; battles become a tense, creative balancing act of hitting enemies while aggressively using toys, executing mini-games, and doing whatever it takes to keep a toddler smiling.
What starts as a charming 'baby-sitting' dynamic quickly evolves into one of the most poignant, beautifully structured narratives available on mobile. Odencat's signature pixel art handles the tonal shifts flawlessly, capturing laugh-out-loud comedy in one scene and devastating emotional depth in the next. The character writing is phenomenal, transforming bizarre Underworld monsters into characters you will deeply care about. Supported by an incredible soundtrack and multiple endings that will easily push a grown gamer to tears, Meg's Monster sets a golden standard for how mechanics can perfectly mirror a narrative. It is short, tightly paced, and leaves a profound impact that will stay with you long after the final credits roll.
Unique battle system where protecting a fragile companion takes precedence over your own health.
A deeply emotional, narrative-driven experience filled with unpredictable plot twists and heart-wrenching scenarios.
Odencat's signature vibrant, retro-inspired pixel art design that turns terrifying monsters into lovable characters.
Optional sub-events that allow players to pursue deep backstories and actively befriend former enemies.
A beautifully composed, atmospheric soundtrack that perfectly accentuates both the humorous and melancholic moments of the journey.
To progress smoothly through the Underworld, players must realize that standard battle logic does not apply. Since Roy is effectively invincible, focus entirely on the turn timeline and upcoming enemy attacks targeting Meg. Use Roy's turns to execute unique defensive abilities or activate specific mini-games that utilize Meg's favorite toys. Keeping her pacified is your absolute priority, as allowing her fear meter to max out results in an instant game over.
As you traverse the distinct layers of the Underworld, do not rush through the core storyline. Take the time to track down and interact with previously defeated monsters. Engaging in these optional sub-events allows Roy and Meg to build deep character bonds, turning former foes into lifelong allies and uncovering essential world-building lore that completely recontextualizes the game's emotional narrative.
The core gameplay loop centers on turn-based tactical protection. Roy has 99,999 HP, meaning enemy attacks barely scratch him, but his partner Meg can only take a few shocks before crying. Combat tasks you with managing her emotional state by deploying items and executing specific environmental mini-games baked uniquely into every major encounter.
Exploration takes place across beautifully stylized pixel-art environments where players interact with a colorful cast of eccentric mutants. Progression is heavily tied to story milestones rather than traditional level-grinding, ensuring that the pacing remains tightly focused on narrative impact, emotional character growth, and puzzle-solving.
If Meg's fear meter fills completely, she begins to cry. Because her tears hold the apocalyptic power to tear the realm apart, her crying instantly triggers a world-ending event and results in an immediate game over.
i’ve played every odencat game except zelle so far and this is one of my FAVORITES. these games have always been amazing, from good music to fun gameplay, characters, and storylines. megs monsters plot twists are so interesting, as well as the storyline unraveling. i even cried 3 times while playing it lol! overall, your games are beautiful and amazing, even the older games. i love the throwbacks to previous games, like bears restaurant being mentioned in the comics. i’m so excited for wish upon a cat to come out!!! nowadays, good games that actually leave an impact on me are hard to find, but i will always be replaying odencat games 🫶
SO YOUR TELLING ME… there’s NOT MORE??!! 😭😭😭😭 I’m so sad! This was hands down the best game I think I’ve played, maybe ever, and I played final fantasy. I need more. I need SO much more. These are the kinds of stories that made me write MORE about a story because I couldn’t stand seeing it end and craved more of their story. I want to see megs life, and how after she figures it all out she somehow manages to find her way back. 😭😭😭😭
I did truly enjoy this game, in which I played during my flight. I played almost most of the game and it’s not bad. The storyline is solid, the art is impressive, but I do not like the moving mechanic. I feel like you could add an option for their to be a joystick. Besides that, the game is solid. But I can’t help but feel like this game isn’t at full potential. I know this game is probably far from done but I feel like it was just missing something - something that was would push this game to its fullest potential. Like maybe a special character or like a bit of humor. Overall this is a good game, I just can’t give it full stars.
this game might’ve been my all-time favorite. With the absolutely amazing structural story, not including the style of the game is one of my favorites. But with the soundtrack and the characters, both endings were truly amazing. This game absolutely touched me, lol funny to admit, almost made a grown man cry, but this is absolutely amazing. 🚀🌷
This game was great it took me abt four five days to play through taking my time, but it was thoroughly enjoyable. I enjoyed the character development and the speed was decent for a phone game, the details and animation overall was great I enjoyed it!
I can’t even fathom in words how beautiful this game is, the art style, music and vibe work together so well to create such a beautiful aesthetic. I fear no other game will ever live up to the feelings I felt when playing this game.
how i manage to get tears in my eyes from playing a mobile game i have no clue but to say i’m obsessed would be an understatement because of just how good this game and the rest of odencat’s games are
It’s a awesome RPG game and gives undertale vibes, it’s really surprising a game like this is free. I haven’t gotten far yet and I already plan on buying the dlc. I’m really surprised a game like this is free and I believe is worth the ads
