HELP!!! I Got Lost and Found A VILLAGE That's Full of... MONSTERS!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Version : 0.7.1 - Repairs and Reparations
Hey!
If you're reading this then I guess that means you found my journal that I left behind. I was surprised too when I found out about the place. A village full of monsters? Who could've expected this, especially in our world where monsters are considered dangerous and need to be constantly monitored. Survival of the fittest... I guess.
There are so many faces that really caught my attention and I think you would like them too! Not only they helped me with myself but each have their own thing that make them feel like they are more than just "Monsters in a Forest".
Let me introduce you to...
A-Anyway! I left my journal behind hoping you can learn more about this amazing village and well... I won't spoil you for what happens next. I gotta keep you on your toes, after all. You can trust them and you need to help them in the future too. I've told my story, now I want you to pass it on and keep my story alive.
Not for my sake, but for the Monster Village.

I love this game. Runan's route is very heavy and deep but I love it.
Spoiler....
Though now im worried about the elder's housekeeper. Since the little guy went insane and wants the admiral dead. I feel for him, since he lost someone dear. It's even more worrying when he says if he goes with you and the person you choose will the admiral die too. And the image is icing on the cake. Hugs to the little house keeper.
really bad choice on my part for deciding to play this at 1am. I really need sleep but I only got 1 route done :(
silly me thinking I can do 3 routes before going to bed
koku spoiler
valid crashout tbh
garu that's not how you help your son lmao. koku's disassociating and garu's here like
considering what happened in the last update, I did assume correctly that Joseph's is the heaviest one out of all the routes. That said, I still was not prepared for it
Why is it only now I find out you specifically aren't allowed to name yourself 'Sans'
Edit: it even comes with the 'nope.' that you get if you try the same thing in Undertale
If you do, you would have a bad time
I have a question, is there any way to know the size or height of the characters shown in feet or meters?
Spoilers, I guess? They're vague, and hardly up to date, but beware anyways!
I gotta say, Leia and Nasher would make for great additions to the datable roster. They'd make for some nice variety, and they both have good story potential. Obviously a story centered on Nasher would be rife with drama, considering what he contributed to in Runan's story, and as for Leia...
She alludes to some terrible event in her past that leads her to distrust humans. She's also been in a relationship before, one that didn't last. Earning her trust would be a feat and a half, and thinking about the feels that could be unpacked there has me really interested. Heck if I know if she'd even be eligible for a spot on the datable roster -- it's a bit presumptuous of me to assume that an expansion will ever be on the table, let alone that the only lady in the game would be allowed on it. But I thought I'd put my two cents on the table anyways.
SPOILER WARNING
Nash is Ace (prolly Aro/Ace?) and you find it out in the Runan route.
Really? I have no memory of this. I must have missed it somewhere.
Though I don't necessarily think that would preclude a storyline centered on Nasher from working, or even getting NSFW. Asexual and Aromantic aren't the same thing, and it's my understanding that some ace folks find fulfillment in sex as a means of bonding. Could be I've been mislead, of course.
If it's specifically stated that he's Aromantic, that would make it much harder to work.
I hope we get a chance to slap Jo's ass. He beens doing to us, but i want to see his reactions when we do the same tricks on him
Yo I was just surfing through internet and suddenly there's an update lol...
is there any way to know what evidence or what question is right i am pretty bad at this :(
there is a guide:
https://rodablackfang.itch.io/monster-village-vn/devlog/799985/chapter-3-guide-s...
SPOILER!
This..
hits hard, man! And the music that plays and then plays again in reverse! You made me forgot it was a "haha funny monster-boyfriend game". AND OH MY GOD, POOR JIN!
P.S. Sorry, I thought Itch.io has some proper way to hide spoilers. It does not.
Spoiler(i think, though still don't wanna ruin anything)
Not gonna lie im worried the palico will do something. The way he says it sounds like hes going to kill the admiral. Also i loved the music myself too.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Oh right! Monster Hunter Wilds will be released in the next few days, so you all can probably expect us to play it. So uhhh... Next update will be a while again.
Though, the next update will finally feature some sexual scenes that one of you has been waiting for. Or all... At this point, I really should utilize DaSinBun's amazing talent. That is why I had to make some adjustments to the SFW tag. The next update will be finishing up chapter 4, and the entrance to the last chapter. MHVN is almost over... Well, the story at least.
When we do release 1.0, we will then work on 2.0, which is going to be the final output, along with some dialogue checking, sprite edits, UI polishes, etc. I have already worked on changing the gallery, but that's gonna be for next update.
Anyway, that is all for now!
This is just to set expectations cause during Dec 2024 - Jan 2025, a lot are worried about us. While we did go through a lot in the past few months, we just want to assure everything is fine, we just wanted to take our time considering the topic we are portraying, just so we do not offend those who are going through grief in real life. We want to represent it in a proper manner, both the positives... and the negatives. And we do hope that message came across properly and I hope you all enjoy the development of the characters.
So while waiting for 0.8, rest assured this will take a while again to make it feel more natural. I did want to add more to 0.7 in terms of story, but I couldn't help myself to give a little... cliffhanger. I mean... for those following this game for a while now, ya'll should already know it's normal XD.
Anyway, I wanted to reassure everyone, that while we do not update as frequently as other VNs, we are doing our best to at least deliver equal care, love, and attention to all routes at the same time. Not to mention weave an overarching story that is both captivating and silly.
Now go play Monster Hunter wilds.
SPOILER!
Can we take a moment to appreciate this overall quote from Runan's route: "Cook for someone not because you want them to love you, but because you love them". That really stuck with me all day. Made me love this guy so much more (Love Jin too though). And, apparently, Runan's hands are the size of half the MC's forearm? Perfect hand holding size diff if you ask me <3
Looking forward to the next chapter, despite that cliffhanger making me anxious now. If we gotta testify again, does that mean Ace Attorney 2.0? lol Keep up the fantastic work!
Oh man, this update sure was heavy on the emotions. Witnessing all of those events made my heart feel heavy, but man, it's a testament to how good the story is so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Scriviner continues to become closer to each of the True Wyverians!
This may be me going off on my own thoughts, but I'm still not sure why I keep imagining the Scriviner saying something like this somewhere in the story, though. Maybe in an alternate time...?
Fire Emblem Engage spotted
I see you are man of taste
This VN is absolute PEAK, spent all night playing through a couple paths. Each one is absolutely stellar and god I can't wait to see what comes next. Many times in VN's like these there's one or two favorites ill have while i unfortunately leave the rest in the dust but god so far I've loved every one fo these. If I had to pick a favorite though, Jo has been stellar, love that pickle to bits. Runan too has been a loveable Dork and Leo has so much charm
No spoilers in comments without spoiler tag
Despite the *ähem* ending of this update. i am glad that the game is changing location to show the actual hunters guild .
The one thing that rubbed me the wrong way in this game was the rather bad reprensentation of the hunters guild in general. like when they say that on average that hunters look down on Scout/Scriveners, that is something i never saw in the games, all jobs were treated there with respect.
Maybe the game has also now a chance to show to a true Wyverian how important hunters are instead of continuing with the "bad crazy people with weapons" rhetoric.
Also please excuse my grammar or if i got something wrong. english isnt my first language.
i personally think this is an acceptable lore violation. I belive the main purpose of this is to explain why our Scrivener was at disadvantage during the previous update, and his eventual prevail would feel more earned.
Plus, different villages have different guilds with their own ethics. So... eh?
I know that with the current release, and the sad chapters we've gotten recently, I really hesitate to ask... but when are lewd scenes planned .-.
I kinda feel ashamed for asking such a question :/
Maybe the lewd scenes were the friends we made along the way
Okay, I might as well share this but next update.
Oh, thanks for the... entire honesty :D
Although I should clarify my question, lewd with each route or just in general?
Released a small update bug fix
https://rodablackfang.itch.io/monster-village-vn/devlog/888524/small-update-071
I'm going to have severe anxiety after this cliffhanger
NEW VERSION DROP LETS GO, TIME TO BECOME A THERAPIST FOR MY BOI RIDGE
omg?? new update! I'm coming Runannn♥
Holy Cinema
How many chapters are planned?
Since we are past the halfway point, so expect at most 2 more chapters. I cannot say more than that but that also means we are getting closer to 1.0
Thanks for making this great game! Ridge best boy!
I feel dumb for asking this but does that mean that once 1.0 releases Monster Village will be officially finished?
In a way. 1.0 means the story is finished, but 2.0 is the goal, which is basically updated sprites, updated BG, some UI changes, and even updating the game itself. Though there wont be a set schedule after 1.0 since we want to take our time perfecting the rehaul.
Got it. Thanks for the reply.
Ok i just finished and uhhh
Yea. Good update, ummm
Cant wait for the next one...
*SPOILER ALERT* Hopefully I did it right, if not please remove the comment.
Holy crap! That final shot creeped me out! I can't tell if the Housekeeper wants me/us dead or the Admiral.
SPOILER!
he wants the admiral dead, He has no reason to want us dead, since we were the ones who defended the village. The court's judgment is about the Admiral being arrested or not, but since he was the one who killed the Elder, so the Housekeeper wants revenge.
SPOILER!
Right?? I was just now playing at night and it actually made me jump a bit im still a bit shaken by it, but damn it is a simple but really really good portrayal of its grief driven madness and i hope we can choose to let it have the revenge it wants tbh.
Ooooh yeah. *spoiler*
He definitly gave me crazy mass murderer vibe, like he is going to explode a load of large barrels in the hunters guild.
So...
My old saves doesn't work...
I have to play it from the beginning....
Like the last time.....
Again....
HECK YEAH!!! 🤟😄😄
I assume you're...excited, right? If so, you might've got me in the first half.
Hehe. Excited yes, nervous also yes.
Anyway time to go back to the game. 👋
i do have a bit of a QoL suggestion. I do intend on going through each route but it does get a tad confusing to go through all the saves, i wonder if it would be possible to put a monster icon to each LI's corresponding monster i.e koku has a dodogama icon and ridge gets a tigrex icon
Hmm, now that you mention it, having multiple save files on hand does tend to get confusing after a while (I tend to keep one page of saves per character, but even I had a feeling that wouldn't be enough). A way to differentiate them might help.
But I think it's got me wondering about another thing:
With how far along the story is now, it kinda makes me wonder if a Chapter Select system could be implemented, if that's even remotely possible...
a chapter select is possible as the smoke room and killigan's treasure vns implements them. as for how to apply that feature, i dont know anything about that.
Thanks for this suggestion!
I started looking into ways to do this and I am able to find a way to put your dateable's icon on the save file itself. Here is hoping I don't break the game while testing :> At least... not any more than I should have...
oh this is so cute, and perfect.
fellas, im scared.
If it's due to the heavy emotions lingering in the air, I certainly understand. But if we are to see Leo, Jin, Joseph, Ridge, Koku and Runan smile again, then you know what must be done...
Me too buddy, me too.
Same here. ;-;
I think it goes without saying that there should be no spoilers here in the public comment section without spoiler tags.
im lowkey afraid to touch the game after the last update 😬
Oh, man, the next update is out? I've gotta see this!
oh hey, its Rinwell!
Haha, so you're Tales of player, too? I suppose you know the scene where this picture is from, right?
My knowledge of Japanese role playing games is vast and deep ^_^
Tales of Arise is one if the worst Tales Of games in my humble and totally not objective opinion, so unfortunately yes, i know
But thats a discussion for a different comment section I suppose
I know it's a bit silly to ask this now, but when the game is finished developing, will they translate it into more languages? I'm a Spanish speaker and I loved the game, and I would like to be able to play it in Spanish (I'm not asking for it, it's just my opinion)
I know I can't speak for the devs, but I think I remember them mentioning that they likely don't have the resources nor the experience to translate the game into another language as of yet.
Even if they could, you might find yourself waiting longer than you would expect, if at all.
For a game like this I can wait until 2030 :v
i played through all the routes, and i loved your omage to phoenix write for the trial. But out of all the men, i ended up getting attached to koku alot more than i expected. I love that chubby blue dragon.
I would really like if koku's dad got content for himself, even if is just a little bit more, maybe even been able to get intimate with him... Now i'm just imaginating things...
I'm sure we can develop a much grander rapport with Garu in Koku's path.
But... Well, umm... Considering that Garu's significantly older than Koku, scenes of intimacy with the father might be pushing it... Joseph notwithstanding.
Is there any date for the next chapter, I JUST WANTED TO MARRY JOSEPH 😭😭😭💔💔
I remember them saying hopefully by the end of this week, so you might not have to wait long.
I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the game and was curious if there was a way I could look over the script released so far? There are a handful of grammatical errors and typos especially in chapter 3 and I'd be interested in trying my hand at proofreading it in my spare time!
I agree with the handful of grammatical errors.
Unfortunately, we cannot release the script entirely since it includes some spoilers for the following chapters (like Sprite WIPS or some comments). However, we appreciate any proofreading and grammatical corrections since, despite us trying our best, English isn't our strong suit... We apologize if errors take away from the experience, but we plan on proofreading as much as possible when reaching 0.9 - 1.0. For now, our focus is mainly on the plot, characters, and a few surprises here and there.
In the meantime, you can always leave grammatical corrections on our devlogs (This is to ensure that we know where this grammatical error started).
Also, I would just like to add since we prefer our game to be fully blind (so that everyone has an equal chance of enjoying the game), it's mostly me (Roda) and Dasinbun to proofread. And reading the same things over and over does make it difficult to find these mistakes. :(
I was looking just for a transcription of what's in the publicly released game so far, not for anything you're still working on. I've done two runs and intend to finish the story with the other characters as well, and when I finished I was gonna take a closer look at the text and start rooting out typos.
I totally understand, though. I don't want to impose myself on your workflow, and I'm also not looking to get sneak peeks or spoilers or anything. It's just that this game's story and the characters have hooked me and I want to see it be the best it can be, and understand how looking at the same stuff over and over can make it easy to miss mistakes. I'm eagerly awaiting the coming updates!
im trying to go through and finish the cg gallery, but i cant find the first Jin CG, after his biography and the zinogre entry. any tips?
You mean the very first CG? I think that means in Chapter 1, you'll have to spend all three days with Jin. Assuming you've made all the right choices, you'll see a special event that should unlock the CG.
Youre right- realized which CG it was, i think my game just glitched and didnt mark it as seen in the log book. Sorry and thank you!
for the upcoming update. I just wanna say, I'm excited but nervous as well
Soon
my poor boy koku... :( He didn't deserve what had happened in chapter 3 man.
FR he is too cute for this 🥺
he's too adorable for the entirety of being framed for murder.
My heart hurts watching episode 3 over and over again, it makes me sad to see them fall apart in front of us, but I want to do everything I can for the boys, I want to make the admiral disappear, anyways this VN is sooooooo good i really want to know whats next 🥺🥺 keep up the good work!
