Ren'Py - Monster Girl Dreams [v26.b Alpha] [Threshold]

Honestly, levelling in this game is really fun! It' can get a bit grindy on Hard Mode (which is what I play since I have everything to prove to internet strangers), especially if you want to take on some of the bonus content, but nothing too big really. Plus all the different status effects and binding descriptions are really solidly done.

Quite frankly, besides MGQ, I don't think there's been many BFRPG's that have been *this* good, and that's pretty damn impressive. I'd absolutely recommend this if you're looking for a quick fap, some interesting lore and world-building, or in-depth and interesting characters and amazingly written BF, this one has it all folks!

A genuinely good text based, turn-based combat game with great art, decent story, and good humor. Is consistently fun to play even after a decent amount of playtime. Even manages to be fairly original for a VN, can't wait to see future developments!

I couldn't stomach much of this game.

This dev loves the word "Bliss" so much that it shows up in practically every other sentence. The sex scenes are pretty cringe due to the dev attempting to be far too descriptive without actually making the sex scenes interesting.

The MC has absolutely zero sex scene dialogue. He can talk just normal outside of them but for some reason during sex scenes he turns into a retarded mute whose only vocal action is whiny moans.

The dev reuses the same adjectives repeatedly, as if this dev looks at a small animation loop of sex and makes a long sex scene out of it, but has a limit on the number of unique words he can use.

Every scene is barely any different from the next because the dev loves to use the same exact words in every single sex scene. Sex scenes boil down to "MC sticks his dick in and thrusts till he cums." The only thing that differs is where exactly the MC is sticking his dick in. No position changes. "Taking charge" means the mc just runs up and sticks his dick in until he cums. It's such dull and unimaginative writing.

Sex scenes with flowery prose but no substance whatsoever. Outside of the sex scenes, the dialogue is actually quite good, but this is a porn game, ultimately, and it fails at being good at that.

If you're here for the "Male Domination" tag, you will be utterly disappointed. Panders almost exclusively to femdom lovers and beta boys everywhere. With your choices being act like a beta sub or miss a sex scene 9 times out of 10. Anything that is not a femdom scene and is described as the MC "dominating" them is laughably far from such, unless you consider MC jumping on a willing monster girl and humping her till he cums as domination. Your MC will never "take control" during any scenes.

Very pleased with this game, and this goes to show just how important dialogue is. I originally did not want to play this game because it had no moving animations. But the amazing dialogue and fighting system makes up for it. There's also a very good amount of content in the game. I'm very pleased and am awaiting more updates. Although it's sad to see the updates slowing down so much

Such an amazing game, despite still being far off from completion. Because of the nature of BFRPGs this game doesn’t really suffer from the “lose to see scenes” trap that most adult rpgs fall into. As for fap content this game has a ton, even with pure gameplay and not loss scenes. There’s also a ton of romance/side content if you want that. That said losing generally doesn’t hurt your character too much with the exception of all boss fights, and the extra fetishes/sensitivity you gain can generally always be reversed with some of the in-game money.

Despite the lack of CGs the written content is so amazing that at least I have no issue fap-wise, and the character portraits (which changes facial expressions/positions/clothing) are more than enough for me. If you really don’t like text-based games I suppose that’s the only real con. Two other things I noticed was how underpowered old enemies seem to get once you reach new areas, it would be nice if they scaled up in power over time so you can still go back and have a decent battle. This game does have like 400 save slots though so if you wanted to go back its super easy to. The other con is it can be a little grindy trying to get the in-game money at times, particularly because you need it to get rid of fetishes or sensitivities. If it ever becomes too much of a grind you can always use the console to give yourself some cash, its just reducing time to get to content faster. Still it isn’t too bad and I think it’s intended so you can make a sacrifice of keeping some of fetishes/sensitivity to spend the money elsewhere. While the game is still in development there’s a ton of content and to me the side content is actually more important than the storyline.

Those are really the only cons I’ve seen so far, the developer is amazing and so is the community. The game can be modded pretty easily and there are several good community mods as well, some adding more content. I won’t list all the pros since it would take forever, but I will say my favorite parts are the quality of writing, stances system, fetish/perk system and side content. This game is what got me into the genre and even if you aren’t big into text-based games I really recommend trying this. You get started pretty quick and can see the basics of how it works within a few battles. I do recommend avoiding spoilers though, but if you are struggling with something then the wiki is always there.

Obviously inspired by the ancient classic that is Monster Girl Quest I found myself loving this game because of the additional plane-fuel-tank's worth of pure vanilla extract poured over it. Unlike MGQ it's far more light-hearted and less grimdark, as it contains less monster and more girl kind of attitude (arguably). Though in the end that may be somewhat of a downside - the game's plot comes off as garishly silly at times.
Unlike MGQ it also offers some maledom content - the blank slate protagonist can be assertive in some scenes where he ruthlessly fucks the monster girls into a pile of soaking fuck-meat making an ahegao. And boy will it be satisfying to finally do this to the thousand-year old sex demons that roflstomp you in the current build.
You have plenty of choice of which scenes to do or don't (as long as you don't lose in combat of course). The game's writing even gives you options to outright emotionally destroy some girls by breaking up or rejecting their confessions. You monster. If you do this to Kotone I will fucking find you.
The game is far less linear and more open-worldy than Monter Girl Quest and you can proceed at your own pace in progressing through the world/plot.

Do you like monster waifus in all kinds of flavors, including sour on the outside to sweet on the inside??
Does the concept of headpatting the brains out of nearly every character in a game excite you??
Do you like FEET?? (Don't answer that one.)

Then you will LOVE this game, provided you have the necessary imagination to supplement the text, since the only art is character standing images - which are, by the way, very high quality and very expressive - the variety of smug expressions alone is top notch.

The downsides are the aforementioned lack of CG images for scenes, probably due to obvious budget reasons, so you need to rely on your imagination, and I know that's a big problem for this generation of zoomer-coomers.
The actual gameplay is also lacking - Ren'Py is fundamentally a visual novel engine, and though the game's coding goes through many hoops to simulate a turn-based combat RPG system, including levels, perks and equipment, it feels very... primitive, as if it was just an excuse. Still, it does allow some maneuvering in making proper builds and preparation for combat (though in the end it often comes down to spamming one attack).

All in all a solid 4.5/5 (which I can't give here so I'm just gonna lean into that perfect 5) though I may be biased, because the game did set my coom-flooded, bitter, shriveled heart aflutter with some of the more intricate characters. Like that scene in the Grinch where he finds the meaning of Christmas.

You WILL like feet after playing this game. They finally fucking got me.

Alpha v23.5f

If you dont like text based games this will change your mind, IMO its much better than COC and TITS.

Blowjob scenes are the best and there is loads of them.

The combat is great and can be creative, if you are fighting a frog who is a master at sucking dick you starting kissing her but if a second frog tries to suck your dick you shove your dick in her pussy.

Before I continue, as of v23.5f, this a purely text based game with RPG elements mixed in. There are CGs, but most of them are just for the monster girls, and no sex CGs exist. If you're not into heavily text-based games, then this would not be for you.

Interestingly enough, this is actually my first time playing a text-based porn game. At first, I turned away from playing it because I simply was not into these kinds of games in the first place. I decided to give it a chance after seeing it on an occasional update, and it completely blown away my expectations. The sex scenes were descriptive enough for me to enjoy them to its fullest. In a way, if this game ever gets CGs for sex, I hope that the descriptive text never goes away. They're simply too good for it to just vanish.

I've discovered this game recently and i was really surprised. It's a text based with some rpg elements in the gameplay.

Until i played the game i was not into text based game at all. But this one actually make me love them.

The scenes are really well written and really immerse you in the world and the action, even during combats phases. The art is actually really good and you'll find a lots variety of Monster Girls of your tastes.

People tend to complain about the lack of CG, but actually that's what makes perfect to me. You can really enjoy imagining the scene you are being described and it tends to picture better for yourself than actual CG arts.

I'd say for some improvements to bring more accent on the fetishes part during combat and events.

Other than that this game is really worth it and i hope it will keep growing with content!

Better than CoC so that makes it the best monster girl text game.
Nice writing and cute romance with many varied characters
and the content is very horizontal and fleshed out making the world feel alot more active and full instead of just a lame dash through empty areas to get to the good parts like many rpgs do

you can pet so many characters on the head and that's the best

The time has come and so have I.

Alright, after more than 1 year following and playing this game I think its finally time to rate it.
(Disclaimer: I have only played the vanilla version of the game.
Also, behold the best broken english from this part of latam!)
PS. I might edit this in the future.
Score. 4.5 (Cuz there aint no game that is perfect and cuz Im too biased to rate it 4).

Pros:
-Active development. Threshold is constantly working on the game, either by adding new conversations, improving the game mechanics, adding sprites, etc. So rest assured you can always expect more content and polishing to come.
-Good writting. No broken english. Develops an interesting story.
-Waifus, lots of waifus. I dare you, I double mofoing dare you to play this game and to not find a single girl you really really like. There are lots of monstergirls, from the classic slimes and elfs, to mimics, onis, imps, etc. All with their own personality. Meaty girls? Check. Cutting boards? Also check!
-Kinky. Theres lots of stuff you can do to each female characther and they react in many different ways. Some have specific content you gotta unlock one way or another. Fetishpalooza! (Extreme/disturbing fetishes are excluded too.)
-Character Sprites. While not every single character (at the date of writing this) has its own sprite, the developer is constantly adding them. They show different facial expressions and clothing states.
-Casual, friendly and yet challenging. Difficulty setting so you can either go for a walk in the park to fuck some elves easily or go for a more challenging and grindy experience.
-Leveling and Builds. By leveling you gain stat points and skill points that you can arrange to fit your playstyle. Want to be a brute that spanks the girls into submmision? Want to be a dandy expert in the art of seduction? Want to be a happy-go-lucky sonuvabitch that gets lots in the forest and ends up with his D stuck in the bootyhole of a goddess? This is your game.
-Interesting Stats check system. Feels like playing good ol' DnD. It pretty much rolls a D20 + some other variables in order to decide the fate of scenes and battles. So get ready to fuck or get fucked by a dice roll.
-Mods. You can mod this thing. Some characters from mods can end up becoming canon too. Like Gren!

Cons:
Not truly a con for me but ppl tend to complain about this one:
-Lack of CG. (Thats the word for big pictures, right?).

Excellent game, has some of the best writing in any game I've played so far.
You will probably enjoy the combat if you enjoy RPGs. The game has quite a bit of official content so far, and if that isn't enough for it there are mods for it and you can make your own mods for it quite easily, so if there's something you want that isn't included in the base game, you can look for a mod for it or make your own.

I really like this game, the art of the characters are amazing they have personality, the dialogues and battles are really good too, I hope see more RPG games like that.

(Review for Alpha v23.4a)
The story manages to have quite an interesting premise along with a colorful cast of characters (Which might be speculation on my part, but some monsters do seem to be inspired by MGE), with the sex scenes being arousing (quite a difficult feat). The only real gripe i have with the game is its grindy nature, which can be annoying at times. I'll be looking forward to the continued development of the game!

This game is a great RPG in Ren'Py form. It surprised me how well it's made, from the simple but fun combat to the amount of sexy time you can get in the game. It's more of a reading than a visual treat, but it contains enough images of the people you're banging to not be baren (though some characters still don't have character images). If you're looking for a good and fun sexy RPG look no more!
It can get hard though, just to let you know.

Aug 30.2020:
I just wanted to give it 5 stars, didn't really want to review it, but yes!
Amazing game!!

It's a bit grindy but nothing insane, story and lore is interesting but most of all, damn good femdom and worth mentioning is that it's more advanced ren'py make, it has more of a RPGM feel to it during combat and more standard feel during conversations. LOVE IT!

Nov 30, 2022, update:
Best game, to be honest, if I am going to a desert island with a laptop and I may only bring one porn game, this is it! This is the game I will bring. There are a few games like tower of alfimia, tower of trample, and even unfinished estate dominate, which I hold dear in my heart, but this game is simply a masterpiece and it keeps getting updates, yeah I can complain about the amount of the updates, because I am a greedy bastard and I want MORE!
If you like femdom, you can't go wrong with this one, sure I would want more brutal femdom, similar to Succubus covenant, which is more brutal in you actually die, but it's not a game breaker to me. But it does has it charm.. Yeah sorry, I had to do that BUT , couldn't help, no, stop myself.
Do enjoy one of the best games ever on F95zone, for us femdom lovers at least. Why argue when you can agree

As someone that is more of an "art" kind of guy, I skipped this game for a while because of the whole "text game" premise.. but oh boy was I wrong.
The story is super engaging, there are kinks for everyone, the combat is interesting, the scenes are crazy hot and art is being slowly added with updates as well.

All in all, this is a fantastic game.

I passed on this for ages. This was a mistake.

The basic premise is as follows:
You are biggus dickus, the apparent only male in reality. Others are brought up, but never really seen.
You live in a land where a giant magical spell was cast to make physically harming anyone (mostly) impossible
You are excessively in debt, and to pay it off, you go adventure.
The world is full of monster girls who jump on you on sight because of the lack of males, and in lew of physically fighting them, you have to fuck them into submission.
Alternatively you can whore yourself out in the bar, but that doesn't pay much

Combat is fun. Enemies have a surprisingly robust response list depending on how you attack them, and you have a surprisingly large list of options. Kissing, fucking, throwing a net on them, calling them sexy with such arousing passion they spontaniously cum on the spot so hard they fall unconcious. Its good fun.
All it really needs is an option to
A: Invite enemies to do certain attacks
B: Initiate oral (both you receiving and giving) yourself
Because you can initatie anal and vaginal yourself, but if you want to see oral lose scenes, you have to tediously wait around for them to do it. And the girls have a bad habit of orgasaming on you before you ever see them try.

The actual sex scenes themselves are hot. I'm very bias to oral, and this has tons of it. The magical hentai 'girl cums from sucking your dick' kind. The best kind. Not much of you giving it though, mostly just a few 69 scenes.
The MC, Mr. Cocksalot, is apparently really fucking good at sex, so the scenes tend to be plastered with excessive lovehearts, caps and !!!!!!. I like it. Some may not.

But the main reason you play this? The thing that ties it all together? Its the girls. From the church loli (NOT for lewd), the random mushroom girl you dicked so hard your cock mutated, the extremely submissive bat girl to the fox girl you can romance, everyone is likeable.
They want your dick, sure. And they'll fuck you if you lose. But it, with 2 exceptions (both of which are viewed as mistakes by the characters who do it), never really feels sadistic. The MC is never a sadistic ass even to the extreme submissives despite a trait you get being literally callled sadist, and if the girls primarily go for either gentle femdom or mindless multiple day long boning sessions. Even the hypno sessions a few characters offer to make you more submissive to them which you get multiple warnings about maybe not being the nicest thing in the world are mostly them being gentle mommies,
Its just refreshing.
At no point does it feel like anyone crosses the line where they cease to be a character and become a walking sadistic fetish without promptly realizing they were going too far and apologizing.

Even outside of the sex the characters are very likeable. Like the monsters are the 'bad' guys in some way, being incredibly horny sexual predators, but then you get to know them. And they have lives. Jobs. Homes. You can visit a surprisingly large number in their homes. You can even be a sugar daddy for one (worst girl btw, trash character) and help her change her job, home and life around. You wouldn't expect that coming in. But you can.
And some of them are beyond the point of being horny monsters jumping on everyone and just genuinely want love. Which means you, usually.

The fetishes are also pretty varied. Not much foot content, if you are into that, probably owing to its general gentle femdom at most approach and foot stuff being for some reason associated with hard doms.
A lot of oral and vaginal.
A little anal, including a character mostly preferring it over anything else


There really isn't much I can fault this game on
The art is good, and mostly complete. When its not complete, they offer descriptions (I like to see these descriptions even for the complete ones; they're much more exhaustive than the pictures)
The writing is shockingly good
The world is simple but entirely justifies why DickFancy is going around combat fucking everything that breathes
The QOL is even good. You get far enough in a relationship with a girl to visit her house? It'll usually be added to the world map.


My only complaints would be

-The Character menu. Its in right click on the visual novel UI this uses. You just don't expect it to be there. I had to google and find a guy on F95 mentioning not being able to find it to find it myself

-The bat girl hypno sessions are kind of... lame. The fox is a long exhaustive thing that has a ton of scenes and good payoff. Vivian's breast hypno is short and sweet, but does what you'd expect, make you like boobs more. You'd think the bat would hypno you to want to grope her more or be more of a dom or something, but she doesn't really do anything.

- As mentioned earlier, ways to invite the enemies to pounce you aiming for certain body parts rather than tediously waiting, or just being able to force it

- It never really even attempts to explain you can revisit old areas while picking events/quests/enemies and a lot of the games conte t is hidden behind doing this

-You can romance pretty much everyone in the will/power temple, but you can't instantly travel to them from world map, or from a single hub location like you can the forest. You can turn off enemy encounters, but the number of clicks needed to reach anyone except the girls i nthe first areas is extremely tedious

-Working in the bar for actual scenes is tedious. As soon as you get most, its day time. So you need to work there 3 times in a row, in a menu that's strangely slow to respond, to be able to try again to maybe see something new or the scene you want to see

-Game could use a gallery, recollection room, dream memory thingy, whatever, to see scenes like those in the bar in, and some indication of if there are even more of these misc scenes to see

-The 'ebony elf with a thong sucking dick' in the glory holes should have some content beyond you seeing her sucking a dick occasionally

- You have a lot of buffs, but could really use a debuff, or a way to heal enemies (or both), for when you are simply too strong to have any real fun with them mid-fight

Lowering score from 5 to 4. Two years since I made this review has added 1 (one) terrible unfun and broken dungeon and 3 (three) girls that are less interactable than any other girl in the game short of random enemies. They're bosses.

This is a gem especially in it's genre ! I loved the varienty of fetishes,places,the storytelling and of course the monster girls!
PROS:
-Beautiful gameplay,the fighting mechanism is very nice and it's still in development that's exciting cant wait!
-Adorable characters that has different personalities,beliefs and fetishes and getting in different kind of great moments with them
-Musics are nice as well maybe it can be increased/developed in the future but it goes with story nicely
-The storytelling is great it makes nice hype, i keep wondering what's going to happen next and then i start to looking forward to next updates
-Arts is a big plus,it gets the experience another level.Hopefully we can get as much as them in next updates.
CONS:
-I know it even says in game description that it's in alpha/active development but bugs are still annoying still i understand-because it's in active development- (EDIT: Didnt encounter any bugs in later updates so guess it's getting solved)
-Maybe getting new topics to talk with the beautiful citizens that in guild,shop and bar
Keep up the good work dev i'll support this project it deserves 5 star imo.
EDIT: Best game in F95ZONE! (At least in it's genre)

Great text-based game. Despite the game being in alpha, there is a lot to see and do. There is a lot of rich text and a bunch of great art accompanying it. Furthermore, the game has a lot of well-written characters with many ways of interaction. So in conclusion, if you are interested in text-based games or monster-girl genre there really no reasons no to try this one.
