Always Sometimes Monsters
Description
Out of money and out of luck you find yourself heart broken and on the verge of collapse. Your landlord's taken the key back, you can't finish your manuscript, and your beloved is marrying someone else. With no choice but to handle whatever life throws at you, you set out on the open road on a mission to win back the love of your life. The story from there is up to you. Can your life be salvaged, or are we always sometimes monsters?
“Always Sometimes Monsters is a game in which every choice matters. While it may echo some of the mundaneness of real life, players have complete freedom in their gameplay choices, though each choice comes with consequences down the line.”

“Choices have life-or-death options...I found myself walking on eggshells to avoid making a choice that I'd regret.”

- A story-driven experience focusing on relationships and emotional bonds rather than traditional RPG combat and adventuring.
- Choose from characters of different gender, race, and sexual preference and live through the common experiences and unique hardships of each based on your selection.
- Each playthrough is filled with a staggering number of diverging paths that can be discovered through both overt actions and subtle choices in conversation.

9/10
Always Sometimes Monsters isn't the first game to get clever with morality. It's not the first game that's had a few grey areas. It also isn't about either of those. It's about perspective. It's about empathy. It's about who we are and why we do what we do. That narrative is one of contradiction and hypocrisy, because that's what real people are about.

80/100
A convincing examination of player choice set in an all-too-realistic modern world.

8/10
It's an earnest look at life under tough economic pressure, at love when things don't go according to plan and at a creative career during its shittiest lows. It has a lot to say, and importantly, it speaks from the heart.
