Monster Camp

Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp, also referred to as Monster Camp, is a visual novel video game for Windows, macOS and Linux that released October 23, 2020. It is the first and direct sequel of Monster Prom.
== Gameplay ==
Monster Camp's gameplay is very similar to that of Monster Prom, with several key differences.
Like its predecessor, the goal of Camp is to accumulate stats and attempt to successfully ask one of the game's primary or secret love interests to the meteor shower at the end of the game, or initiate and play through other secret endings.
The first difference between the games is its pre-game preparation stage. Where Prom began with players taking a quiz to determine their beginning stats and the love interest they will initially pursue, Camp gives players much more variety by having them select from a large number of different items they will have packed, which grant different amounts and even combinations of stats. Selecting your initial love interest is similar to Prom's method, in which players are given a small selection of subjects that directly correspond to one of the main romantic options.
Another difference is the replacement of Monster Prom's cafeteria events with campfire gatherings, which are similarly compulsory over the course of gameplay after several turns. At these gatherings, players may either sit with one or more love interests in an attempt to accumulate more Love Points with them; sit with another player on the Love Log for a single heavy stat boost for the first player and many small stat boosts for the other; or sit with Moss Mann and engage in gossip that will either increase their own stats or decrease that of another player.
Another difference in Monster Camp is its lack of a MONEY stat and a conventional shop that relies on purchasing items with it. Instead, players obtain drinks from a bar through a battle royal-style minigame. While visiting the shop in Prom was optional, it is compulsory in Camp and takes place after several turns. Drinks purchased from the bar have a vast array of effects on the game, including affecting stats (in positive, negative, or wacky ways), initiating secret endings, or affecting the game's art, music, or UI.
Of the game's current six love interests, only two are recurring romantic options from the original game (one from the base game, and one from the Second Term DLC). Three are minor characters from Prom that, thanks to developer and fanbase popularity, have been promoted to primary love interests in Camp. Two (one love interest and one character paired with a promoted minor character) are brand new characters introduced in this game.

== Development History ==
=== Background ===
On May 8, 2019, Beautiful Glitch announced a sequel titled Monster Prom 2: Holiday Season and launched another Kickstarter campaign with a playable demo. The planned sequel was set to feature the same characters from Monster Prom in three minigames: Summer Camp, a dating simulation similar to the original game; Winter Retreat, a strategy game featuring Vera and Miranda; and Roadtrip, an adventure survival game featuring Scott and Polly. The campaign proved successful and raised over €535,000 from almost 9,000 backers within a month, surpassing their goal of €32,000. As development progressed and the game's scope grew beyond the team's expectations, the decision was made to release the Summer Camp portion of Holiday Season as its own game title, Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp, which was released on October 23, 2020.
A playable demo for this game was available at PAX West in 2019.https://twitter.com/monsterprom/status/1167164699789578240https://twitter.com/quinntessent1al/status/1167592654982402049
