Monster of the Weekend
It's your first weekend home alone, which is a huge responsibility.
Also a huge responsibility? Taking care of the weird monster you found in the woods!
Monster of the Weekend is a short, lighthearted adventure/virtual pet game, where the assortment of weird crap you feed to your little monster will determine how it grows and changes.
But remember: nothing lasts forever. And your mom is allergic to pets! Better make this weekend count.
CONTROLS:
Arrow Keys or WASD: Represents the D-Pad on a Gameboy. Use them to move around and navigate menus.
Alt, Z, J, or Forward Slash: Represents the 'A' Button on a Gameboy. Use it to interact with objects, advance text, and confirm menu choices.
Control, K, X, or Period: Represents the 'B' Button on a Gameboy. I don't think you actually use it for anything, but you can back out of the pause menu with it if you want.
Enter: Represents the Start Button on a Gameboy. Use it to enter the pause menu.
Shift: Represents the Select Button on a Gameboy. Use it to reset the position of you and your monster on the current screen. (There are a couple of spots where the monster can trap you in a corner. That scamp. Anyway, if that happens, press Select/Shift)
Personally, I like to use WASD to move, and rest my right index and middle fingers on Period and Forward Slash. That lets me easily press Enter and Shift with my other fingers if necessary.

I gave the monster pizza and that made them grow, then Saturday I gave them the apple and they turned back to being an egg. Not to feed them healthy food, noted 😎
Cute concept and dialogues, looking forward to the rest of the game!
really cute art and concept!! even monsters love pizza
Thank you! Aren't we all just monsters searching for a pizza to call our own?
