To celebrate the spooky month, create a game themed around your favorite monster(s)! You can incorporate elements of this monster in the narrative, mechanics, or visual style of your game. Reflect on what these monsters mean culturally, what fears they embody, and what harmful stereotypes may come along with them. Include influences for your game in your weekly report!

Bonus constraint: Try to use either a different engine than the first jam or use the same engine in a very different way. For example: if you made a text adventure in Twine, make a game with Twine that is more image and sound heavy (Sugarcube is better than Harlowe at this)
