BARE YOUR TEETH AND SHARPEN YOUR CLAWS

Monstrous Desires is an unranked Visual Novel Jam dedicated to the  love of entities, horrors, and monstrosities. Participants are tasked with creating a  romantic Visual Novel (VN) that heavily focuses on a monster may it be original or from classics, folklore, modern media, etc. 

This means you are allowed to create a VN of any genre. Note that romantic does not necessarily mean romance. You can have the romance be explicit, or you can have it be implied. Erotic entries are also allowed as long as properly tagged.

This jam will run from August 28, 2024 to October 28, 2024 (11:59 pm) at GMT+8

This jam is created and run by Siyokoy. Tag your posts with #MonstrousDesiresVNjam on Twitter or Tumblr to be retweeted or reblogged. Feel free to tag me on Twitter or Tumblr if I missed your post.
