Journal Monstrae
A downloadable game for Windows
https://www.patreon.com/c/Specific360Synopsis:
Humans have always lived in the shadow of Monstrae.
In secret hamlets like yours, humanity hides itself away from their ravenous gazes. However, humans cannot remain isolated forever, people inevitably come and go, and often disappear.
As a result, Seelies are selected to travel the world and connect the disparate human towns and villages, delivering letters and packages, as well as recovering whatever may remain of those who have gone missing.
You have always been curious about the world outside your home in Gothspell, and now that you have been selected as a Seelie you have the perfect opportunity to see as much of it as you can.
Gameplay:
Explore the world and encounter monstrae! Regardless of whether you win or lose you will collect materials that you can use to craft spirits and better defend yourself the next time you find yourself on the receiving end of a monstrae’s desires.
Main Kinks:
- Monster Girls
- Vore
- Futanari
- Femboys
- Femdom
- Size Difference
Tertiary Kinks:
(May feature in some scenes but not the main focus of the game)
- Vanilla
- Hypnosis
- Shrinking
- Giantess
- Impreg/Mpreg (not yet added)
- Transformation (not yet added)
- Feminization (not yet added)
- TBD
Currently, this project is just a demo version, there is still much more to come!

Install instructions
For Windows: Download and extract the .zip file, find the app named "game" inside and play it!
For Mac, Linux, and Android: This game is created in RPGMaker MV and thus will not run on most newer Mac and Linux systems by default, but the Windows version should be able to be emulated on those systems using third-party software. Similar situation with Android, I’ve heard the game works fine with joiplay.

Very curious, will there perhaps be some Bad End states? I understand the respawn mechanic has some lore behind it but I gotta admit, it takes a LOT of the steam away from vore when the char. can just magically respawn. Be awesome if there were Game Over states, or at least ones that imply our character meeting a permanent digestion, mwhaha.
VERY fun game overall.
Yes! There’s already one in the game actually :) just takes a little work to get
Gorgeous! <3 I'll probably be playing the game JUST to see that then, har.
Thank you! I’ll add more bad ends as the game progresses, just didn’t want there to be too many in these starting areas
If youre taking two-cent suggestions, I would think repeatedly being vored by one particular enemy could score a bad end at a certain threshold of losses, rule of threes?
That’s basically how the current one works, but it’s a voluntary event. Again, don’t want the stakes to be that high from this early on
How would I get the seaglow slimes 2nd paragraph? I can't seem to get it and It's the last thing before the blackshore spirit
Nevermind I just cheesed it and got them lol
huh looks like I never actually programmed her to give her second entry thanks for pointing it out!!
Is this game safe to play? I usually use virustotal to see if a game is safe and it said 2/65 security vendors flagged the file as malicious says there is a Trojan.Multi.mgi I used it to scan dragon eaters and Idk if that game is safe either.
From what ive seen, virustotal usually has a couple false positives. Not sure why but a couple of their vendors register one of rpgmaker’s default files as a potential virus. If youre that worried, theres other precautions you can take but tbh no ones had issues with the game before.
Anybody know where or how to get talismans to craft spirits? I've just been rolling the dice with the journal's summoning and I want to try and craft some higher-level spirits.
As long as you have the ingredients, you get them in the crafting section of the menu
Oh.. Minor talismans are just minor spirits. I thought they were an item. The two separate names are confusing, it should have just said you needed a minor spirit to craft a better spirit..
(EDIT: I've just found out that spirits are stored as talismans in your inventory when you craft them, so the game does actually tell you, I'm just stupid :P)
Also, how would I go about unlocking the recipe for major spirits? I've fought every species in the journal to unlock their entries and I still have yet to unlock any recipes..
And just a bonus question.. I happen to make AI chatbots, and I was wondering if I could make some out of some of the species or characters in this game. I won't make 'em if you say no. I can also make them purely private if you just don't want others seeing 'em. I just really wanna make one of a Recluse Stoneclaw because they're adorable, and it's just a moral obligation for me to ask the creator for permission to do so because some people don't like others using their characters for purposes relating to AI.
each monstrae has two entries, and you need both to unlock the recipe. Most are locked behind a loss or re-encounter scene, although I’ve heard [depending on the monstrae] it doesnt always give you the entry if you skip the scene, which im gonna fix next update
I feel like I've done everything I could have done with the monstrae in Bluewood.. I've let a nymph digest me three times in a row, I've been TV'd by a timber siren, I've won and lost to every monstrae in Bluewood and still no recipe.. Does holding shift count as skipping maybe? Because I've done that for a few scenes..
This question may have been asked before, but is there a feature to completely disable femboys and futanari?
Disabling both would leave you with like three or four encounters rn, femboy and futanari is half the point of the game
هل ستنزل على اندرويد
No, but there are 3rd party programs that allow you to play it on Android
how to unmasked the blackshore spririt?
I havent made those scenes for him yet
Show post...
I want unbirth to rebirth!
Maybe in the future when I add some transformation content, but that’ll be a pretty long ways away
Hey! i played this game a while ago and just recently came back, unfortunately i have a skill issue and dislike playing games normally, when i played a while ago i remember there was a way to get to the gallery, can you tell me how to get there?
depends on the region, for the Bluewoods you need to finish the main quest, and for Blackshore you just need to have it’s statue unlocked although you need to have at least encountered a monstrae to view its scenes
some type of weapon like a knife would honestly do wonders or any type of weapon really especially in early game, it would also make a lot of since like you are going out to a place you know is full of danger yet you still go out there unarmed.
hi, i havent played the game yet but im planing to at some point. Id just like to ask if you could add a content disable feature, id be really pleased if you do because there are some things i and others might not like to see (like femboys ). kind regards :)
The main character is a femboy so this might just not be the right game for you man
sad, but if u change your mind or add gender selection id be happy to give the game a try, if you dont want to change your game thats completely fine, also thanks for responding and good luck on developing
thanks
hi hello Middle Mucila Spirit heals enemies instead of your party please fix thaaaanks
Oh weird, thanks for letting me know lol
Plz make a mobile version
You can play the windows version using joiplay
Hello! I'm abit confused on the gameplay, am i supposed to gather ingridients in order to craft spirits to be able to fight back?
Yep
ok, thanks!
I kinda feel like the tutorial fight was glitched or something. It tells you to do that basic attacks, but every single one did 0 damage for some reason. Felt I was giving the enemy a second attack as well. And because the basic attacks did nothing, and the normal strikes didn't do enough damage before all 4 die, I'm in a constant loop of book berating. Am I just very unlucky, or is that combat encounter glitched
Yep, I’m aware of this bug. Dunno what’s causing it tbh but im looking into how to fix it For now, you can skip the tutorial, or if you wish to complete it, apparently trying to fight some other monstrae beforehand seems to reliably make the tutorial work as intended
are you planning on adding cheats? like no essence loss i cant seem to make it anywhere without bein grabbed let alone fight
I don’t have any plans to, no If you are having trouble in combat I recommend crafting and summoning some spirits; you are given materials for free after you get the Journal, and the Journal has a skill to randomly summon a spirit without consuming a talisman
Are you planning on adding a femboy (or male) monster that can vore the mc?
yeah? the male nymphs already have CV scenes, and I’ll definitely add others
Okay, thank you :3
Just came back to update my game after not playing since version 0.1.0.2 and... Wow. There's so much stuff that's changed that I saw in the progress release and hotfix notes, I can hardly wait to play again. HOWEVER, that leads me to my question, preferably for Specific but if anyone else can answer so I don't be a bother, it would be appreciated!
I saw in the latest announcement for 0.1.3.5 that there should be a combat overhaul at the end of July with the next update. Is it such a major change that I should wait for the update before I start playing, or would it be fine if I start now and then just transfer my save data to the next version when it's released?
(Edit) Few hours in and I can't wait anymore, gonna go enjoy the game now! >w<
There’ll definitely be some bugs when you transfer the save BUT I am adding a few debug options to fix them if need be; where to find them will be explained once the update is released :)
bro, you added a monster girl quest reference With alice and lucas.. my jaw hit the ground when I saw the models. In regards to the game though, absolutely love it, would support if I had financial freedom. A very unique experience visually, especially the niche content of femboy reverse rape/vore. Combat as of 1.3.1 is pretty much pokemon, including how you can brute force most fights as long as its neutral, but definitely already more than most games, especially right at the beginning, read that you want to improve it? Good luck coding.
Though I would appreciate more.. direct instructions in the quest tabs... maybe its just a personal issue but I was very lost on getting to aelonor... I only got to her because I was trying to unlock the warppoint, never realized she was listed in the journal quest.
And in the monster girl quest, I know saying "fight a naga" is really obvious but the game let's you skip all dialogue even unread... someone could miss it
finally the old seelie quest, kite, is there more after anvera?
Thanks :) the coding for the combat changes is honestly almost done i just need to tweak the numbers so it feels better
I probably will mess with the quest entries in the Journal to give better instructions on how too start most quests, although tbf Blackshore is intended to be a side region so stumbling into the area’s main quest is kinda on brand lmao
And yeah for now Predecessor’s Trail ends when you get the Quill from Anvera
i just found this game, it have a lot of potential fr! cant wait to see future updates, but i have somethings to say, for instance i wasnt expecting to get attack as soon as i get out of the house, i know its lore but damn xd i feel the fights a bit too "rude"? and fr i was expecting to use the femboy/girl monster as part of my team like pokemon, not complaining about the little creature system, but the main reason i choose to play this is bc i read femboy and big dick and i was expecting to be friend with one and use it as part of my team, but thats just me :p
you can make more than just little critters at least! although for now its just the Bluewood Spirit. with more updates I’ll gradually add more and more major spirits, some of which will be femboys tho byea I liked the idea of crafting spirits a bit more that recruiting monstrae, and at this point in development its not something im likely to change unfortunately
So the last time I played, it was just a pic of the enemy and the scene was described through text but no images did that change? Or is there plans to change it?
I see AMAZING potential in this game uwu
I'm very excited to see where it goes
there’ll be some minor improvements to the portrait alts for enemies in the next update, but im generally gonna keep custom illustrations reserved for named NPCs rather than general encounters. i have a lot of encounters planned for the game and this is how im limiting my workload
Oh is there already some for the named NPCs?
I skipped the ones with vore near the beginning cause it's not my kink personally, but if so I'm def gonna keep going!! (Prob gonna regardless :3)
Also I respect the decision to reduce your workload, I'd imagine that would be a lot of work doing illustrations for every single encounter ^^'
I think in the version available here, the only named NPCs with scenes are Meluzae and the Bluewood Spirit, but yeah they both have custom illustrations for their content :)
i feel stupid but, for the life of me i have no idea how to craft middle spirits T-T
What part is giving you trouble?
Just so everyone knows you can play the game on Android if you download joiplay .
How to use it
How I can craft bluewood spirit? i already have all 3 middle spirits and... nothing, i cant
there are five different middle spirits required to craft her
This game looks pretty fun, any chance of a future mobile version?
Potentially yeah, but don’t hold your breath tbh
Can play on Android if you download joiplay
Just finished the main story and it mentions building your relationships with the major spirits, is there a way to interact with them? Also, one thing I was curious about, is the book's only skill the simple spell or did I just not level enough?
Love the game by the way, if I had money I would DEFINITELY support you on SS! I think my only real complaint is the level bump whenever you get any type of vore ending, makes it scary to see the kink I pretty much downloaded the game for.
Thank you so much!!
You can visit the major spirits youve created in Sitria’s Crypt, when you go in there should be symbols on the ground on either side of the path that’ll take you to them
The Journal does have additional abilities, but theyre granted by items you may have picked up. A few of them can be found in Esmeralda’s shop and another can be found out in the wild
If you’re worried about your levels, you can retrieve most of them from whichever monstrae had vored you, and a gallery of sorts will be available in the next free update that’ll let you enjoy the scenes without the risk of losing levels :)
how craft bluewood spirit?
also how many spirits are you suppose to be able to have at once
cause i had 4 out at some point
(timber, cobble, feral, auburn)
You need one of each middle spirit to craft the Bluewood spirit, and you’re only supposed to have up to three spirits summoned at a time. There may be a bug in this version that lets a fourth spirit be summoned however
Is vore avoidable?
You can skip most of the vore scenes, yes
Can we get an android version
How big is the 1.2 update likely going to be compared to what we currently have in the game? And is there gonna be more statue lady (I forgot her name) interactions?
ive got an old announcement post detailing what’s being added, its around the same amount of content as 0.1.1 I’d say, probably a little less. new map, couple new monstrae, new interactions with the slime queen
i will mention the new content won’t be added to the public version here until 0.1.3, it’s gonna be SubStar only until then
as far as Sitria’s content goes, it’ll be a while longer before I expand her content. she’s going to be a central figure to the plot so her content is going to be built up rather slowly
Were I see the ingredients for create spirits? Im new
The current system ive got is a little inconvenient but im working on it for the next update; it’ll tell you what stuff you need when you select a spirit in the crafting menu
Hey how do you feel about the transformation kink? any chance that'll be in this game? like the MC being turned into a monster or something? just curious.
I might include some tf content somewhere, dunno where yet though It’d likely be pretty far in the future either way
question, how can I get the game to run on mac? is there a third party app I need?
Sorry yeah, you’ll need to find some third-party software
by any chance do you know any that might help in this situation? ^^
I’ve found a couple resources that might work, but unfortunately I have no means to verify whether or not they actually do. Here’s the links to them nonetheless: https://steamcommunity.com/app/363890/discussions/1/3277925755444294890/

greatly appreciated!
How do i defeat the slime queen she has a ton of health?
Nevermind i just need to buy healing potions wish the shop was labeled.
i like it very cool, like bs1 but vore
Such cool Art,fun gameplay and good characters
Expect much from You and the game
Thank you!
it’s really cute. As in every character is really cute, including the mc (I wish more works did this.)
I’m the sort who never uses consumable items in RPGs, so it was pretty hard having a squad made of consumable items, but I (mostly) got over it after figuring out a cycle of infinite resources. in hindsight, I could’ve probably made a ton of single use cannon fodder spirits as indirect attacks for mc, but it all worked out so far.
It did feel a bit like fights were intimidating (when I had a sizable group of spirits and xp to potentially lose,) but that’s entirely a me problem and not a flaw of design. it made me uncomfortable, but that’s a unique experience.
Oh also, in terms of “content,” I like everything. Every single scene. I’d like a way to willingly “play” with everyone, eventually, since I’m not made of essence. Well actually, because I am made of essence, and I don’t wanna lose it all ☆
Anyways, this is a very fun game that I also found to be unique in gameplay and presentation. You have my gratitude for creating it.
Thank you!!! It genuinely means a lot ^-^
There is a way to play the scenes without losing essence in the SubStar version of the game right now, although it’s not exactly written to be ‘willing’ (I wanna have Sam become willing more gradually), either way it’ll be added to the free version here in 0.1.3 :)
I look forward to seeing it! “Willing” is entirely a matter of like, “I wanna see the scenes without backtracking my farm~”
If you’re planning to have Sam develop interests and preferences gradually in an organic way, that’s especially exciting, since I love that sort of characterization. It’s even better when it’s in a medium like this ♡
It is my joy to bring you joy by telling you how much your creation brings me joy～☆
took me like an hour and a half to figure out where the queen slime was because I didn't notice the names of different areas when you go through a load zones until about 3 hrs into the game
legit loving the game and praying this project doesnt get abandoned
i can definitely see this becoming a great game ^^
Thank you!!
Question: can our character eat or Just be eaten?
He’s only able to be eaten
=(
sorry bud
But what about the monsters you summon?
The Major Spirits can vore the player, but thats all I don’t have any plans for them to vore enemies
