Evaluation
Dear Monster launched on January 16, 2023 with four romance routes. At launch, the developer announced that a fifth route — Slagathor — was still in development and would be added as a free update later in 2023. That route was delivered on September 29, 2023, completing the game as originally envisioned. The store description prominently declares "THE SLAGATHOR ROUTE IS NOW LIVE! THIS IS THE FULL AND FINAL GAME!" — a direct statement from the developer that the game is complete. All three DLC items (Strategy Guide, Art Book, and Soundtrack) were released the day after launch and no unreleased DLC exists. No further content for Dear Monster has been announced. The developer has remained active, but all subsequent news posts are announcements for entirely separate games (Oni Onsen, Orc Covenant, Monster Lover, Monster Ops) — none of which relate to Dear Monster itself.

About this game
THE SLAGATHOR ROUTE IS NOW LIVE! THIS IS THE FULL AND FINAL GAME!
A NSFW tale of magic and love between man and monster with art by the famous bara artist Jouvru! Allen is trapped in a mansion with five magical beasts. Will he escape or claim his legacy as a wizard? Magic is real, the pull is strong, and he can't turn away from these gorgeous monsters.
Allen thought he had his life all figured out. He just graduated university and was headed off to med school. Then a strange letter arrives from a grandfather he never knew. He's pulled onto a new path toward a strange mansion filled with even stranger creatures.
These fantasy beings shouldn't even exist--and yet, they're somehow familiar. Allen has no time for mysteries, but when he tries to leave he realizes he's trapped, and so are the magical monsters! Allen must solve the mystery of his own past while learning magic by "bonding" to one of the fantasy creatures. Otherwise he'll never get free!
An adults only tale of magic and love between man and monster with art by the famous bara artist Jouvru! Will Allen escape the magical mansion and continue the life he planned--or has his entire world been turned upside-down?

Allen worked hard as a student to please the strict aunt who raised him. He never knew much about his birth family, but never expected a connection to magic. This might explain a lot of strange things that have complicated his life over the years. He just wants a normal life--or so he thought, anyway.
Imbriss came to chew gum and kick Allen's grandfather's ass, but the famed wizard is no where to be found. He'll have to settle for Allen's ass instead...and may want to do other things beside kick it.
Faeryn has been waiting for Allen for a long time, and seems to know a lot about him. In fact...he seems to be in love with him. But how is that possible when he just met this sweet and kind unicorn today?
The sly fox Momo seems nice enough, but has a penchant for trickery and mischief. It even looks like he uses those things to push people away...but why?
Stoic and serious, Hikmat talks a lot about death. He claims to be the mansion's gardener, but Allen's never seen plants like these. He can't help but be intrigued, even if Hikmat seems slightly annoyed by him. And yet...why does he let Allen so close if he doesn't like him at least a little?
