Meg’s Monster Review

Meg’s Monster Review Meg’s Monster advertises itself as an RPG but in fact, I would say the game plays a little more like an interactive visual novel. You don’t actually play as Meg, the game starts out with a young girl (Meg) being dumped into an underworld full of monsters with many of them wanting to
