History VisualNovel / MonsterProm

'''NOT''' to be confused with ''WesternAnimation/MonsterHigh'', which is very different.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Downplayed, as the game retains its M rating and remains as raunchy as ever, but the console versions of the game, ''Monster Prom: XXL'', replace all mentions of drugs with {{Unusual Euphemism}}s (i.e. weed becomes "Jazz Cabbage", cocaine becomes "nose candy", etc.) It still works with the game's humor even if a few jokes get lost in the change. This even resulted in one of the endings for Scott playing out entirely differently on console, though the ending CG remains the same in both versions.

* {{Cute Monster Character}}s: The Player characters and main love interests play this straight. {{Subverted}} in the case of some of the other students, including the EldritchAbomination you can take to prom (This is also {{Zigzagged}}, with said Eldritch Abomination becoming much cuter and more humanoid as Zoe in the ''Second Term'' add-on).

* EveryoneIsBi: Independent of gender, all romantic options can be romanced by all playable characters. This trope also extends to pretty much everyone in the school. [[spoiler: Except [[{{Asexuality}} Kale and Coach.]]]]

** In one ''Monster Camp'' event, Damien calls the idea of eating at McDonald's only slightly better than the idea of being forced to eat Calculester's metal and plastic arm.

The first sequel, ''Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp'', was released through [[https://www.gog.com/game/monster_prom_2_monster_camp GOG]] and [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1140270/Monster_Prom_2_Monster_Camp/ Steam]] on October 24th, 2020, together with two DLC outfit packs (as well as a third, anime-themed outfit pack that was exclusive for Kickstarter backers and those who watched [[Creator/AnnaBrisbin Brizzy Voices']] Twitch stream of the game on the day it the game came out). Future outfit packs, as well as content updates, were made available in the following months.

** The Coven. They're in the background constantly saving the day, fighting villains and retrieving [=MacGuffins=], acting very much like they're in an UrbanFantasy teen drama like ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' or ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Every other character is more interested in the absurdist black comedy dating sim already in progress.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: In-universe. During the "Dragon Heat" events, Vera can chastise you for your choice of a favorite arc, since it was about the king lying to everyone to try to make an orgy, which leads to a long, but necessary talk about consent.

** In ''Monster Camp'', you can pick 3 of 9 items to take with you to camp, with each item offering different stat boosts.

** ''Monster Camp'' also treats the player characters as sex-starved and kind of loserish compared to their potential love interests, even though most routes in ''Monster Prom'' give them some CharacterDevelopment away from this. This makes sense with the new [=PCs=] added in later [=DLC=], but not so much for the main returning four.

* BedsheetGhost: Literally. There's a path where you buy a sheet with eyeholes and use it to pretend to be a ghost. Everyone but Liam falls for it, even Polly, who actually ''is'' a ghost.

* PoisonMushroom: Getting the Lump Of Coal when you take The Gift That Keeps On Giving from the store drops all your stats down to zero.

** Several secondary [=NPCs=] who were not originally romanceable received their own routes in later updates.

* GenreRefugee: * The Coven. They're in the background constantly saving the day, fighting villains and retrieving [=MacGuffins=], acting very much like they're in an UrbanFantasy teen drama like ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' or ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Every other character is more interested in the absurdist black comedy dating sim already in progress.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Every run disregards the outcomes of previous runs, of course; but notably, even if you got an ending for ''Monster Prom'' that implied a long-term relationship between a [=PC=] and one of the love interests, everyone is single again in ''Monster Camp''.

* NoStatAtrophy: Averted. Stats don't go down on their own, but if a player fails a stat check, several of their stats go down.
