Out of money and out of luck you find yourself broken hearted and on the verge of collapse. Your landlords taken the key back, you cant finish your manuscript, and your beloved is marrying someone else. With no choice but to handle whatever life throws at you, you set out on the open road on a mission to win back the love of your life. The story from there to redemption is up to you. Can we be salvaged, or are there always sometimes monsters?

• Choice - A story-driven experience focusing on relationships and emotional bonds rather than traditional RPG combat and adventuring. Indecision is your enemy and empathy is your weapon in a quest to earn one last chance to win back the love of your life.
• Circumstance - Choose from characters of different gender, race, and sexual preference and live through the common experiences and unique hardships of each based on your selection. NPCs may treat you differently based on your gender, race, or sexual preference opening and closing different paths along the way.
• Consequence - Each playthrough is filled with a staggering number of diverging paths that can be discovered through both overt actions and subtle choices in conversation. The journey you experience will be tailored to our personal ethical compass as your decisions both conscious and subconscious change your fate.

Pros and cons of Always Sometimes Monsters app for iPhone and iPad

Always Sometimes Monsters app good for

I am loving Always Sometimes Monsters! It has such depth and replayability! So many decisions and choices and the story is awesome. Five stars for sure!
Great game! Im addicted to it! But there is a major bug. Whenever I try to enter a bus station my game crashes, therefore I cannot progress, especially in the part with town hall and Larry, when Im trying to leave for Salt City. Only real issue Ive noticed with this game!
I was having SO much fun with this game on my iPad........... I am half way through the game and cannot get back in after an auto save, all I have is a black screen with the controls. If I reinstall I lose everything I have done so far? Ack!

Some bad moments

Its a pretty good game, but the controls are awful and there are several game breaking bugs. Currently I cannot progress because every time I load the auto save, I get a black screen and I cant see anything. I would change my rating to a 5/5 if these bugs are fixed in a future update
Get rid of this monster of a controller! My thumb is just fine!!!!
I love the storyline and the easy controls. I love how I get to choose to date a man instead of a woman, and I love how each choice impacts the story. However, the game constantly crashes. I cannot play for more than 30 minutes without it crashing. Any time I go to the bus stop it crashes. Any time I play the game inside the arcade it crashes. The story is good but if youre easily agitated by consistently crashing games, Id wait until it is updated and fixed.
I bought this game because I was intrigued by the choice to pick your own sexuality. But this games UI is rough. It can be moved around, and I dont consider this a plus. Its in the way, and too big. Both the movement and advance or check mark buttons. You have to press the check mark to advance the words, but it goes too fast, it makes you accidentally choose dialogue options you didnt mean too. The game also boasts you can pick your gender, race, sexuality. This appealed to me. But it gives you a room of pre-made NPCs to pick from, and you dont realize it is your character selection until its too late to change your mind. Your partner is chosen in a similar way. Maybe this game will get better with updates. Honestly, save your money till then.
I dont know why people are complaining about. The game seems pretty smooth to me sure someitmes you mistakenly pick an option you dont want but thats why you save beforehand. The game also allows you to change the decision of your character at the end of the party so, yeah. So far so good! Great game with interesting multiple choices
A Choice & Consequence game where you can pick your race, gender - and even sexuality. I havent seen games like these in a while, and just had to pick it up. I havent expierienced any crashes, or any major glitches so far. (I am playing on an iPad Air) Make sure to give this game a go if you are an RPG fan, and/or a lover of making important decisions within videogames.
