Dialog with the Monster

A psychological horror experience about the conversations we have in the dark.

At 2:17 AM, sleep eludes you once again. Your apartment feels different tonight—charged with an unfamiliar presence that seems to watch from the shadows. When a voice emerges from the darkness, offering the one thing you've craved most: genuine conversation.

Dialog with the Monster is an atmospheric narrative experience that explores the dangerous allure of connection when loneliness becomes unbearable. Through branching conversations, you'll navigate a psychological minefield where every response shapes your relationship with an entity that claims to understand your isolation better than anyone ever has.

Key Features:

  • Conversation-Driven Horror: Your words are your only tools in this battle of minds and wills
  • Multiple Branching Paths: Each choice fundamentally alters how the entity perceives and responds to you
  • Psychological Depth: Explore themes of isolation, manipulation, and the human need for genuine connection
  • Multiple Endings: Your conversational choices lead to dramatically different conclusions
  • Atmospheric Storytelling: Experience horror through mood, tension, and unsettling dialogue rather than jump scares

The entity in your home doesn't want to harm you—it wants something far more precious. It wants to be understood. It wants to understand you. And it has all the time in the world to convince you that what it's offering is exactly what you've been missing.

Every night, the conversation continues. Every choice you make draws you deeper into a relationship that challenges the boundaries between predator and companion, isolation and connection, fear and fascination.

What will you say when the darkness speaks to you?

Content Warning: This experience deals with themes of psychological manipulation, isolation, depression, and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Player discretion is advised.

This was deceptively good. Audio is perfect for the situation, the drone, discordant and eerie. The writing is hands down what got me though. There were some great phrases and by the time I read "the shape of your solitude." you had me.

Not giving the monster an audible voice was absolutely the best move IMO, whether that was on purpose or because you didn't get around to it, I think it's perfect. I imagined a voice that my mind threw together made up from multiple things that would make me uneasy, whether I am consciously aware of what they may be or not. You allowed space for me to insert a voice that I would instinctively find most unsettling.

I love it. Left me wanting so much more. I am following and excitedly waiting for more developments!

Thank you so much for this! Your comment totally made my day!

Honestly, I didn’t have the budget for voice acting, but I’m glad it still works for people.
