Monster

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: Since Decker is not screen-reader accessible, I have also created a downloadable Ren'Py version of Monster that is fully screen-reader accessible, available at the bottom of this page. The Ren'Py version has image descriptions for all of the artwork and transcribes all text on each slide so that it may be read off by Ren'Py's Self-Voicing accessibility feature. While in-game, Self-Voicing can be enabled anytime by pressing the V key.

"A short story about feeling not quite human, but yearning for connection all the same."

It's been a few months since the strange beginnings of Ximun's friendship with Adair. Yet, even after all the time they've spent together, he still feels like he barely knows her at all. On this day, he attempts to discern why.

Monster is a short bonus story within the Hemotropic Friendship Virus series, taking place during the summer following the events of the story's prologue. For more information, you can check out the timeline on my website here.
