Monster Breeder
Description
In this simple game, players assume the role of cryptozoologists, exploring top-down maps of various ecosystems environmental (desert, lake, forest), supernatural (haunted house, infernal cave) and genre (sleepy suburban cul-de-sac) in search of a complete collection of dozens of different monsters of folklore and pop culture.
Capturing the monsters, which sometimes necessitates the acquisition of specialised gear, is only the beginning; the game's ultimate goal is the breeding of all possible hybrid combinations of monsters (Q: what do you get when you cross-breed a ghost with Godzilla? A: I don't know, but I'm confident this game will call it a "Ghostzilla".) The monstrous mules resulting from these unwholesome couplings are sterile, but fetch brisk prices on the monster-collecting underground of rich weirdos. But play carefully, as monsters are protected by law and unlicensed breeding operations are subject to confiscation raids by local law enforcement.
