## About This Game
ABOUT THIS GAME
Monsters roam the streets of the city, including you! Fight off sinister
creatures while stopping yourself from turning into one too in this deck
building card game. Craft a unique deck each round from Day cards, Night
cards, and Monster cards. Do you try to stay above board and beat your
opponents through clever investigation and tactics, use the seeder underbelly
of the city to your advantage, or embrace your burgeoning evil instincts? Or
maybe mix a bit of all three! Pick one of six different classic monsters to
play as. Unlock new cards and characters as you play, unlocking more and more
playstyles and strategies. Themed after 1950’s horror comics, build the story
of your battle with the cards you play.

Features
Strategic Deck Building: In classic deck building fashion, buy cards to use to
damage your opponent, protect yourself, or just buy even better cards in the
future. Over two hundred cards to play with and unlock.

Monstrous Menagerie: Take your pick of monsters each with their own cards and
strategy. Feed on your foes blood as the Vampire, embrace the night as a the
Wraith, make your opponents green with envy as the Plant, crush them with
sheer bulk as the Blob, and more!

Transform into a Terror: As you loose health, you become more and more
monstrous and the cards you can buy change. Keep your health high to stay in
the Day, or intentionally let it slip to gain powerful Monster cards. Just
don’t let yourself fully lose control to the monster within!

Abundant Afflictions: Fangs, Scaly Skin, Mysterious Secretions, take your pick
of Afflictions each round to power up your character and find new strategies
to win. What’s a little inhumanity when it comes with such power?

Devious Difficulty: Use the Blood system to make the game more difficult the
more you play it. The harder it is, the faster you’ll unlock more content.

The Monster Within is fully playable, with an expansive amount of content
already. But it’s not quite expansive enough, Since only six of the ten
planned monsters are available to play, the game is still in early access.
More monsters, more cards, and the fourth and fifth round with dual class
monsters and the final boss are all coming soon, free of charge. Just buy the
game now and you’ll have access to all the upcoming content as it comes out
with no additional purchases necessary. So get in there and show the
competition why you’re the meanest monster around!
