Dad's Monster House 2 is OUT NOW!

[p]To our dear players and friends,[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]It feels like only yesterday that we first opened the door to Dad's Monster House. Together with Carlos, we navigated a home filled with peculiar monsters and fragmented memories, all in pursuit of a letter from his father. That was a journey of retrospection, a quest to salvage the profound, warm love from a labyrinth of memory, a story about understanding and reconciliation.[/p][p][/p][p]Today, as we stand before that familiar door once more, we are here to tell a new, different kind of story—one not of looking back, but of "setting out" and "taking flight."[/p][p][/p][p]From the very beginning of creating Dad's Monster House 2: MEDAL, we asked ourselves: what new emotional landscape can we explore? If the first game was a gentle mending of past regrets from an adult's perspective, then the sequel, we decided, must return to a more fundamental, more innocent state of being: growth itself. This is no longer a dive into dusty memories, but a fearless expedition towards a sea of stars, an adventure led by a child to fulfill the grandest of promises made with a father. This time, we chose not to dwell on the weight of remorse and forgiveness, but instead to illustrate how hope, will, and dreams are forged into shining medals within a world that is at once bizarre and deeply tender.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Each scene, each uniquely shaped "monster" lurking in a corner—they may seem like obstacles, but we invite you to see them as something more: the personification of the very emotions and ideas that constitute our inner worlds. The giant hand that stubbornly knocks on a wall, the colossal creature you must face with courage, the frog-man who sways to a hidden rhythm… they are not mere puzzles or NPCs. They are mirrors we’ve placed along your path, reflecting the confusion, fear, curiosity, and desire that we all encounter on the journey of growing up. [/p][p][/p][p]What you offer them may be a simple, seemingly insignificant object, but what you receive in return are the Medals we've named "Courage," "Curiosity," "Love," and "Beauty." These are not mere trophies; they are affirmations. They are the gentle echoes of a world responding to you after you’ve conquered your inner trepidation, ignited the flame of inquiry, and offered sincere kindness.[/p][p][/p][p]In this work, we attempt to explore a deeper, more tender question: When the walls of reality prove insurmountable, can love construct an entirely new universe? What kind of resilient and splendid dream would a father weave for his child? This strange and wonderful house is, in essence, a grand metaphor. It is a labyrinth of challenges, yes, but it is also a cradle, sealed airtight with an all-encompassing love. Here, every successfully solved puzzle is more than an intellectual victory; it is an emotional confirmation, a moment of profound connection. [/p][p][/p][p]We have deliberately avoided direct narration, choosing instead to dissolve the deepest, most complex love between father and son into the details of the environment, to hide it within surreal interactions, and to engrave it upon the rocket that will ultimately burst through the roof and ascend to the cosmos. That rocket carries more than just a child’s destination; it carries the entirety of a father’s blessing, a wish that transcends time, space, and reality itself.[/p][p][/p][p]We have kept the familiar, slightly gothic, hand-drawn art style because we firmly believe that its rustic, handcrafted feel is the perfect vessel for the emotional warmth we wish to convey. As you immerse yourself in this world, we hope you can feel the breath in every stroke of the pen and see the light in the monsters' eyes—a light not of malice, but of loneliness and longing.[/p][p][/p][p]This journey is centered on "gaining"—not in a material sense, but in the enrichment of the spirit that comes after experience and empathy. You will discover that the most precious qualities in life, the very forces that allow us to soar through the most beautiful cosmos, are the crystals of will you collect along the way: Beauty, Curiosity, Courage, and Love.[/p][p][/p][p]We sincerely invite you to step back into this wondrous world, woven from memory, emotion, and dreams. Do not fear the strange appearances of its inhabitants; listen closely to the stories they hold, and use your wisdom and compassion to solve the riddles they present. This is more than a game. It is a shared meditation on the vitality of the human spirit; a hymn for every soul who has ever felt lost on the path of growing up, yet never stopped gazing at the sea of stars.[/p][p][/p][p]Are you ready? Go and find the rocket that belongs to you. Go and collect the medals that will be your coronation. Because every brave exploration, every curious gaze, every selfless act of giving, is a way of forging a medal of unparalleled honor for your own life.[/p][p][/p][p]We look forward to meeting you again, somewhere beyond the stars.[/p]
