MonsterGuest

The release date for MonsterGuest is July 22, 2026, on PC. Developed and published by Jay, this indie simulation tasks you with running a festival food stall where the customers are either local villagers or the dangerous monsters they worship. Your success depends on your ability to correctly identify these creatures using a battery-powered camera and a reactive doll to ensure you serve the right meals.

The tension comes from a strict time limit and a revenue goal you must hit before your equipment fails. You are effectively playing a high-stakes identification game where serving regular food to a monster results in a sudden jump scare. The inclusion of blood-stained food as a specific mechanic for monsters adds a dark twist to the standard management loop. It is a focused horror experience designed for short, high-pressure sessions of under an hour.

Pick this up if you want a stressful mix of resource management and horror logic puzzles.
