Monster

A creature-collecting RPG where you catch monsters, build a team from them and battle other trainers. There are several entries here, and they play similarly enough that you can start at whichever one appeals.

Any of them works as an entry point, since each is self-contained. Dynamons 12 is the newest and Dynamons 9 is a solid earlier one - there's no story you'll miss by picking the wrong number.

No. Collecting is the biggest strand, but Nubik in the Monster World! is straight exploration and Geometry Vibes Monster uses the theme over a completely different kind of game.

Not here. The monsters in this tag are cartoon creatures to catch and battle rather than anything built to frighten you, so the tone sits much closer to an adventure game than a horror one.

Yes, all of them run free in your browser with no download and no account needed. You can start collecting from this page without paying for anything first.
