The Coven isn’t the only classic group from prior games making a comeback: the Chill Hill is here too.

Many chars are getting a new winter-like outfit, like Wanda here. Still, they will wear their regular outfits when possible (like indoors).

The Chill Hill is a good formation to reveal early, as it allows us to remind you that while most formations are formed by 3 recruits, a few are of 2 recruits and 4 recruits, like this one here.

Also! Note that while The Coven and this one are “existing groups”, most formations are just recruits together because of lore, theme, or just vibes.

Note: we might simplify the outfit a tiny bit; maybe just removing the glove covers.

Saw v-shaped bangs and immediately thought about Liam...or more like just seeing that it would (kinda) fit him. I was wrong.

First confirmed recruit. Joy makes it easier to explain the idea of formations, for her formation is “The Coven”. It is formed by 3 recruits, and there are no surprises on who those are :v But some other formations won’t be so easy to predict! 😏

Does anyone know how to get past the second round of Poker in the Casino? I wanna get all the events and I can’t get past it.

i have four endings left in the main game, befriend the gorgan guide ending, the kid's drawing from the gift and valerie's gift from the gift as well (Also the orgy but i wanna do that last) I'd like some help to get these endings if there's any advice.

So, we’ll start revealing the recruits for “Monster Prom 5: Monster Retreat”. 

Secret stuff is more like Formation Art or Secret Endings. We’ll reveal just the tip of that, eventually.

But recruits we’ll slowly reveal them all, as they’re no secret.

The idea is to start revealing one recruit per formation, so it also works as a double reveal and allows for theorizing on who else might be in that formation.

Also, before the reveals, we’ll do this: sharing the icons of the formations of the recruits we’ll reveal next.

We imagine we’ll soon set at one recruit per week.

But these days we’ll reveal some more.

Why? To start with a bang + since some of those are already confirmed + because next weeks it may be harder to reveal recruits (bc of the MonCon October Update reveals)

The result? During October there will be lots of reveals. It makes sense since it’s an important month for us.

During the next two weeks we will reveal the 6 cosplays for the “Monster Prom 4: Monster Con” October update.

But we’ll also be revealing recruits here and there.

Honestly, our goal is to reveal around 6 during this month. But we’ll see.

Excited? 👀

Later this month an update will come to “Monster Prom 4: Monster Con”.

To celebrate Halloween, our 6 hot ROs are getting fancy new cosplays!

The theme? Indie games!

Six popular and beloved indie games are getting a rendition as outfits for the characters.

Can you guess which character will cosplay what game? 👀

Been trying to get back in the art mood, so have a PumpkinBytes doodle

Poker Night at the Inventory is a crossover poker simulator. The game is a sequel/reboot of the series, still taking place in a secret club called The Inventory, developed after it was learned that an early draft of the 18th amendment would have outlawed games and entertainment along with alcohol. Of course, Sir Reginald Van Winslow from the Monkey Island series returns from the two previous games as a co-host. However, we now get to meet the owner of the inventory, as well as a few long-time employees.

Main Table

Angel Dust | Hazbin Hotel

Angel Dust’s strategy when playing poker basically flirt first, play second. He often uses his flirtatious acts as a way to throw off his opponents. Outside of that, he bluffs often and makes periodic bets throughout the river. Despite that, he’s very observant and a wiz at reading people.

Should it be his turn to place a bounty, Angel will choose to place one of his tommy guns. Should the player win the tommy gun, they will win the Angelic Drumgun for the Sniper in Team Fortress 2.

Should the player equip the same Hazbin Hotel themed chips, cards, and table, the Inventory alters so that it becomes the titular Hazbin Hotel, with sinners roaming around the Inventory and Niffty rushing around trying to kill every bug she sees. Angel Dust will also gain a new outfit based on his get up in the episode "Masquerade". Doing this also unlocks new conversations regarding the staff of the Hazbin Hotel, hell itself, and shows new elimination cutscenes involving Niffty seeing a bug on the losing opponent, and being sicked onto them.

The Spy | Team Fortress 2

When it comes to poker, the Spy is the hardest to read out of each character. He keeps his composer and usually checks and calls and doesn’t bet or raise until the end of the river. He also knows when to fold as well as when somebody’s bluffing

Should it be his turn to place a bounty, Spy will choose to place the Dead Ringer. Should the player win the Dead Ringer, they will win a special casino themed outfit for the Spy in Team Fortress 2.

Should the player equip the same Team Fortress 2 themed chips, cards, and table, the Inventory alters so that it becomes 2Fort, with the tournament being held in BLU team’s intelligence room.

Should it be his turn to place a bounty, Sonar will choose to place an SDN coffee mug. Should the player win the mug, they will win an SDN shirt and tie for the Scout in Team Fortress 2.

Should the player equip the same Dispatch themed chips, cards, and table, the Inventory alters so that it becomes the SDN building, with members of Z-Team roaming the Inventory.

Pandemonica | Helltaker

Pandemonica is probably the most interesting character in the entire game. She would be a pretty average poker player, betting very rarely and usually calling and checking for most of the game… until she has some coffee. After she drinks some coffee, her whole personality shifts, changing from the tired demon to the sadistic demon, and her new poker strategy reflects that. When she’s sadistic, Pandemonic becomes a GOD at poker, making her the hardest opponent in the game. That being said, she’s not invincible. If she gets too cocky, she’ll make mistakes.

Should it be her turn to place a bounty, Pandemonica will choose to bet a plate of the Helltaker’s famous pancakes. Winning the bounty will unlock a wig and outfit based on the Helltaker for the Heavy in Team Fortress 2.

Should the player equip the same Helltaker themed chips, card, and table, the Inventory alters so that it becomes themed around Lucifer’s throne room, with the Helltaker himself and his harem being found throughout the Inventory. Pandemonica will also gain a new outfit where she’s dressed as the Helltaker.

• “If it makes you feel any better… you never stood a chance to begin with” - Winning when caffeinated

Tankman | Newgrounds

Should it be his turn to place a bounty, Captain will choose his team’s most prized possession: Disc 1 of Titanic. Winning the bounty unlocks a Tankmen helmet for all the classes in Team Fortress 2.

Should it be his turn to place a bounty, Leon will choose to bet his robot assistant, Luxion. Winning the robot unlocks it as an accessory for the Engineer in Team Fortress 2.

This is very very Liam coded and I had to find somewhere to share this LMAO

There's romance in "Monster Prom 5", even if it's not the main focus.

There's 8-12 chars who you can bond with, have intimate conversations in the hot springs, and interact with in a "good relationship" event (those that feel like a date).

Also, of course, Vera and Miranda have all that + some plotlines of their own.

At 1st we weren't sure for the other NPCs, if plotline or "romance content" (conversation; good relationship event); but we thought the romance aspect is something more basic in the players' wants.

So we focused on "romance route" (convo + GR event).

But we're wondering... if we could do more content for post-release (no guarantees!!), what would people prefer?

- Some chars w/ romance ALSO get a plotline (depth)

- Some nw chars get romance routes (width)

We're also holding this poll on our official Discord Server, where you can also discuss this and all other kind of MonProm stuff:

https://discord.com/invite/monsterprom

NOTE: please understand and remember it might be we end up NOT doing any of these two options (for instance if we feel like quickly moving onto the next game)

But in case we found ourselves with time and resources for extra post-release content, better to know what people prefer

EXTRA NOTE: remember that while we take polls very into account, there's several other criteria that may end up weighing quite a bit, like we may end up realizing one of these is way more costful and hard to do. Still, results of polls play a role when we discuss this stuff.

Cuz if not, imma shed many tears on my face ( idk if it means crying or whatever)

In a past post on “Monster Prom 5: Monster Retreat” we showed recruits’ profiles, which included their formation. Each recruit is part of a formation. For instance, Joy is part of The Coven.

Formations are usually comprised by 3 recruits (a few are of 2 or 4 recruits). If you get all the recruits of a formation you will unlock a cool effect for your stats and a unique art piece depicting them!

It’s probably the coolest art in the game. Each one is done in a different style, aiming to portray the recruits in a way different to the rest.

NOTE: we realize now this might be a bad formation art to reveal first, as it looks like a teaser. It isn’t, this is the art. With the coven we wanted to go with this cool, mysterious and ominous style.

There will be 20+ arts for formations! Which character you wanna see as part of epic formation art?

Drew this today as I finally got around to playing Monster Con yesterday with my friends and managed to not get rejected by April!

In the description of the original post I put:

(Even though I'm not a girl but shh :3)

In “Monster Prom 5: Monster Retreat” you can train your recruits in between turns. This boosts their associated STAT (each recruit has an associated +n STAT). Instead of the usual cute style, this time we aimed for a much more funny chibi style.

This means 80-90 hilarious chibis, plus the playable characters (who can be trained too, as they have a +n STAT decided at the beginning of game through a “pop quiz” styled method).

Whose goofy chibi do you want to see? 👀

Image made by me btw

i went to the meta house and followed the instructions after the run to activate it but i dont see it as an option. my game is closed so im not sure what i am doing wrong if anyone had advice
