Happy Halloween, everyone!
We've got a very special update for those of you who want a little extra spooky with your Monsters.
In addition to some fun content that's only available if you play the game on Halloween (or change your system time to match), the entire series is also on sale for the weekend. You can catch both Sometimes Always Monsters and Always Sometimes Monsters as part of Steam's Halloween Spooktacular.

Spread the word. Spread the terror.
We'll have more fun content in the next update, so stay tuned to our Discord, Twitter, and Twitch.
Halloween Pranksters
Players who are in their home, either by reaching the epilogue or never going on the tour, can enjoy a fun Halloween experience if they play the game on October 31st.
Speaking to your spouse while your computer's clock reads 10/31 will have them recognize the holiday and give you some special candies before they head out to visit a friend. If you're divorced in your epilogue, you'll have a special phone call fulfilling the same purpose.
In the evening on this day, you'll be visited by a string of children who've come for trick-or-treating and expect to be given candy. If you placate their demands, nothing untoward will happen, but messing with them or (heaven forbid) eating all the candy yourself may result in some rather nasty pranks being played.
Music Display
We've expanded the Music app on the player's phone to now display album artwork, song titles, and the band name through an overlay across the top portion of the screen. This comes alongside a renovation to the application that will allow us to continue expanding the musical selection hereafter.
NPC Cameo: Napostriouf
There's a new character on the beach of Gator Bay. He's chilling on the far east side, having a little picnic with some random street cats that have taken to his company. Be wary though, as engaging as his lengthy (partially French) conversation may be, there's definitely something off about him and his cats.
Here's what else is in the update:
- Fixed music resuming after players quit the Box Mover arcade game
- Added cooking oil, flour, and sugar guarantees to the home pantry
- Removed depricated script for displaying item collection
- Sleeping or napping at home now shows resting player animation
- Fixed an issue when trying to give the Desert Hermit more than 10 chickadees at once
- Hid some surprises in the epilogue house for divorced players
- Added two new World Fate statuses
- Fixed a looping conversation triggered by Sheena or Yasi with the Ash NPC in Slab Town
- Fixed sitting with Superfan to allow exit if player gets stuck
- Added real-time clock awareness
- Added two new songs to the Music app
