What is this? VoidBound calls itself a sci-fi ero RPG with a focus on variety in combat mechanics. The ‘ero’ part referring to the erotic nature of the game.

BACK WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL… Monster Prom XXL is a Visual Novel/Dating Simulator that’ll have you flirting with your classmates. Whether it’s male or female, there’s no discrimination.
