Overview

The Monster I Mean to Be is a text-based adult adventure for players who want shapeshifting fantasy with a mix of exploration and encounter-driven scenes. It keeps things loose and curious rather than heavy or plot-serious.

Story

A nameless slime wakes up in a forest world with no memory of its past. Guided by a natural gift for transformation, it sets out to explore the land, meeting monsters, humans, and demons along the way, hoping that one of them holds a clue to who it used to be.

Gameplay

Play centers on shifting between forms as you move through the forest world, using your slime's transformation ability to adapt to different creatures and situations you meet. Beyond changing shape, you can adjust individual body traits for each form and keep separate looks saved per shape, letting you approach humans, monsters, and demons in whatever body suits the moment. Encounters lean into flirtation and intimacy as much as discovery, with no fixed path forcing you toward a single outcome.

Features

Transformation system with per-form body customization for chest, ass, and genitals
Sandbox-style forest world with monsters, humans, and demons to meet
Wide cast spanning male, female, futa, and furry characters across gay and lesbian encounters

Changelog

v0.1.4

Resized most of the images in the game's folder, this doesn't impact the image quality in-game but it does make the game 95mb smaller, if you play online the images should also load a lot faster now.
Changed the Leveling Up in the game, you now gain EXP by defeating enemies and can use it to level up instead of Essence.
Added a new Patreon-exclusive cheat code that gives you 696969 EXP.
You can now offer Essence as tributes to Gressil to help them regain their power, doing so will allow you to open previously locked rooms in the Castle Cave. Offering tributes will also lead to different lewd scenes with Gressil depending on the amount offered at once (Only one tribute option available for now, the scene changes depending on your current form and body parts, with multiple variations to the text. Images for the scene are still a work in progress).
Added the first unlockable room in the Castle Cave: The Bath House! After unlocking this room by offering enough tributes to Gressil, you'll be able to take nice hot showers and steamy baths that can help you relax and give you some stat bonus! (Every race and gender has multiple image variations for both shower and bath sequences, with the Human Female form having the most of all with futa and dark skin variations, while the Goblin Male form has the least amount of variations since I wasn't able to find many suitable images online).
Rewrote part of the "Help" sections to reflect changes made to the in-game systems + Added new help sections regarding the new systems.
Changed Cobalt's text color to a lighter tone, it should be easier to read it now. (Thanks to outlinedlizzard on F95 for the feedback!)
Added an Discord invite button to the game's sidebar. Come join us!
Fixed a bug where changing your body with the Pocket Mirror would sometimes teleport you to the main Mirror in the Castle Cave.
Fixed a bug where going from one menu passage to another (like from "Help" to "Journal" or from the "Pocket Mirror" to "Equipment") would softlock you from going back to the main game using the "return" button, since it would just go back between the two menus indefinitely. (Thanks to Carnan1999 and kiev98 on F95 for the feedback!)
