Press release:
November 28, 2025 – Tokyo, Japan In celebration of the upcoming DLC to Odencat’s successful Meg’s Monster, the independent developer announced that Meg’s Monster: Lost Memories will head to PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox on December 4.

Where it all started! Meg’s Monster hit the scene nearly 3 years ago with its own unique adventure style that garnered great reviews and coverage from many top media outlets. With its well written story and endearing, and some say emotional pull, it quickly became a much talked about title!

Meg’s Monster: Lost Memories is a collection of short prequel adventures that expand upon the world and lore of Meg’s Monster by letting players experience the heartwrenching backstories of five wholly unique characters:

An MMA fighter who steps into the ring to earn money for his ailing brother’s medical treatment.

A young girl whose bickering parents seem eerily on edge about her upcoming fifth birthday.

An unknown creature tasked with killing their target.

A man reborn into a monster after death, devoting his new life to improving the Underworld.

A monster child, raised in a laboratory and subjected to extensive experimentation.

Five lives. Five stories, heretofore untold.

Yet all beg the same underlying questions:

What makes us human, and could a monster be just like us?

What if humans were more monstrous than the monsters themselves?

(Estimated Play Time: Around 2 hours)

“We hope the DLC will allow those who loved Meg’s Monster to delve even deeper into this world.

Although the tone is considerably more serious than the main story, we hope you’ll enjoy it,” said Odencat Developer Ryota.

“This time, the content focuses on depicting the pasts of multiple characters. During production, we created a timeline to reorganize the chronological order of events involving the characters and the world, and clarified the happenings and movements within the underworld.”
