Overview
The Monster Next Door plunges players into a chilling blend of romance, mystery, and horror, all wrapped in a BL (Boys' Love) narrative. Developed by Screechy Egg Studio, this visual novel explores the unsettling life of a protagonist who can see ghosts and finds himself in a precarious living situation. After being evicted by an ex due to his supernatural 'gift,' he moves into a rundown apartment complex where the landlord demands more than just rent. Amidst this grim reality, a glimmer of hope—or perhaps a darker omen—appears in the form of his neighbor, Ethan. However, the protagonist's spectral sight reveals demons lurking beneath Ethan's charming exterior. Compounding the unease, the apartment has a history of two unsolved murders. Players must navigate this treacherous environment, uncovering the truth behind the killings before becoming the next victim, or potentially succumbing to the darkness that surrounds them.
