Cassette Beasts is fun

Based on something that happened in game when I was travelling on Lake Wirral with Kayleigh...

The way partners follow you will never not be funny.

Songtober day 1: Pixel Terror - Submerge

Stop going batshit about Saint Motel and STARSET, and acknowlage your other 24 favorite music people.

I don't know about you, but that's not how my hyperfixations work. Eat it Teminite.

"How the heck did I avoid getting a massive crush on A/J Jackson AND/OR Dustin Bates."

Wait, I mean... when you've been hyperfixating your brains out over cool music people for 5 years straight, how cute they are really stops being important.

Triple Threat!!

"Fire A/J Jackson into space!"

Reblog if people are literally ALWAYS allowed to make fanart/headcanons of your characters and tag you!

I am not the first person who has said this, but it is indeed surprising that Cassette Beasts does not have a big fandom on Tumblr, given that it has just about everything average Tumblr users want:

A wide variety of creatures whose forms you can collect, so you can transform into them in battle

Multiverse setting, which provides unlimited fanfiction potential

Character creator with pronouns options, including they/them

LGBTQ+ representation, including all the human party members who are bi and can be romanced regardless of the player's gender, a pair of NPCs are an actual canon old married lesbian couple, and an NPC who is canonically non-binary and uses they/them pronouns

Romanceable party members also mean you can form a battle couple with your favourite party member

Racially diverse cast of human characters: There are visibly Black and brown characters in both the main and supporting cast, including the party members

A playable dog character

Anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist messages

You can literally beat up estate agents and their boss

Higher friendship with your companion allows you to fuse your monster forms and makes you stronger in battle

etc. etc.

The only reason I can think of is the fact that Cassette Beasts is an indie game, but Tumblr has a fair amount of indie video game darlings, such as Stardew Valley, Disco Elysium, Undertale, Night in the Woods, etc.

Another reason is that many Pokémon fans are frustratingly reluctant to try or dismissive of monster collecting games that are not Pokémon, even if they complain about the latest Pokémon titles.

So here is your reminder to go play Cassette Beasts if you have not already.

Originally, I was just going to draw it as your average mutant werewolf monster, but decided that eldritch amalgamations that were dragged up from hell, as a sin to nature itself, were much more fun! :)
