Gameplay
As a visual novel, a large portion of Monster Girl Quest's gameplay consists in reading the story's narrative and characters' dialogue, while ocasionally making choices. Combat is turn-based, with Luka and his opponent each taking turns to defeat each other. The game's overworld functions on a point-and-click system and is divided into different areas that the player can choose to visit or explore, with new areas becoming progressively available after clearing others. Dangerous areas have different recommended levels, though the player is free to explore them in any order. Despite this, the game has a very linear line of progression, with no different routes available. It runs on the NScripter engine.

Plot
The game begins with Luka having a dream with the goddess Ilias. She informs him that even though she created the world and all its beings, there is one type of being that she regrets having created, those being monsters. Ilias believes monsters are pure evil, seducing humans to commit forbidden acts and sometimes even commiting great acts of violence. She reminds Luka about how he is coming to his day of baptism, where he will finally be able to become a hero and receive Ilia's blessing. She then urges him to defeat the Monster Lord and bring an end to the existence of monsters. However, Luka has another ideal in mind: the coexistence between humans and monsters, something Ilias would not approve of.

Anime
A two-episode original video animation (OVA) series named Monster Girl Quest: Succubus's Fantasy was made by the animation circle Selfish (せるふぃっしゅ) and had its first episode released on January 27, 2017.
