Gameplay
Unlike its predecessor, Monster Girl Quest! Paradox RPG features full-fledged traditional role-playing video game mechanics, with influences from the Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei series of games. The player controls a cast of 4 main characters (with up to 8 in the sub party) and completes quests to advance the story. It has four basic modes of gameplay: an overworld map, town and dungeon field maps, a battle screen, and a menu screen. Players navigate from a top-down perspective and can traverse the overworld by foot or ship. Towns contain inns for resting, shops for purchasing equipment, minigames and NPCs that can provide the player with useful information. As the story progresses, players can also embark on a myriad of sidequests.

Job and Race system
In addition to leveling up normally, each character in Monster Girl Quest! Paradox RPG comes with a Job and Race that can level up through Job Experience. Jobs can all be selected by any character, while Races have a more limited accessibility, based on each character's nature and appearance. Both can be switched freely at the Ilias Temple and provide characters with different stat distributions, equipable weapons and armors, and skills and abilities when leveled up. Skills are techniques used in battle, while abilities are equipped in the main menu and give characters a multitude of benefits in different categories. Many skills can only be used by particular Jobs or Races, while abilities can always be equipped by any of them. After reaching level 10 on a Job or Race, characters master them and can unlock more powerful Jobs and Races. Each character also possesses a Unique Trait, which are character-specific passives that grant them individual strengths.

Combat and recruiting system


Enemies are randomly encountered on field maps and on the overworld, and battles are turn-based and play out in a first-person perspective. In addition to the standard HP and MP, characters also have SP, which are consumed when using certain skills and can be recovered by using normal attacks, defending, or at the end of each battle. The first four characters in the player's party participate in battles, but they can be switched with any characters from the backline with no penalty. Characters can use a myriad of skills in battle, as well as talk to enemies. Each enemy has an affinity level which increases when a player talks to them, gives the amount of money or item they request, and answers their questions in a way that satisfies them. At the end of each battle, enemies have a chance of asking players to join their party based on how high their affinity is. If the party is full, new allies are sent to the Pocket Castle, a miniature castle that serves as a home to all recruited characters.

In addition to recruiting enemies in battle, players can also obtain allies in a variety of ways, such as through main story events and through sidequests. If the player loses in battle, an H-scene occurs (these can be skipped through an option in the configurations menu).

Synthesize Equipment
Players can have characters upgrade their equipment by going to a blacksmith in various locations. Synthesizing equipment helps characters become stronger and more durable in battles. Items and Gold are needed to synthesize equipments. Items required can be found as loots from treasure chests, rewards from defeating enemies etc. Equipments must be removed from the character before upgrading.

Synopsis
The game happens in a world where the Slaughter of Remina didn't occur, instead being replaced by the Great Disaster. As a consequence, monsters and humans banded together to face this ordeal and became quite close. Furthermore, since Ilias no longer appeared to baptize heroes, the faith waned and most people think the goddess is dead.

The story follows the adventure of the hero Luka on his journey to find his father after the latter disappeared, leaving only the most cryptic clues as to his whereabouts. On his way, he encounters a small angel who pretends to be the Goddess Ilias and a small yoma who says she's the Monster Lord. After Ilias reappears at his baptism, the hero realizes his adventure will carry a great importance and his childhood friend decides to accompany him.

"Guided" by the mysterious White Rabbit, he recruits several other companions, gets the support of mysterious twins to help him sporadically, visits several alternate dimensions located in a strange place called Tartarus, and learns that the world is in chaos as three Monster Lords fight for power, all while helping the different communities he encounters. Furthermore, it seems three succubi known as the Lilith Sisters are also working behind the scenes to tear the world apart.

As he progresses, the hero learns that every universe is threatened to end into Chaos because they didn't follow the correct history and are contaminating one another.

He later learns that angels from another world are somehow involved in the disapperance of several communities around the world, and later ends the long-standing war between Grangold and the other human kingdoms that was secretly started by an outside influence. Soon after, the current Monster Lord declares a war of extermination against humanity.

When Luka explores yet another Tartarus, the Monster Lord attacks the major human settlements. After pushing the assaults back and dealing with the monsters responsible for the attack, he visits the mysterious Snow Continent where he learns of the origins of the Great Disaster from Ilias herself. A fight breaks out between the Lilith Sisters and the three second-generation seraphim, and the world is nearly destroyed following the intervention of powerful apoptosis, being only saved at the last moment by one of Luka's companions.

As the hero rests after his adventures, the White Rabbit shows up in the castle and informs him that, after a mistake from her end, an alliance of monsters from different worlds led by a mysterious Queen of Dreams are invading this world. However, heroes from those worlds have also been brought in by the system to act as a balance. Said heroes struggle together as the world is threatened to be swallowed by the "Land of Night" propagated by succubi who use a summoned Château des Romances as its epicenter, but they managed to hold off and Luka intervenes to eventually beat the Queen of Dreams and close the dimensionnal portal. The heroes realize that they're now stuck in this world, and after hunting down and recruiting the members of the monstrous alliance, realize that this world is in trouble as it is revealed the White Rabbit made the mistake in the first place because she was already weakened.

After the events of the Collaboration Scenario, Luka hears about the Yamatai Festival Event happening soon, Alice and Ilias with their band lead by Saki prepares for the festival, later Luka receive an anonomynous pizza delivery from Gob that's addressed to the Pocket Castle but the one who ordered it remained unknown. Luka takes the order and gives it to Alice or Ilias. Luka passes time and helps out Sonya later at 4 PM. After helping her and time passed 1 hour passed by at 5:00 PM when the event was suppose to happen, a mysterious force somehow made one of his companions go berserk and killed Sonya and Luka. Luka later wakes up then somehow he had a feeling that he is back at 1:00 PM, Gob appears again with the pizza, and the following events from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM were repeating itself, Luka's activityw were somehow looping itself back with no end, Luka slowly realising he is in a Time Loop and events will loop back unless he solves this mystery. He reviewed his experience within the Time Loop, he asked for Promestein's help but the third floor is being blocked by Kyooryu and the other stairs are blocked by genitauroses he asked Cow Demon Queen to lift the giant Kyoryu but she wants to clear her issue with Sphinx first and she discovers that indeed Luka was trapped in a Time Loop but only he has the ability to recognise this phenomenon. According to Promestein, any nearby female companion when 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM will go berserk and will molest Luka then he is sent back to the beginning of the Loop and the event loops to 4 and 5 PM. She asked Luka to gather information regarding this phenomenon and he must experience the loop several times to gather crucial information. Luka later learns about a regret from Daimyokai that ties to the cause of the Time Loop and that regret and also a certain tool that is causing the Time Loop called the Statue of Time Reversal created by Goddess Ilias a long time ago which she learns from Sphinx and she tells her that Captain Selene may have the statue. Captain Selene states she knew about the statue and the Beelzebub has it which they gave to him. With these evidence he finds Promestein which she takes her time to analyze the statue while Luka needs to gather more info once more and experience the loop again. Luka smelled a corpse like scent which he later found in Chrome's Room being help by Fredrica. Chrome was performing an autopsy on the bodies then Luka finds a strange makina which rumors to be excavated from a Tartarus, he later takes it and brings it to Promestein which she find it peculiar to be a high tech communication device a smarth phone. Luka was told to gather evidence once more. During the loop a certain White Rabbit appears but her face is pitch black and he asked her about the phenomenon, White Rabbit just spouted some information about the "Eye" and disappears. Luka also saw Astaroth in the Pocket Castle and wonders why is she here, Astaroth has been foretold of a prophecy involving Luka in the future by the White Rabbit and that their victory is assured. Luka then meets up with Kazuya who knew about the smart phone and its funtions as he is familiar with that technology. Luka goes back to Promestein and she had told Luka that only someone who is very knowledgeable with chaos can uncover the smart phone's cause of time loop. Luka then have Sonya translate Nuruko's dialogues and she was aware Luka was seeking to find a solution to the Time Loop he is experiencing at that moment, Luka then goes back to Promestein which she uncovers that there is a way to stop the Time Loop once and for all but first he must discover the owner of the cell phone which reminded him that Chrome has the bodies in her room from the autopsy. Chrome informs that one of the bodies was found in Finoa in the incident with the Land of Night, Luka recalls that incident and found that the owner of the cellphone is one of the corpses. Luka asked Chrome to help communicate with the dead corpse which she reluctantly agree. to his surprise that the dead body was in fact one of the seven heroes that was meant to stop the Land of Night and the Queen of Dreams but was killed by Myusca before making any contact with the other heroes. He tells that it was his fault the pizza man got killed because he was desperate to get out from the house that the Succubi Trio from where he came from and he is the main reason that his regret is causing the time loop. Luka with these information gathered he returned to Promestein, which she informs to Luka that she finally found the coordinates to where the dead corpse originally came from, the same world where the Succubi Trio came as well. Promestein with the help of Chrome performed the "Operation: Promestein's Gate and sends Luka to Toru's World. meanwhile in Toru's world he was surprised as he was about to make his escape and make a summoning. Luka came instead. The man named Toru tells Luka that he was going to make his escape and had his preparation ready but warns Luka that the door has been enhanced with magic as a trap for anyone that tries to escape luckily Toru has the ashes of a demon he killed along with the honey he got from the kitchen but lacks other items to escape. Luka warns that he must stop the pizza guy from coming into the building but he already called the pizza man. Luka had to improvise a way of getting Vinum away from him. Luka later returns to his world after getting killed, he was informed that he will need to gather items that Toru needs to deactivate th door and prevent the pizza man from getting killed by Vinum. Promestein offers a flash drive which contains a computer virus that he must install in one of the computers in Toru's world, he goes to where the Sphinx is, she will offer a book of Labyrinth as an attempt diversion in exhange he must solve three riddles. Luka solves them then he must get three hairs from three high ranking succubi, then Mephisto informs him that there is a thief who has a glove that can nullify the door's magical trap. Eva has the glove but wont give it to Luka unless he offers her pleasure. He agreed then she gives the gloves. He also needed a way to spike drinks which he gets from Alra Priestess that its enough to make Myusca go to sleep. Amira offers to help and get all the items for him in case he dies and goes back to the time loop event. Luka is now ready to stop the Time Loop which Promestein and Chrome sends Luka back to Toru's world. He tells Toru he has everything he needs to let him escape, stop the loop and prevent the pizza man from getting killed by Vinum. Luka had prepared all the tools and finds Vinum in her room. She is surprised that there is another human from a parallel world. Luka then traps her in the Labyrinth Book, she takes this challenge meanwhile Luka steals the jewel that he needs to put all three succubi hair to prevent him from getting shocked by the doorknob and finally they met the pizzaman outside. Toru takes the pizza just in time to stop him from getting killed, and Luka finally stopped the Time loop and is ready to leave but he witnessed Toru going back to the house, he attempts to stop him but just lets it go as he already solve the incident. Just then Vinum came back then smirks at th fact Luka stopped her plans and is now aware of Luka's actions in her world. Luka came back and informs Chrome and Promestein that he finally solved the Time Loop and its now 5:10 PM, ten minutes after the loop incident breaking the loop. Alice or Ilias then goes to Promestein's room and saw to her surprise that Luka, Promestein and Chrome are celebrating Luka's achievement over the Time Loop.

The festival has now begun and Luka can choose to go out on a date with Alma Elma, Alice, Ilias or Sonya. As they gone through the date event, Luka saw Vinum who seems to be aware of what he had done in her world during the Loop Incident but just let it slide and enjoyed the festival. Just as Luka and the others were about to end the festival. Luka tells his friends about the Time Loop Incident and that Nuruko is aware of the Time Loop event, they gotta be ready for another event like the Time Loop Event. Alice or Ilias assures Luka that no matter what happens in the future, she will be with him until the end. Luka is glad to hear that and he is firm to saving the world but was somehow receiving a different message from two entities, Judgment or Worldbreaker says otherwise that he will be judging the world or destroying in the future as his decisions, his friends asked what just happened with Luka but he disregards this though Sonya is suspicious of that.
