    Monster Tale is a Nintendo DS platformer and virtual pet game developed by DreamRift and published by Majesco in 2011.[2] It was only released in North America. It follows the story of a young girl, named Ellie, and her adventures in Monster World with her monster companion, Chomp. Together they must stop the evil Kid-Kings and return Monster World to its rightful inhabitants, the monsters, and also find a way for Ellie to return home.

    Controversy

    According to the game developers, there was pressure from the publisher not to feature a young female lead.

    This choice was actually somewhat controversial with some publishers. Our experience was that many publishers are looking to avert the risk of a main character that hasn’t been proven to capture large audiences. As a result, there was some concern from publishers that Ellie should change to a male or a more mature/sexy female.
