If you like horror and female monsters/explorations of feminity in monsters, you might like We Know The Devil
We Know the Devil is a short visual novel (~1.5-3 hours, depending in how fast you read). Overachieving Jupiter, trouble-making Neptune and shy and awkward Venus are sent to a Christian Summer camp for troubled teens, which tries to untrouble the teens with a combination of the great outdoors, hard work, guitar backed sermons... and sending teams of kids into the woods to meet and defeat the Devil. It's magical realism/psychological horror/religious horror with great atmosphere and music, dialogue that is deep and feels like the midnight conversations you had when you are 14. It is also as a work really interested in themes of monstrosity and being the other and monstrosity-as-metaphor.
The fandom is small but very enthusiastic about its female characters.
As a warning though: there is some violence, and the main characters do get injured. There is also some body horror, but it's less gory and more eldritch.
