Does it run in a browser
Yes. The developers list HTML5 first among the platforms, alongside Windows, macOS, Linux and Android builds, and the itch.io page loads the game in place rather than handing you a file.
The interesting part is what it was built with. This is a Ren'Py game, and Ren'Py is the engine most associated with the download side of this genre, the one behind nearly every big visual novel you have had to unzip. It can also export for the web, and far too few developers use that.
So the whole "Ren'Py means downloading" assumption is a habit rather than a limitation, and this game is the proof.
What you actually play
The genre is listed as visual novel and the tags add management, which is the honest description: there is a story to read and there are systems to run underneath it. Sessions run about an hour according to the developers, so it is structured in sittings rather than as an endless sandbox.
It is tagged gay and romance, and the art is pixel art rather than the rendered look most of the genre defaults to. Subtitles are available, which is rarer than it should be here.
Status is in development, so expect it to grow. The rating volume tells you people are not waiting for it to finish.
On a phone
The developers list keyboard, mouse and touchscreen as accepted inputs. Touchscreen being there is the part that matters, because it means the interface was considered for a phone rather than merely surviving on one.
English is the only language listed.
Why the Ren'Py detail matters beyond this one game
Almost every large adult visual novel you have heard of is a Ren'Py project, and almost all of them are distributed as a download of several hundred megabytes. That is why people assume the genre requires an install.
Ren'Py has had a web export for years. The reason it is rarely used is not technical, it is habit plus file size: a game with thousands of high resolution renders is unpleasant to stream, so developers ship an archive instead.
A pixel art game does not have that problem. The assets are small, so the web export is comfortable, and the game arrives instantly. That is the actual trade being made across this whole genre, and it is about asset weight rather than about engines.
Which is worth knowing when you look at the rest of this site. When a game here is a download, it is usually because someone chose visual fidelity over instant access. Neither choice is wrong, but you deserve to know which one you are getting before you tap.
Monster XXXperiment, answered
Is Monster XXXperiment free?
It plays free in the browser from the developers' page. They run a Patreon alongside it, which is the standard arrangement for a game still in development.
Does it work on a phone?
The developers list touchscreen as an accepted input, so yes. There is also an Android build if you would rather install one, though the browser version needs nothing.
Is the game finished?
No, itch.io lists the status as in development. It has accumulated 1,497 ratings at 4.1 out of 5 while still being built.
How long is a session?
About an hour, according to the developers. It is built in chunks rather than as a marathon.
