Description

MONOWAVE is a puzzle adventure through colorful worlds powered by four emotions. Alone or with a friend, express your feelings through song, empathize with your spirit friends, and solve puzzles to find your way forward.

4 Unique Emotions & Powers

As the guardian spirit of Emotions, you’ll be able to harness special powers based on Anxiety, Anger, Sorrow, and Happiness.

  • Happiness: Jump to reach new heights. Nothing can stop your glee!

  • Sorrow: Melt down to pass through narrow gaps.

  • Anger: Wall-jump with the power of your fury to pave a path forward.

  • Anxiety: Evade potential threats and navigate difficult terrain with your heightened senses.

MONOWAVE is a puzzle adventure game following the journey of Mono, a newborn Guardian spirit destined to protect the four Emotions: Anger, Anxiety, Happiness, and Sorrow.

For as long as one can remember, the four Emotions were guided and nurtured by the Prism Tree at the heart of the world. Everything changed, however, when the Emotion Shards within the Prism suddenly vanished, scattering the Emotions across the land. Upon their disappearance, the Prism Tree began to wither, throwing the world into chaos. It’s up to the newborn Guardian, Mono, to reunite the wayward Emotions and restore harmony to the land.

Our emotions may be turbulent and unpredictable, but they are ultimately what make us human. Uncover a heartfelt story about the complicated but meaningful ways different emotions manifest in our lives.
