About this game

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.

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: Dive underwater and flow through subterranean passageways to reach unexplored depths.

  • 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.

A Heartfelt Journey of Empathy

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.

Colorful Cast of Characters

Interact with the eccentric inhabitants of this world. Your powers will resonate with them and affect their behaviors. Will they be friend, or foe? It all depends on your approach…

Four Unique Worlds

Traverse four unique realms, each warped by the fierce might of its ruling Emotion. From foggy jungles to blazing caverns, it’s up to you to restore balance to each Emotion-based ecosystem!

A Whimsical Art Style

With a graphics style reminiscent of scratch art from one’s childhood, MONOWAVE evokes a timeless fairytale with universal appeal.

Original Soundtrack

The world of MONOWAVE is brought to life with an all-original, exclusive soundtrack.

Controller Support

Controller operation is required for 2-player mode.
