MONOWAVE
SteamA whirlwind of emotions, rampaging spirits, and a topsy-turvy world. Will you be able to save it all?
MONOWAVE is a puzzle adventure game following the journey of Mono, a newborn Guardian 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, and the Emotions were scattered across the world. With their disappearance, the Prism Tree began to wither, and the balance of the world slowly unraveled. It’s up to the newborn Guardian, Mono, to reunite them once more and restore harmony…

Play as Mono, and use the empathetic powers bestowed upon you to navigate a broken world, one emotion at a time. Soothe the rampage of the isolated Emotions before they cause even more destruction. All straightforward enough…and yet, it seems there’s more to why your new wards are acting out.


As the guardian spirit of the Emotions, you’ll be able to harness special powers based on four emotions: anxiety, anger, sorrow, and happiness.


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.


Because it’s all about the friends we make along the way. Interact with the eccentric inhabitants of each world you explore. Your powers will resonate with them and affect their behaviors. Will they be friend, or foe? It all depends on your approach…


Traverse four unique realms, each warped by the fierce might of its ruling Emotion. From foggy jungles to blazing caverns — you can uncover them all!


With a graphics style reminiscent of scratch art from your childhood, MONOWAVE weaves a visual fairytale.


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