Monospaced Lovers is a semi-hardcore platform-adventure game that defies the traditional Metroidvania formula.


It features exploration-driven quests and puzzles reminiscent of classic Zelda, combined with a visual novel-inspired storyline that's equal parts emotional and philosophical.


The game strives to be original — a novel experience that's more than just a mashup of two existing genres.

Features

A sense of wonder and adventure

Work through unconventional, metafictional puzzles that will make you want to use the in-game hints. Rekindle that childlike sense of discovery with a game that treats you like an adult — inspired by Fez, La Mulana, Majora's Mask, and much more.


Plot twists and genre-defying developments

Experience a heartfelt story with a 100,000+ word count. Comedy! Drama! Social anxiety! Philosophy? We dropped the "silent protagonist" trope to create a heroine with her own personality and feelings — and she's always one step ahead of you.


A hand-painted world to explore

Chat up the local Tanuki, learn how to translate Slimespeak, and explore every corner of your quaint home town until you've found all 60+ collectibles. The game features non-linear, collectathon-style exploration mixed with RPG-style story quests.


Bullet hell meets platforming

Dodge bullets! With 4+ bullet hell boss battles and even more challenge rooms, you'll have to learn how to platform in a whole new way.
