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.
