How it feels

Monobot feels like a lonely, atmospheric puzzle platformer where you guide a small forgotten robot through a desolate future, relying on careful thought and quick reflexes to uncover buried secrets.

What players say

Players enjoy the physics puzzles and rope swinging, but opinions split after gaining the jump ability: some find the precise jumps frustrating while others appreciate the challenge. At 2-6 hours it's short, with an obscure story told through collectible documents. Several reviewers compare it to Limbo or Inside.
