How it feels

A moody, monochrome puzzle-platformer that feels tense and oppressive as you navigate a dystopian world.

What players say

Players are split on Monochroma: many praise its moody art, soundtrack, and emotional story of two brothers, but just as many call the movement controls clunky and the jumping unpredictable, making precise platforming and timed puzzles frustrating. It is short, around four hours, and frequently compared to Limbo and Inside.
