What players say

Players compare Monolight to Limbo for its minimalist black-and-white art and light-based puzzles. The game is short and free, but the English translation is so poor that the story is hard to follow. Controls draw mixed opinions, with some finding the double-tap run and switch hitboxes problematic, especially in later timed sections.
