At the center of the adventure we find four dispersed Emotions, Anxiety, Anger, Sadness and Happiness, which Mono will have to progressively reunite. Each one directly modifies the possibilities of movement and interaction with the environment: Anxiety allows you to perceive traps, Anger allows you to make wall jumps, Sadness to cross particularly narrow passages and Happiness increases the height of jumps. These abilities will also continue to evolve throughout the adventure, opening up new possibilities for exploration. Emotions don't just affect platforming. In the world of MONOWAVE there are 18 different spirits, each capable of reacting differently to Mono's emotional state. Singing next to the creatures and alternating the four emotions will allow you to discover 72 different interactions, some of which will affect puzzle solving and exploration. The four main bosses will also be built around a specific emotion, testing what they have learned during the journey.
In addition to the main path, Studio BBB has included eight hidden levels, two for each of the four regions, along with several Codes dedicated to spirits, environments, worlds and Spirits of Emotions. The goal is to encourage exploration and further deepen the relationship between the game world and the emotional states that determine its rules.
"We wanted players to be able to experience emotions and empathy through gameplay," explained Gwonyeong Lim, CEO of Studio BBB, emphasizing how understanding the state of mind of spirits can directly become a tool to find a solution and continue the adventure.
MONOWAVE is available from today on Steam and Nintendo Switch for 8,99 euros, with a launch discount of 10%. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will arrive during 2026.
