Description

A failed mission?

Crashed on a barren planet. Hardly any memory of the missions goal. Equipped only with her own apprehension.

Tessa, a space explorer at the service of the Intergalactic Mining Corporation, tries to overcome this impossible situation and to escape this place alive. The broken ship will not provide her shelter for long. The only support she has got is a small analysis robot called C.O.R.E. and his few but helpful functions.

This is the beginning of a quest for fading hope. If she can not help herself and can not call for other people, she is lost.

An unknown planet

Although her prison makes every effort to pretend its uninhabited, Tessa finds an old mining station between rocks and swamps which belongs to her employer.

While exploring the old structure and trying to bring it back to life a bad feeling comes alive with it. This place does not look as if it was left orderly.

A traditional adventure

Embark on a thrilling and emotional journey which leads you through a dense, murky and suspenseful atmosphere. Control the game by mouse, examine your surroundings to gather information and to understand their connections.

Use your ingenuity, combine items and control machines in order to solve and overcome Tessas struggle for survival.

I enjoyed it. Was a nice change in pace from AAA games. I remember playing the THE DIG back when I was a teen. So the art style got me interested in this hoping for a story like that again.

I would've loved to leave a positive review, because the art direction is wonderful and story could've been good and quite resonant with a different execution, but unfortunately I simply cannot recommend Monolith. It

Monolith is a point-and-click science-fiction adventure that carries the unmistakable signature of Animation Arts, blending cinematic atmosphere with methodical exploration. Developed and published by the studio

Nice little Adventure with a message at the end. If you're stuck I liked that you can get detailed help within the game. So you don't have to check websites or youtube for it. :) Nice graphics and nice voiceover. A

It's too long, the story is confusing, the writing somewhat horrible. I would say AI might have helped, but even AI doesn't write human dialogue and interactions this sterile. The whole last act should have been
