MONOLOVE
An upcoming puzzle adventure game for the egocentric though affectionate nature of Love.
The Idea behind the Game
MONOLOVE is an indie game about the tripartite nature of love, centered around the mythological symbol of the Centaur, and revolves around eternal human dilemmas. A journey of search with a reflection: how much of us can we sacrifice for love? Although MONOLOVE primarily belongs to the category of video games, it is actually a multidimensional work of art with philosophical and academic implications. The idea of this game is based on the short animation film script MONOLOVE, which is also in the pre production stage.
