About the Game

Mono No Aware (Mono) is a single-player, narrative-driven, mini-game blitz where players go on a journey of self-discovery to escape from the depths of an anxiety-riddled dungeon. Players take control of June as she is transported to a world where all her anxieties have come to life. To escape his dark dungeon, players must rewire June's brain by discovering memories scattered throughout the world, each representing a painful moment of June's life. Acted out as a small play by the game's over-the-top characters, these interstitials let players get a glimpse into June's mindset, telling the story of her traumatic past. To fight back, June will need to perform a wide variety of mini-games to escape.

June in the Middle of gems and guitar periphinalia

Mono is a wild juxtaposition of different game genres. It includes a collection of 30+ mini games, a shoot-em-up puzzle, hack-and-slash, along with a very silly yet dark narrative. All of these combine to be a wild 'effing ride; a definitively good (and sometimes sad) time.
