Your great adventure has come to an end. The real journey is just beginning.
You have spent eight months exploring a world transformed by the arrival of magical Zips, learning their habits and nature. Your plan to visit every corner of the continent is interrupted by an anonymous letter. The message is shocking: your father is dead. The letter reached you with a two-month delay.
You return home to face the bitter truth. The family farm you left behind stands empty and neglected. The only clue leading you to answers is a fresh grave candle on a nearby hill. There you find your father's grave. You spend a long, heavy night there, consumed by guilt and grief, with only one bitter thought echoing in your mind: "You were always there when I needed you... and I wasn't there when you needed me."
You have inherited not just land. You have inherited a mystery.
Now it is your responsibility. Your farm, your home. You must restore it to its former glory, cultivate the land, and make a living. But the greatest puzzle still awaits solving: Who sent the anonymous letter, and why are they hiding their identity?
The world waits to be rediscovered.
Lead and expand your farm: Restore the family estate to breathe new life into it. Tend to your crops and run your homestead to secure your livelihood and honor your father's memory.
Play in a group: The farm, Zips, and the mystery of the anonymous letter await you and your friends. Together you can discover the whole truth - in a group of 2 to 8 players.
Uncover secrets: Embark on a journey to unravel the mystery of the anonymous letter. The world is full of extraordinary characters, hidden secrets, and ancient ruins waiting to be discovered.
Catch and befriend Zips: Use the knowledge you gained during your travels about these magical creatures. Find them, earn their trust, and use their unique abilities to help you explore dangerous corners of the world.
Reconcile with the past: On your journey, you will learn the truth about your father, his life, and the secrets he kept. Why did the anonymous sender not reveal their identity? What truth awaits beyond the horizon?
Monterria is a story of loss, legacy, and hope. It is a game about how sometimes the greatest adventures are waiting just beyond your own doorstep. Are you ready to live it?
