A small figure in a red cape stands beneath a crescent moon. In MONOMOON, the moon is more than a backdrop: its light helps reveal a world built around looking closely, experimenting and finding your own way.
Developer Gentle Giant released the exploration-driven puzzle adventure on Steam for PC on November 11. The game combines platforming with point-and-click interaction, trading combat for observation and discovery.

A world that speaks in pictures
Gentle Giant says MONOMOON contains no dialogue and communicates through its visual design. Its press-kit images set a bright, easily recognisable character against deep blues and greens, while crescent shapes draw attention to points within the scene.

That visual contrast gives the eye places to land without explaining every detail. In one official screenshot, a glowing moon symbol sits beside a blue building, with another crescent visible nearby. The image suggests a relationship worth investigating, while leaving the solution to the player.
Knowledge opens the way
The developer describes a small, non-linear world with hidden mechanics and layers of puzzles. According to the launch announcement, players can manipulate moonlight to illuminate passages and interact with creatures to reach new areas.
Gentle Giant estimates around ten hours for a playthrough, with more secrets for those who keep exploring. MONOMOON is available on Steam for PC; its store page recommends keyboard and mouse, while also supporting controllers.
