Astrolabe Games and Scarlet String Studios announced bullet-hell platformer Monospaced Lovers is coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 alongside PC (Steam) on October 31.
A free demo of Monospaced Lovers is also available on Steam via Windows and Mac, so players can get a feel for the new title before launch. Players can also wishlist the game on Steam right now.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, courtesy of Astrolabe Games:
Intro
Clara wakes up to a phone that isn’t hers. Journey through an introspective, fantasy-filled land and save your world before it disintegrates in this metafictional platform-adventure game about closeness and distance.
A sense of wonder and adventure
Work through unconventional, metafictional puzzles that will make you want to use the in-game hints. Rekindle that childlike sense of discovery with a game that treats you like an adult — inspired by Fez, La Mulana, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and much more.
Plot twists and genre-defying developments
Experience a heartfelt story with a 100,000+ word count. Comedy! Drama! Social anxiety! Philosophy? We dropped the “silent protagonist” trope to create a heroine with her own personality and feelings — and she’s always one step ahead of you.
A hand-painted world to explore
Chat up the local Tanuki, learn how to translate Slimespeak, and explore every corner of your quaint home town until you’ve found all 60+ collectibles. The game features non-linear, collectathon-style exploration mixed with RPG-style story quests.
Bullet hell meets platforming
Dodge bullets! With 4+ bullet hell boss battles and even more challenge rooms, you’ll have to learn how to platform in a whole new way.
