Monospaced Lovers: Prologue is now available for download! Try it for free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2388680/Monospaced_Lovers_Prologue/ The Prologue is an extended demo that includes all of Chapter 1, including the first boss battle (around 1.5 hrs of content). This is a standalone Steam app, so it comes with its own set of achievements and reviews, separate from the main app. Enjoy and if you're having fun, please consider leaving a quick review! --- Discord: discord.gg/n6GQhXy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@scarlet_string Email: mailchi.mp/2edf102a8670/monospaced-lovers https://twitter.com/scarlet_string

We're happy to announce that our demo v2.0 is finally ready for release! The update is live, so you can try it today.
The content of this demo is roughly the same as the 1.0 release, but it includes our all-new environment art, revamped platforming physics, custom-made sound effects, and more. As a whole, this release should feel a lot more polished than our previous demos.
As always, feedback is very much appreciated! Feel free to chat with us on Discord. You can also use the in-game feedback form to send us an anonymous message.
Finally, if you're interested in playing more of the game, we're currently accepting playtester signups! Join our Discord (linked above) for details.
And don't forget to add Monospaced Lovers to your wishlist if you haven't already!
Thank you!

Meet the Devs!
Hello everyone! As part of the Steam Game Festival, we're scheduling a Q&A event in our Discord! You're welcome to drop by and ask us anything about the game, or about game development, or pretty much anything else. See you then! :vanilla2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1164460/Monospaced_Lovers/ Twitter | Youtube | Discord | Email

Ch1 Demo w/ Dev Commentary
As part of the Steam Game Festival, we're happy to present a live streaming event featuring the first chapter of Monospaced Lovers! The lead dev (that's me) will play through the full demo while providing commentary along the way. The game contains a lot of text, and I'll try to approach the demo as if I'm a first-time player (while trying to ignore the fact that I've speedran it a hundred times). As a result, the stream could last more than an hour, but don't feel bad if you have to leave early. Will the commentary be useful, or funny, or otherwise interesting? Will the stream run from start to finish without any technical difficulties? The answer to these questions and more will be revealed soon. Tune in to find out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1164460/Monospaced_Lovers/ Twitter | Youtube | Discord | Email

Monospaced Lovers is a story-rich platformer filled with wonder and mystery. When Clara wakes up to a phone that isn't hers, she must journey through a strange but comfy world to find out who the God of Binary really is and why her new friend woke up to a phone that wasn't his.
We hope to capture a sense of adventure inspired by games like FEZ and La-Mulana, while delivering a whimsical yet emotional narrative inspired by To the Moon, Undertale, and much more.
The entirety of Chapter 1 is free to play, and it takes 1-2 hrs to complete.
We're still in the process of collecting feedback and improving the game, so we appreciate everyone who takes the time to try out the demo! In particular, we're planning to improve the environment art and create more assets to really bring the game's world to life. If you have feedback but you'd rather not comment publicly, please consider leaving anonymous feedback in our suggestion box.
Enjoy!

Clara wakes up to a phone that isn't hers.
On it, she finds a perplexing message left by a hacker named the Gòd o͏f̴ B̴in͠a̸r̨y̧, stating that her time left in this world is short. Her only clue is a series of encrypted messages locked on the device — and a mysterious new friend who woke up to a phone that wasn't his.
What does this enigmatic hacker want? Why is he talking about the end of the world? And what does any of this have to do with Clara's quaint and peaceful life in Haven Heights?
All we know for sure is that if she doesn't embark on this quest... her friends will drag her into it anyway.
✨ 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.
✨ Experience a heartfelt story with a 50,000+ 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.
✨ 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.
✨ Work through old-school puzzles that will make you want to use the in-game hints. We aim to create a sense of wonder and adventure inspired by Fez, Majora's Mask, La Mulana, and much more.
