Monochroma offers a profound visual, intellectual and emotional experience. The game has a unique approach to the story without using written or spoken words. Therefore, it is necessary for the player to be actively involved in understanding the narrative. The story itself becomes part of the puzzle. The very limited game, pictures and palette are used in an expressionist way to help the story. The player will find a lot of references to other movies, books and games in the dystopian world of monochrome. The challenge of the game is to make the player think of himself, in his role in society and in the system in which we live.

The game, derived from the story, is made up of a boy who has to take care of his younger brother, who hurts his foot at the beginning of the game. The younger brother is afraid of the dark, therefore the player can not let him down than to jump above and move faster, but the player can not leave him behind the real life.

Monochroma offers realistic locations and puzzles that combine with the environment. Puzzle models are far from the game of trials and arbitrary errors, but still challenging. If players die, the game has a quick control system that does not punish the player.
