Museum of Monoliths

Гра дуже вайбова. Атмосфера саспенсу, яка створена самою перспективою та музикою, зашкалює. Чесно, нерви перестали витримувати вже на четвертому рівні, але гра вартує того, щоб у неї зіграти.

As I understand it, this is a game about loneliness. I feel a strange mix of emotions when I walk through these locations.

I think... I think this game is kind of like a white room in spirit. It's liminal, so soon enough your own brain starts filling in the blanks without really burdening you with an expectation of arrival. I found it simultaneously unsettling and very relaxing. Completely alien yet very familiar (having grown up in ye olde commie blocks myself). Wondering what you're building here, or summoning, or undoing or reinforcing with making your own music If there's a point. If I'm making my own point. I'm just sitting here frowning towards the screen and sort of staring into the middle distance, trying to figure out what I just experienced, but all I know is that I liked it immensely. I 'get it'. I don't know what it is I'm 'getting' exactly, it's just that I get it.

An interesting showcase of environmental design with impeccable ambience. I'd describe it as walking through dreams.

Філіп Гавкіт Люблюкрафт, у двадцятому столітті (або нам так здається) посилив у літературі, у дискурсі: поняття Жаского. Жахливого. Як прямий послідовник Алана Едгара П'ю. Інший медіум: важка електронна музика. Так звана, "темна музика". Третій, але точно не фінальний, бо суспільство (не) чекає на ШІ-революцію, Інтервенцію Бога-з-Машини, після ніцшеанської Смерти Бога -- третій етап -- відеоігри. Четвертий же контекст у Музеї Монолітів: ментальний криз трансцендентної людини. Викрикую лот п'ятдесятий: "І куди нам податися!?" / Чи залишається тільки йти... / *Дякую за вашу гру!

You walk from point A - B while being in very unusual, mysterious, eerie and fascinating locations. I wish there was abit more to it such as notes, texts, anything to cling onto to help you build an idea of what these locations are, how they are formed, what caused it to be like this etc. Anything to keep your mind full of questions while exploring these locations make them more interesting to speculate. It's about 1 hour long, 10 levels and it's a walking simulator with really interesting visuals which i always welcome.

I got this game on sale, as it stuck out from the wall of options I had. I'm intrigued by thalassophobia, and this game falls right alongside that genre. Museum of Monoliths is a masterpiece. Truly. While the game is relatively short, one can proceed at a slower pace and admire the scenery. In my opinion, each environment presents questions as I try to make sense of what lies before me. And unfortunately, those questions often go unanswered. Additionally, the museum is not so on rails that I can daydream whilst playing, but not difficult to where I'll get lost; it's enough to keep one engaged yet constantly wondering what's next. And personally, I found myself well immersed in the game during my play-through despite being aware of the simplistic scenery and assets. That is to say, all aspects of the game came together well to form the short story. I recommend Museum of Monoliths to those who enjoy scenery and speculation. While I tend to opt more for fast paced games, this one proved to be a most enjoyable change of pace.
