Welcome to MonoChromia

A land that has been overcome by the suppression of emotions.
It's inhabitants have lost their ability to see and control they're emotions.
Only you can see the emotions among them.

Please read/listen to all dialogues before skipping(SPACE). The voice actor(me) has put a lot of effort into it XD.

Help MonoChromia regain it's colors and emotional stability in this Escape-Room Thriller.

Thanks for playing.

Really cool idea, loved the goofy atmosphere and the block breaking stuff, Could not finish because the pig got struck behind the small table, When you use physics objects you can pickup you need to maintain a high level of control over where they can go to avoid players soft locking the game. you can also add a system to respawn the objects if they get stuck.

Thanks for playing!

There's a "Respawn volume" in the room, but it seems it doesn't cover well enough. Thank you for pointing it out,
I would love to hear your opinion on my suggested solution:
1. I will try changing the respawn volume(But I doubt it will cover well enough)
2. I will add a OnToyDropped Timer that will start once the player dropped the toy and respawn it if it hasn't been held again for 5 seconds

And thanks for the great advice, for future projects I will keep in mind to make sure the environment makes sense and controls where the player can take objects.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm really loving those moving lights.
Very nice game, I solved the piano puzzle and then I got this with music. Thought it might be the end. Love the characters and the voice over was done so well. Well done.

Hey Petraefa!

Thank you very much for the positive review!!

So after the anger level, did you manage to pass the Mania(happiness) level and save Monochromia?

I'll jump into your game submission first thing when I sit for game jam reviewing.

Cheers!

I think my game was bugged. Was stuck on the screen with the Anger character. I actually thought that was the ending.

I will have another go at it as soon as I get a chance and will update my comment. :)

I would appreciate it very much if you could revisit the game.

Now I understood what you meant, the game got stuck on the start of level 2! What a bummer I wasn't aware such a bug can occur.

In any case there is a "Select Level" option to select from which level to start in the menu so you can jump right into level 2.

I got to the end this time :P

If you want to try and replicate the freeze, I think it has something to do with the UI.
I think I clicked in the UI before the next level opened, so essentially clicking the widget twice before the code for opening the level ran. Maybe it looped or something.

But the second time round I didn't have any issues.
Very nice game. Missing some ambience sound but the rest is great. Awesome submission.

You got it right! The game got stuck in UI input for the chat widget and didn't go back to the Player Controller when the level transition is triggered while in UI mode.

Thank you again for playing and pointing it out!
