Moncage tells an unforgettable story with creative "optical illusion" splicing and artistic narrative. In the exquisitely designed world of cubes, the change of color tone and angle adds a lot of fancy to the splicing. Instead of using words, the game lets the narrative do its work with the layout of the scene, the interaction of objects and the photos scattered in the corners. When players are getting closer to the truth, they will find that the gameplay has been further expanded, and the final true ending is even more impressive.
The storytelling is a little vague and lacks emotional punch, but if you’re looking for some innovative mechanics and visual artistry, Moncage’s perspective-based puzzles set in colorful cube vignettes are a marvel to experience.
If you’re not moved to play it, consider watching an online playthrough of Moncage. It deserves to be seen.
Despite a fragmented, impactless storytelling, Moncage is a fascinating and clever puzzle-adventure with quite challenging perspective-based riddles.
Moncage is a game that can blow your mind, but that ultimately fails to make the most of its impressive concept, relying too much on trial and error.
This is the kind of ornamental contraption that elicits oohs and aahs when examined from afar, but was never REALLY designed to be played with. [Issue#366, p.123]
On its surface, Moncage does so many things I like. Its narrative is conveyed through interaction, rather than through text or cutscenes. Its predominant mechanic is clever. It’s short. But it stands as an example of just how easily a game can be undone by only one or two critical shortcomings. There’s a world in which a few chewy brain teasers would be enough for me to overlook some one-dimensional characters–this is a puzzle game after all. One-dimensional puzzles, though, are harder to forgive.
