MONARK is a unique turn-based RPG that invites players into a psychologically charged school setting where they confront their innermost fears and desires. Developed by FuRyu, the game takes place in an enigmatic academy isolated from the outside world, where students are unable to escape its bounds due to a mysterious force. Players take on the role of a protagonist who is tasked with navigating this compelling yet ominous environment, building relationships with a diverse cast of characters while uncovering the dark secrets that lurk within the school's hallways.
At its core, MONARK combines traditional RPG mechanics with strategic turn-based combat, where players utilize a unique "Authority" system that allows them to summon powerful allies known as "Powers." These Powers are manifestations of the characters' psychological struggles, which players can harness during battles against various foes. The game emphasizes elements of choice and consequence, enabling players to shape their story and develop deep connections with their companions. Throughout the journey, players are encouraged to explore themes of mental health and perseverance as they confront challenging adversaries and unravel the intricate narrative woven into the fabric of the academy.
