About MONARK
Follow your ego and control the madness in MONARK! Your school has been engulfed in a mysterious and deadly Mist, and only you can save everyone inside. Develop your Ego and lead your forces into battle to break the pacts set by the nefarious Pactbearers, but take care not to delve too far, lest you risk losing yourself.
You suddenly awaken in Shin Mikado Academy.
Before you is a barrier separating the campus from the rest of the outside world.
Within the academy grounds are the madness-inducing Mist, cryptic phone calls that connect to the Otherworld, and seven Pactbearers–each with their own Daemonic Authority ruled by their Egos.
To resist the irrationality surrounding you, you acquire the Authority of Vanity, a Daemonic power that subsists off of your Ego and madness.
BATTLE
Fend off the madness in a turn-based, free movement battle system.
Your madness rate increases each time you use the Daemonic power of your Authority. Victory hinges not only on combat tactics, but carefully weighing the risks as well.
EXPLORATION
Investigate the cathartic thrills of Shin Mikado Academy.
To defeat the Pactbearers, you must search the area for special phone calls that connect to the Otherworld. But beware the Mist, lest it drive you mad.
Within the Mist lie puzzles that hinder your progress, as well as those who have already fallen into madness–the Unsettled.
