‘The ensemble about loneliness.’ Inspired by classic SRPGs, “Monads” is a trilogy series that adds the charm of the story of colorful characters intertwining with their own views and worries to battle rules represented by tile-based turn-based battles.

There are three main characteristics that distinguish ‘Monads’ from other games that look similar.

• First, units “retreat” before they die if enough damage accumulates. a parameter named ‘Will’ decreases depending on events in battle, such as being damaged or friendly units being removed. This will make the unit retreat easily. Of course units can die, if you don’t give a chance to retreat and do a lot of damage. In this case, the vestige remains in the tiles and lowers the will of the surrounding units, regardless of if it is friendly or not. These will require deeper thought as the difficulty increases. And ‘Will’ also affects ‘Morale’, which is a shared resource needed to use Ultimate skills.
• Secondly, it has the rules of puzzle game in macroscopic view. No random, so same behavior always leads to the same result, and you can revert and try different actions whenever you want. While encouraging new strategic attempts by players, the frustration from mistakes is intended to be minimized.
• Finally, we completely ruled out meaningless repetition. The fastest way to grow a character and gain new abilities is to just follow the scenario. But players who enjoy new attempts and challenges can retry former stages with all characters. There is no reward for repeating same play, but providing additional skill points from higher difficulty reflects the ‘aesthetics of challenge’, core intention of this work.
