## What is Moncage?

Moncage is a stunning vignette puzzle adventure developed by Optillusion. 

The game takes place inside a mysterious cube, with each side of the cube housing a unique world: be it an old factory, a light tower, an amusement park, or a church, etc. At first sight, they may seem random and unrelated, but upon closer look, you will become mesmerized by the subtle and intricate ways of how these worlds connect…  

【Solve Puzzles with Mind-Boggling Optical Illusions】
Use your imagination and spare no brain cells to find the connection and pinpoint every possible interaction between different sides of the cube, then watch as the magic unfold in front of you.

【Collect All Photos to Unveil the Story】
Behind the puzzles, there lies a story with a surprising twist for the player to uncover. Collect the photos from obscure corners and angles to reveal the underlying story, one photo at a time.

【Get Unstuck with Thoughtful Hints】
There is a multitude of guidance systems to help prevent players from getting stuck. Focus can be activated to highlight the key items to the solution, while hint texts are available to provide further clarity. And, if all else fails, video walkthroughs can be unlocked as the ultimate safety plan. 

【Prove Your Puzzle-Solving Skills with Medals】
There are a total of 15 achievements in the game, each corresponding with a Medal that has been crafted with a uniquely stunning design. A complete collection of the 15 Medals could be the perfect evidence to attest to your master puzzle-solving skills~

### 3/5 — Pretty but poor controls

*2026-07-14, version 1.06*

Very cool idea and imagery. However, the controls are way too finicky. The stop points occur from not being able to correctly align or press the button. Game deleted after too many tries to raise the light lever.

### 5/5 — Waiting to play this game!

*2026-07-14, version 1.06*

I saw this game as a prototype at the NYU grad show sometime around 2019 and I was so impressed by the idea! I’ve been thinking of it since and trying to describe it to people. Ran into some of the program grads last weekend at a bar in Brooklyn and had to ask about it. Thrilled to learn it’s an app now that I can play! Chefs kiss. Such a unique and creative idea!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-02, version 1.06*

For anyone wondering if they should get this game just know that the intellectual combinations and soul melting, heartfelt story will make you appreciate this game much more to the point of making a review like this and maybe even make you cry

### 1/5 — Love this game

*2026-06-06, version 1.06*

This game is amazing and the story line is so beautiful. Honestly teared up at the end. The Puzzle of the game is so intriguing and brilliant. I’m definitely shouting this game out to friends. Please make more like this

### 5/5 — Great game until I couldn’t manage the timing

*2026-04-17, version 1.06*

I remember playing this game and I eventually get to a point where there’s some timing involved that was very complex and I couldn’t get past it

### 3/5 — Fun but short and overpriced

*2026-03-18, version 1.06*

My review title says it all. Very cool game but felt extremely short. It’s not an expensive game but it’s more expensive than other games I’ve played but got more content. Overall I really love the game and mechanics. But how short it was took a lot away from it for me.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2026-02-24, version 1.06*

Really enjoyed this puzzle story game… thinking in different angles that connect scenes was fun and the challenges quality without being too hard. Look forward to other games from this developer

### 2/5 — Cool concept but not worth the headache

*2026-02-07, version 1.06*

It is far too convoluted. They offer inconsistently helpful hints. Zooming in and out of scenes when the clues are indicating out-of-order actions is beyond frustrating. I just got the train into the lighthouse and I’m done. Not worth it, waste of $5. Spare yourself.

### 1/5 — Not Thought Out.

*2026-02-04, version 1.06*

This game is not intended or designed for iPhone. There are actions immediately next to each other, causing you to tap unnecessary things. I’ll even SEE the bubble of where I tapped appear in the spot I needed it to be, but it will still highlight the wrong thing. Beyond that, if there’s a storyline to this game, I’ve yet to see it or understand it. Because of that, I felt absolutely confused at every single challenge. Yes, after incessantly turning the cube, as there finite settings, it can be solved, but whoever designed this game, this is a lazy attempt at a logic/puzzle game.

### 5/5 — もう、何周めかなあ❣️

*2026-01-31*

パズルゲームなのに、ストーリー性が豊か
