Ahead of the game’s 22 February 2022 release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, Nippon Ichi Software America has released a demo of Monark onto each console’s digital distribution platform. The game will also be launched on the PC, however to date, no demo has been offered via Steam. So if you have been curious about whether this game is worth your time and money, head to the PlayStation Store or Nintendo eShop and check it out.
Monark sets out to ask the question… “How far will you go to save the ones you love? Could you face the threats that surround you? Could you face yourself?”. Granted, you are not in your own shoes, but you certainly can answer these questions through your in-game representation.
Your world is plunged into madness when the mysterious and deadly Mist surrounds Shin Mikado Academy. In order to save your friends, you enter the Otherworld, a Daemon-filled dimension beyond the real world. Within this enigmatic realm, you must learn to harness your Authority of Vanity and conjure a battalion of Fiends, whose power comes from the Ego of their master.
Develop your Ego through various psychological tests to enhance the power of your Fiends, and lead your forces into battle to fight with and against the seven “Pactbearers” that are corrupting the academy. Embrace the power of your madness to gain strength, but take care not to delve too far, lest you risk losing yourself. Fellow students and instructors will lend you their aid in your quest to resolve the anomalies throughout the campus.
Developed by FuRyu Corporation, who NIS America has worked with extensively in the past, Monark will be released from 22 February 2022 in western markets on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.
