About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're the type who loves a good mystery and prefers unraveling secrets over destroying components, Adventure Games: Monochrome Inc. is your next destination. Part of an amazing series from KOSMOS, this title puts you and your friends on a spy-movie-worthy infiltration mission. The goal is simple, but the execution is full of tension: you must break into a mysterious research building and discover what's really happening behind those mirrored windows. The real standout here is that, unlike other escape room games like the EXIT series, you don't need to tear anything up or ruin the materials to play. Everything is driven by choices and exploration. You'll traverse settings, talk to characters, collect clues, and combine items to piece the plot together. And here's the best part: the story isn't linear! Your decisions shift the course of events, meaning there are different paths and even multiple possible endings for the tale. The game is split into three chapters, each taking about 75 minutes, making it perfect for a night focused on storytelling. It's a purely cooperative experience, where communication is your greatest tool to avoid pitfalls and complete the mission successfully. If the group isn't in sync, the mystery could end in disaster, but that very risk makes each chapter a unique and thrilling adventure. Get your flashlights ready (metaphorically, of course!) and prepare to dive into a narrative where every choice counts.
