Our take on A Monster's Expedition
Rather than centering an adventure on combat, quests, or a linear journey, the game makes environmental puzzle solving and island discovery the main structure. Its fictional subject is also reversed: monsters investigate human culture instead of humans exploring a monster world.
What is A Monster's Expedition?
A Monster's Expedition is an open-world puzzle adventure set across hundreds of islands.
Players push trees over to form pathways and reach islands that may be nearby or hidden farther away. Exploration is tied to learning about human history and culture through the perspective of curious monsters. The game includes exhibits from the “Human Englandland” excavation site, accompanied by commentary that may include speculation, rumor, or hearsay. Its puzzle mechanics are presented as simple but offer multiple possibilities to discover. The game comes from the creators of A Good Snowman Is Hard to Build and Cosmic Express.
