Mona: The Endless Journey News

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]The Steam Next Fest: February is almost here! [/p][p]Today, we'd like to introduce you to two girls who will be fighting by your side.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Lisa — The Pillow-Wielding Guardian[/h3][p]A dark-skinned girl who may appear fragile, yet always stands in front of her companions. The seemingly ordinary pillow in her arms transforms into an unbreakable absolute shield in the dream world. When waves of malice come crashing in, she chooses to bear it all—just to protect those beside her.[/p][p]She's used to agreeing with others, used to saying "Okay" and "I'll do my best." Beneath her gentle exterior lies a soul that struggles to say no, yet remains incredibly resilient.[/p][p][/p][h3]Mona — The Blade That Tears Through Air[/h3][p]A pale-skinned girl with messy shoulder-length hair—silent, yet razor-sharp. She doesn't bother to explain herself, nor will she compromise. Her wild, unkempt hair is her most devastating weapon, capable of shredding any obstacle with ferocious strikes.[/p][p]"Why should I?" is her most common response to others. A lone wolf, fierce and untamed—yet in critical moments, she unleashes power that leaves everyone in awe.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In battle, you can freely switch between Lisa and Mona—use Lisa's shield to neutralize deadly blows, then swap to Mona the instant enemies show an opening and unleash a devastating counterattack.[/p][p][/p][p]💬 If you'd like to discover more of their story, add Mona: The Endless Journey to your wishlist now![/p][p]✨️ From February 23 to March 2, during Steam Next Fest, you can play the latest demo for free—we can't wait for you to join us![/p][p]Every wishlist really means the world to our small indie team![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]About This Game[/p][p]Mona: The Endless Journey is a 3D action RPG.

[p]Hi everyone~[/p][p]In preparation for the upcoming Steam Next Fest, we've rolled out a new version of our game demo. This update brings comprehensive polish and optimization to the gameplay experience, along with exciting new content—all to make your adventures in the dream world more immersive, smooth, and full of surprises.[/p][p]Steam 上的 莫娜：无尽的旅途 Demo[/p][p][/p][h3]✨ Demo Update Highlights ✨[/h3]

1. [p]Tutorial Area Fully Upgraded
   We heard your feedback about the steep learning curve, so we completely rebuilt the starting experience. We've constructed an entirely new tutorial area. The revamped tutorial adopts a more intuitive, guided approach that seamlessly integrates with environmental storytelling. Through hands-on practice, you'll naturally master basic controls, core combat techniques, and key abilities for interacting with the environment.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
2. [p]Badge System Renewal [/p][p]We've significantly expanded the badge system, allowing you to unlock more slots by collecting items and combine a richer variety of badge effects. [/p][p]✔ Equipment Slot Expansion: You can now unlock additional badge slots by discovering hidden items throughout the map. [/p][p]✔ Enhanced Badge Effects: Badges are no longer just stat boosts—they can now unlock diverse effects, including equipping extra items, granting unique action abilities, and more. [/p][p]Flexibly adjusting your badge combinations based on enemy characteristics, companion abilities, and level challenges will be key to overcoming obstacles and delving deeper into exploration.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
3. [p]Parkour Area Debut
   We've carved out dedicated parkour areas within the dream world. Here, you'll face continuous platform jumping, precise timing challenges, and interconnected action sequences. Collapsing beams, swaying ruins, and fleeting footholds—every step demands your full concentration. Successfully traversing these areas not only yields generous rewards but also serves as the ultimate test of your skills.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
4. [p]Avian Monster Dimension Arrives
   Hold your pillow tight and prepare for aerial assaults! These flying enemies, each with distinct forms and behaviors, will bring an entirely different combat experience. Swift and skilled at diving attacks, they'll test both your reflexes and strategy.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
5. [p]Ambient Creatures Added
   The corners of the dream world are filled with tiny lives and strange sights. We've added many non-hostile ambient creatures—beneath fractured beams and beside abandoned pottery, you'll spot small critters scurrying about. Most are harmless, yet unsettling enough to keep you on edge.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
6. [p]Character and Scene Audio Expanded
   Character actions and environmental interactions now feature richer, more fitting audio details. Scene ambience has been expanded and optimized, with each area possessing its own unique soundscape—including the surging tides washing over ruined beaches, the low whisper of wind through broken walls, and more. Combined with the music, these elements weave together a more immersive and oppressive dream atmosphere.[/p][p][/p]
