About This Game

A DESKTOP VIRTUAL COMPANION

Place your MONji device in the corner of your screen and let it live alongside you while you work, watch videos, draw, or play.

In a world built around fast and endless stimulation, MONji is a slower experience.
A small creature growing over time, simply sharing your space.

RANDOM EVENTS AND STYLES

Your MONji grows from what it experiences.

Random events will happen to your MONji, and if you decide to interact with them, they will gain Style Points (SP) based on the nature of the situation.

There are 5 different styles:

  • Cheerful

  • Cool

  • Cute

  • Wise

  • Shy

These styles shape your MONji’s personality and will determine their future evolutions

EVENTS BASED ON TIME, PLACE, AND LIFE STAGE

A peaceful sunrise.
A strange encounter late at night.
A childhood memory that returns years later.

Your MONji experiences different events depending on the time of day, the places it visits, and its stage of evolution.

As it grows, its world grows with it !

A COMPANION THAT REMEMBERS

Your MONji remembers the moments it shared with you.

Certain memories, locations, or past encounters may unlock rare future events once your MONji becomes older.

The way you raise it quietly shapes the creature it becomes.

EXPLORE THE MONji WORLD

While you’re busy, your MONji isn’t.

Send it on explorations to discover new places, encounter unique events, and collect rare parts.

Every area contains different loot just for you to be discovered...

CRAFT AND CUSTOMISE

Use what it finds to craft a wide range of visual mods for your MONji device.

Mix styles, materials, and aesthetics to shape your device into something that feels right for you.

Or strange. Both work !

TAKE CARE

Feed it.
Let it rest.
Keep it somewhat clean.

Neglect your MONji for too long and it may become sick… or disappear entirely.

But no worry — just start over, that's the privilege of being digital.

CHROMA MONjis (THEY EXIST!)

Some MONjis hatch… differently.

Brighter colors.

Little sparkles.

Slightly suspicious aura.

They’re rare and possibly special, no one’s completely sure...

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

I (the developper) am a former artist with poor skills in technical aspects of game development such as coding. In that regard, AI was used mainly to fasten the process of development of the game such as:
- help for technical aspects when I couldn't do it due to my limited skills.
- generate a database of random text events based on my own texts and mood that I want for the game. The game contains hundreds of different events that I couldn't afford to write all of them in such a short time. Events are then all checked and corrected by myself to ensure they all fit within the game.

I am not proud of using AI as I am directly concerned by it as an artist myself. But this was my only chance to fulfil my dream of making my own game in a limited time and I want to be transparent with the players that might feel uncomfortable with it.

No AI was used for any other part of the game such as art or sound effects.
