About Monolith
A failed mission?
Crashed on a barren planet. Hardly any memory of the missions goal. Equipped only with her own apprehension.
Tessa, a space explorer at the service of the Intergalactic Mining Corporation, tries to overcome this impossible situation and to escape this place alive. The broken ship will not provide her shelter for long. The only support she has got is a small analysis robot called C.O.R.E. and his few but helpful functions.
This is the beginning of a quest for fading hope. If she can not help herself and can not call for other people, she is lost.
An unknown planet
Although her prison makes every effort to pretend its uninhabited, Tessa finds an old mining station between rocks and swamps which belongs to her employer.
While exploring the old structure and trying to bring it back to life a bad feeling comes alive with it. This place does not look as if it was left orderly.
A traditional adventure
Embark on a thrilling and emotional journey which leads you through a dense, murky and suspenseful atmosphere. Control the game by mouse, examine your surroundings to gather information and to understand their connections.
Use your ingenuity, combine items and control machines in order to solve and overcome Tessas struggle for survival.

The problem is inconsistency. Graphics, puzzles, writing, gameplay. The quality of everything goes up and down throughout.5 found this helpful
There is just too much unnecessary dialogue! quite annoying but has not stopped me playing if it wasnt for those things then I would recommend the game. However the artwork is quite unique puzzles not bad good atmosphere. i only just recommend this game. I liked the story at first but then was disappointed when i found out what it was really about. I was not sure whether to recommend or not this was a hard descision3 found this helpful
The puzzles are good, except when they aren't which is only once or twice. There's usually too many items in the inventory which gets annoying fast. FMVs and english voice acting are PS2 tier, so be warned.1 found this helpful
really,really good game i would recommend it for everyone.1 found this helpful
Really nice little adventure with some rough edges but absolutely logical puzzles except some minor things where you can and probably will be stuck, but in such case there is an integrated walkthrough for your convenience :) The story has a nice twist in the third act but overly melodramatic for my taste. The game is definitely recommended for adventure games fans, though, so buy with convenience :)1 found this helpful
I feel bad about advising against it, because it does have its good points, until you reach the end, where the game turns into something different – frustrating, ridiculous… I don’t know if this was the original script or something else, because something just doesn’t feel right [spoiler] from the moment you enter the Monolith[/spoiler]. What begins as a sci-fi adventure with good graphics, a great atmosphere, good music, decent dialogue, interesting puzzles, and so on, turns, in the final stretch, into something truly ridiculous, to the point where I’ve decided to give up on it and uninstall it. As I’ve decided to give up on it, I don’t know exactly how it ends, but from what I’ve seen so far, I haven’t liked it… it seems the underlying message is that a woman should devote herself to looking after her family rather than wasting time on adventures or personal projects. I wish the developers had simply followed the game as a point-and-click sci-fi adventure rather than [spoiler] taking that twist where it all turned out to be a dream… what an overused and inappropriate trope here.[/spoiler] On the other hand, given how cheap it is at the moment, I’d recommend that fans of the g…
