Monolith is a point-and-click adventure game, in which we must survive on a deserted alien planet. It was developed by Animation Arts.

Plot

Monolith is set in the future. The protagonist is Tessa Carter, a space explorer employed by the Intergalactic Mining Corporation, who has crash landed on a barren planet. On its surface she discovers an abandoned mining outpost, whose staff has seemingly fled in a panic.

Tessa must survive, restore the destroyed outpost and unravel the planet's secrets. She's not alone, being accompanied by C.O.R.E. - a small analytical robot equipped with some useful functions.

Mechanics

Monolith makes use of various cinematic camera angles. The player must traverse diverse areas, ranging from deserted outpost interiors to atmospheric wastelands. We'll spend most of the game solving puzzles; the player must be perceptive and clever, finding needed items and correctly combining them. Occasionally we must also operate the machinery left behind on the planet.
