MonsterBag is a 2015 stealth video game developed by Chilean company IguanaBee and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Vita.[2]
Gameplay
[edit]The story centers around V, a little monster who doubles as a bag. It wants to be with its friend, Nia. Unfortunately, they live in a world afraid of monsters, so V must catch up to Nia without being seen by any humans.
Each level in the game requires V to solve a puzzle while avoiding detection by the humans. MonsterBag, despite its seemingly cute and well animated visuals, pivots toward graphic violence and black comedy whenever possible.
History
[edit]According to Daniel Winkler, production on the title was challenging, as their status as a Chilean company and its small sizes made it difficult to acquire sufficient resources until Sony acquired the title's rights and assisted in development.[3]
Reception
[edit]Steven Hansen of Destructoid praised the game for its well-designed gameplay and charming slapstick humor, but felt that later chapters, with their more serious tone and complex gameplay contrasts unfavorably with the game's design.[4]
