Monark Demo Now Available

NIS America has released a demo of FuRyu and Lancarse’s Monark. The demo is available to download now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. It lets players go through the game’s first chapter and transfer their progress to the full game. Alongside the release of the demo, NIS America also published an interview with director Fuyuki Hayashi.

Monark features contributions from developers of the original Shin Megami Tensei. The game is set in an academy within a mysterious realm known as the Otherworld. The academy is cut off from the real world and hosts a Mist that is driving students mad. Players team up and build relationships with four classmates, taking the role of vice president for the group’s True Student Council. Monark will release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch in North America and for PC worldwide on February 22, 2022, with the European PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch versions following on February 25, 2022.
