My Monsters is more than just another VR adventure—it’s a hand-painted journey that dives deep into themes of mental health. Developed by the Brazilian studio Ludact, known for their previous title Unbinary, this upcoming release offers a surreal and emotionally resonant experience.
The game takes place in Onirium, a dreamlike world crafted entirely with Quill VR’s hand-painted art style. At its heart, My Monsters combines third-person exploration, platforming, and environmental puzzle-solving, inviting players to reflect on their own inner struggles while progressing through the story.
You won’t face this journey alone. Alongside you is Moti, a small and frightened monster who symbolizes vulnerability and growth. Together, you’ll encounter creatures that embody psychological challenges such as loneliness, fear, and anxiety. As you advance, Moti gradually develops new skills, strengthening the bond between you and your companion while helping overcome increasingly difficult trials.
The developers describe My Monsters as an experience that goes beyond escapism. “We believe VR can be a canvas for introspection,” explained creative director Egon Ribeiro. “With My Monsters, every hand-painted detail is designed to resonate deeply with our own inner challenges.”
Players can also expect hidden collectibles scattered throughout each area, adding layers of exploration and replayability. Combined with the game’s unique art direction and heartfelt themes, My Monsters promises to stand out as both a work of art and a personal journey.
Launching on October 2 for Quest and Steam at $19.99, this title blends creativity with emotional storytelling, showing how VR can be used as a powerful medium for reflection as well as entertainment.
