2015 video game

MonsterBag Developer IguanaBee Publisher Sony Computer Entertainment Director Cristian González Designers Cristian González Glenn Lazo Programmer Daniel Winkler Artists Cristian González David Rioseco Glenn Lazo Moisés Aguilera Writer David Rioseco Composer Ronny Antares Platform PlayStation Vita Release NA: 7 April 2015[1] PAL: 8 April 2015[1] Genres Puzzle, stealth Mode Single-player

***MonsterBag*** is a 2015 [stealth](/source/Stealth_game) [video game](/source/Video_game) developed by Chilean company IguanaBee and published by [Sony Computer Entertainment](/source/Sony_Computer_Entertainment) for the [PlayStation Vita](/source/PlayStation_Vita).[2]

## Gameplay

The story centers around V, a little [monster](/source/Monster) who doubles as a [bag](/source/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](/source/Graphic_violence) and [black comedy](/source/Black_comedy) whenever possible.

## History

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

Steven Hansen of *[Destructoid](/source/Destructoid)* praised the game for its well-designed gameplay and charming [slapstick](/source/Slapstick) humor, but felt that later chapters, with their more serious tone and complex gameplay contrasts unfavorably with the game's design.[4]
