MONUMENT VALLEY

Monument Valley is an illusory adventure of architecture and forgiveness, for iOS and Android devices. It won an Apple Design Award and two Unity Awards.

I was the lead designer and one of the artists on this project, made at ustwo.

'Monument Valley is the most elegant game I've ever played. Every aspect--the presentation, the puzzles, the UI--amazingly elegant! Play it!' -Tim Schafer

  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: There are two PC versions of this game; one is The Complete Collection which features the original Alice game, and the standard edition. You can get the standard in the Origin store but the Complete Collection can only be obtained if you get a CD Key from it elsewhere. The standard version was also formerly available on other digital shops like GOG and Steam, but have since been pulled and now Origin Exclusive.
  • What Could Have Been: According to Word of God, you really would have fought the March Hare and Dormouse at one point, but development pressures forced them to cut it.
      Advertisement:
    • Also likely to have resulted in What Happened to the Mouse? for a few characters in the game.
    • The artbook also shows lots of concept art and details that not only describe what you see in the game, but a lot of it is stuff that should have been in it but didn't make it.
    • Go to YouTube. Search Alice Madness Returns Beta Trailer. It's full of old stuff and development things that were planned but never made it into the game, like a swimming level, new cutscenes, new weapons, actual gameplay in the London stages and a rather bloody Victorian scene...
    • At least two levels were scrapped during development, one in a world based on M. C. Escher's work, and the other on the moon.
    • One page of the artbook depicts scrapped ideas for being able to smash through barriers while 'dashing' in a run or swim. Directly underneath is a scrapped dress design featuring streams of horse hair and a spiralling horn on her forehead, so clearly someone at the studio was thinking of Robot Unicorn Alice!

    • An example that also counts as a Take That!: Reportedly EA was giving American McGee pressure to ramp up the levels of sex, gore, and general Darker and Edgier Content (to the point McGee explicitly described what EA was going towards as 'Dante's Inferno + Alice') in the hopes that the game would get an 'M' rating close to the dreaded 'AO' rating. He gave them Shock Content, all right—the 'M-Snail', a deliberately Not Safe for Work monstrosity note with a friendly reassurance that he'd make sure it made it in the game. Needless to say, EA backed down and quickly, otherwise....
  • The Wiki Rule: It does have one.
  • The Cameo: It's possible to find Razputin Aquato's skeleton, complete with battered aviator's helmet, in the Queen's Castle, apparently having drawn a memory back out into the open. Apparently Alice's mind is just that rough.
