Unique mystery game Monkeybox #1: Polarized is out now for iOS

TheCodingMonkeys have just released Moneybox #1: Polarized for iPhones and iPads everywhere. The game is about solving a mystery that is full of question marks. 

It takes place at a house and revolves around a missing girl. Word is that she ran away, but that doesn't actually appear to be the case at all. You're brought in to find out what exactly happened to her. 

This game is unlike any other game I've played on mobile. It's not your typical explore and interact game.

Sure, there is plenty of that as you navigate the world and gradually piece together the truth. However, there's more to it than you think, with a new way to solve mysteries that involves the real world.

You will need to use your iPhone's camera to get the full effect of the game. There will be times in Polarized where you'll need to take pictures of certain items in the real world, which is pretty neat. 

For example, perhaps you need a chair to reach out a high-up object? Well, you can take a picture of a chair in your house and have it brought into the digital world. Yup, that's right. Like magic. 

If you feel like might not have the required items lying around your house to progress, don't worry, Polarized doesn't ask for anything overly specific. 

Will you be able to solve the mystery of that cold winter night? The power of the camera is in your hands. 

Take snaps, make items, solve the puzzle. 

Moneybox#1: Polarized is available for $2.99 over on the App Store
