Cologne

Monokel is a bunch of highly capable and highly likeable weirdos. We make games that inspire curiosity and awe and invite players to think. Our focus lies on meaningful mechanics, excellent craft, and empathy -- towards our players and each other. We try to emphasize and amplify the voices of every single person who works with us. We put self-organization over classical hierarchies and talent over resumes.
