Working With Montabi Turns the Creature RPG Into a Free Desktop Companion

Developer Mankibo has announced Working With Montabi, an inventive free desktop productivity companion planned for PC and Mac. The title expands the universe of Mankibo's upcoming creature-collecting RPG Montabi into a relaxing, functional everyday desktop utility.

Players can customize a cozy miniature virtual bedroom situated on their monitor to attract different species of Montabi, gradually cataloging their habits in the in-game Montapedia. Beyond creature companionship, the software incorporates practical daily workflow utilities including a customizable Pomodoro focus timer, interactive to-do lists, and an integrated lo-fi music player. The on-screen creatures even react playfully as the user types on their physical keyboard.

By transforming a creature-collecting fantasy into a gentle, non-intrusive productivity aid, Working With Montabi taps into the booming intersection of cozy gaming and digital wellness. The companion software will be available as a free download upon release. Discover cozy game spotlights on /news and track indie utilities on /release-radar.
