Meme Myth: Wukong is a game that transforms the legend of the Monkey King into a wacky and humorous puzzle-adventure, with oddball and bizarre puzzle-solutions that will have you laughing at the absurdity. Unlike other games where you fight your way through a serious action movie plot, you find yourself solving ridiculous and illogical situations, with sometimes even non-logical solutions. But this unpredictability is part of the appeal.
Each level requires you to approach the problem in a new way, observe small visual clues, and come up with unique ways to interact with objects on-screen which may initially appear nonsensical.
Main Controls
- Use MOUSE and LEFT-CLICK
Gameplay Overview
Meme Myth: Wukong is an absurd comedy puzzle-point-and-click game based on surrealism, absurd logic, and unexpected meme-based results. Every level takes you to a brand-new scene featuring a mischievous monkey-hero, weird characters and meme-style results. The primary objective is to solve the scene by identifying the hidden interaction that advances the story.
Unlike many other puzzle games that require rapid-fire action or complex controls, Meme Myth: Wukong's gameplay relies heavily on observation. What works normally (i.e., a typical solution) may not work here, whereas a seemingly insignificant detail hidden somewhere else in the scene or some obscure drag-action may lead to the desired outcome. This means each level feels like a mini-brain-teaser wrapped in a joke.
As the puzzles are primarily designed around shock-value, experimentation plays a large role. There are times where you'll need to click a character, drag an object into an arbitrary location, or do something logically impossible within a traditional logic-puzzle framework. While experimenting with your solution options will lead to frustration at times, it also leads to discovering how each scene disrupts expectations while providing enough information for you to believe there is a viable solution.
Key Gameplay Features
- Monkey King-themed puzzle-scenes with humorous meme-style solutions that don't necessarily adhere to traditional logic.
- Interactions include pointing & clicking/tapping/dragging on objects in the scene.
- Many varied levels with unique characters, jokes and conclusions.
- Vibrant 2D graphics provide clear visibility for clues.
- Relaxed pace allows for retrying attempts and trial-and-error exploration.
Suggested Approaches for New Players
- Don't assume the first obvious thing you see is going to work; there could be a better joke hiding in plain sight in some less-obvious action.
- Investigate all background objects (walls, floor), characters (signs, facial expression), and tiny details in addition to immediate visible clues.
- If simply clicking doesn't advance the scene, try dragging objects to different locations on-screen.
- Approach each failure as learning about what isn't working about the puzzle (and thus possibly what is).
Advanced Techniques
- Identify visual inconsistencies and/or unorthodox expressions of emotion/behavior among objects/characters in the scene.
- Consider the overall "joke" behind the puzzle as opposed to purely logical resolution.
- Attempt alternative sequences of events when one sequence doesn't behave as expected.
- Only use hints if you've explored the entire scene thoroughly before doing so.
Common Errors Among New Players
- Assuming every single puzzle follows cause-and-effect logic as seen in real life.
- Overlooking minor objects due to their appearance as mere decorations.
- Assuming that simply clicking an object once is sufficient.
- Forgetting that dragging can be equally effective as tapping/clicking.

Final Ideas
