In Monument Valley you will manipulate impossible architecture and guide a silent princess through a stunningly beautiful world.

Monument Valley is a surreal exploration through fantastical architecture and impossible geometry. Guide the silent princess Ida through mysterious monuments, uncovering hidden paths, unfolding optical illusions and outsmarting the enigmatic Crow People.

This PS Vita port contains a stripped VPK file for the game and a series of patches, that when combined will produce a fully playable version of Monument Valley on the PS Vita. Please note that you will need to obtain the game files for yourself to make this work (PC Steam or Android).

Installation

Steam

If you have the latest Steam files for the game (Monument Valley: Panoramic Edition), then continue on with this section.

Note that the files you need are in the depot with it's ID being 1927721. You can check what depot you currently possess by taking a look at the file in (STEAM INSTALL HERE)/steamapps/appmanifest_1927720.acf. The depot you have installed should be under "InstalledDepots.

Unzip the PC_PATCHES zip file to a new folder in the repo folder with the same name as the ZIP file.
Go to your game folder, grab all of it's contents (Monument Valley.exe, Monument Valley_Data folder, etc.) and put them in a new folder called PC (case-sensitive) in the repository folder.
Run the applyPatchPC.bat file and let it sit until it shows "Done!" on the command line.
There now should be a folder called patchedFiles with all of the patched content inside.

Android

If you have the version 2.5.16 (or the latest version, 3.3.104) of the game for Android, then continue on with this section.

Unzip the PHONE_PATCHES zip file to a new folder in the repo folder with the same name as the ZIP file.
Create a new folder called "ANDROID".
Dump the .APK file from your game and copy all of it's contents to the new folder you created.
Dump the .OBB file as well and copy all of the contents from this path of the file (assets/bin/Data/) to ANDROID/assets/bin/Data/.
Run the applyPatchAndroid.bat file (applyPatchAndroidLatest if you're using the newest version) and let it sit until it shows "Done!" on the command line.
There now should be a folder called patchedFiles with all of the patched content inside.

How to setup

Folder method:

Connect your PS Vita to your computer via USB/FTP with VitaShell.
Make a new folder on your Vita's SD Card (can be named whatever you want).
Open up the .VPK file from the Releases page of the repository and take it's contents to the new folder you just created.
Do the same thing but with the patchedFiles' contents.
Select the folder on Vitashell and press Triangle.
Go all the way down to More > Install folder.
Confirm your selection.

VPK method:

Open up the .VPK file from the Releases page of the repository and drag 'n drop the patchedFiles' contents to the root of the VPK file.
Connect your PS Vita to your computer via USB/FTP with VitaShell.
Drag 'n drop your VPK file to your desired location on your SD Card.
Install the VPK file.

At last, be sure to create a folder called MV in ux0:data/. This folder is essential to create, otherwise if you don't, the game will freeze on certain moments. This port also includes the DLC "Forgotten Shores". If you want to enable it, create a file called "dlc" in the MV folder.

Controls

The game basically only requires you to use the touchscreen. Other buttons are not required.

The text at the first level appears glitchy.
The ground in Ida's Dream is a different color than what's closer to the middle.
Some weird lightning issues are apparent.

The text at the prelude is fixed now (hopefully).
