''Monarch of Madness'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' adventure map.

You are the king. You wake up one morning after 50 years of hibernation to find that an evil wizard has taken over your kingdom. Luckily, Dominic, your deceased butler, has left directions to help you take it back. Which for some reason all seem to involve solving completely unrelated and random puzzles.

* ILied: [[spoiler:Bogmire]] does this all the time, even reminding you several times that he lies a lot.
%%* ItAmusedMe: Seemingly the only reason why anyone does anything.

%%* VillainProtagonist: See TomatoInTheMirror.
* WorldOfSnark: Nearly every bit of dialogue and signage includes some bit of sarcasm, mockery, or absurdity.
