About This Game

Anode Heart is an homage to the classic monster tamer games of the early 2000s. It's set in a futuristic world where physical and virtual reality are deeply intertwined, and have become almost indistinguishable from one other.



You play as Seek, a robot with no memories. Your journey begins by awakening next to a metallic pod on a foggy shore. While exploring Stack Island, you'll partner up with Tama, mysterious creatures born inside the Net, that have recently started materializing in the Overworld. Your mission will be to find out who and what you are, and with the help of Tama, to prevent a great calamity looming on the horizon.

The next Anode Heart game is set in a Layer ruled by Card Games and a mysterious [REDACTED]. You can check it out here:

Game features:
* 140+ Tameable creatures (30-ish available in the Demo)
* 300+ techs that they can learn
* Fast battling system
* Card battle minigame
* Breeding/Rebooting monsters for greater stats and max level
* Semi-open world
* 20+ Unique overworld areas
* 40 recruitable characters

Reboot system:
Your creatures have a max level cap. By rebooting them back to Level 1, you increase their level cap, and their overall Potential. When they reach their previous max level again, they'll be stronger than they were before. Repeat this cycle to create powerful beasts!



JRPGs and monster tamer games have defined my childhood and they've greatly inspired me to create my own stories and games. I'm happy to be working on a monster tamer of my own, and I hope to share a new story today that you'll enjoy.
