“《Anodyne》，一款动作解谜冒险游戏。画面采用了像素风，以竖屏的方式展现。谜题设计的大多比较巧妙(最后一个谜题有点莫名其妙)，战斗也有一定的难度，boss战设计的很用心，每个boss都有独特的破解方法。游戏存在一定的收集元素，可以用来解开隐藏地图(有些boss需要收集一定数量的卡片才能解锁)。不过，游戏的剧情太过于分散，表现力不太够，仍需多加打磨。一款有意思的小游戏，感兴趣的玩家不妨一试。”

Reviews

"Anodyne’s puzzles are old-school in the best way, requiring NES-era logic and reasoning skills [...] The stirring, thoughtful narrative saves the experience. At its core, Anodyne is about alienation from the real world, particularly for gamers."
Polygon

"Anodyne can be as funny and charming as Link’s Awakening on occasion, but the overall tone is one of unease, with a subtle malevolence – the ‘something seems a bit off here’ factor – reminiscent of the indie horror Lone Survivor. Meaning is elusive, but themes and motifs soon begin to take form, in a game that feels increasingly personal the more you burrow into it."
PC Gamer

About This Game

Dive into the Dream World

In this classic Zelda-lite game, explore and fight your way through surreal and creepy, nature, urban and abstract themed areas in the human Young's subconscious. Talk to bizarre characters and survive through Game Boy-styled dungeons, all evoked by a 16-bit-era visual style and a moody, dream-like soundtrack.



As you explore the world, more portals will open up within the Nexus, which connects all lands.



Search for mysterious cards to help you dive deeper into Young's mind!



Please note that the Steam Deck compatible version is on the 'beta' branch's 'remastered' version. We are planning to make this version the default later in October.

Content Warnings (Light spoilers)

Low-res pixel art (like in the style of the screenshots of): Suicide by hanging, mild horror, murder by blunt objects, dead bodies, stabbing, blood stains, mentions of sex, unexpected killing of an NPC. Rare strong language. Note this isn't representative of the majority of the game, but it is unavoidable.
