Hi, players of Anodyne and Even the Ocean - it's Sean Han Tani here from Analgesic. I wanted to let you know that the sequel to Anodyne, Anodyne 2: Return to Dust, can be wishlisted today! Wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/877810/Anodyne_2_Return_to_Dust/ In a world first, Anodyne 2 mixes both 3D exploration with 2D dungeons. You explore and drive around a surreal 3D dream world as Nova, shrinking into people's minds in order to clean dangerous Nano Dust in 2D. It's a bit of a mix of some of the concepts of Shadow of the Colossus, Psychonauts, as well as 2D and 3D Zelda games! Like Anodyne 1, it features bizarre creatures and strange places. The 3D and 2D environments range from natural landscapes, to unsettling homes and abstract areas. To stay up to date, you can follow me on Twitter (where I post many GIFs) - https://twitter.com/sean_htch OR, you can join Analgesic's newsletter over at https://analgesic.productions/ , or join our Discord server! https://discordapp.com/invite/7snxjmj Here's a few screenshots: A mysterious tongued friend overlooks a strange city.

In Anodyne, you explore and fight your way through surreal and at times, creepy, nature, urban and abstract themed areas in the human Young's subconscious, evoked by a 16-bit-era visual style and a moody, dream-like soundtrack. Created by Sean HTCH and Joni Kittaka.

They are working on Even The Ocean http://www.twitter.com/eventheocean , a new adventure platforming / hybrid walk-&-press slice-of-life adventure/daydream platforming game. It will also be released on Steam.

Because this game was made by a small team, please note there is no customer support for Anodyne available at this time. We recommend the stable Mac and Windows versions. For Linux users, you may have trouble running it if not using Ubuntu. Please request a refund if you are unable to get the game to work. Thank you for your understanding.
