Sephonie now out! From Anodyne 2's creators

Hi Analgesic fans! Wanted to let you know our new 3D platformer, Sephonie, is out now, as well as the soundtrack. Get it and the soundtrack DLC here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1248840





Memories linger across time, deep beneath the islands surface...
In this story-driven 3D platformer, explore Sephonie Island's massive cave network, and link with unidentified species using the novel Puzzle Grid system. Explore the island's depths as shipwrecked biologists Amy, Ing-wen, and Riyou, whose personal histories come to bear on the shifting spiritual landscape of the island depths.

Parkour-esque platforming

Use an acrobatic moveset to navigate lush, jade canopies and rusty sandstone spires. Fling yourself over high ledges using the satisfying Teledash Vault and deftly Wallrun across dangerous outcroppings.

Grapple through the air with the help of long-tongued Ribbats or climb tall cliffs via sticky-ridged Gripshrooms. Linking with certain creatures will grant you new abilities to reach the farthest depths of the island.

The Relaxing and Casual Puzzle Grid System

The trio must research the island's unknown creatures by Linking with them. Using the one-of-a-kind "Puzzle Grid" system, you'll rotate and place a series of multi-colored pieces onto the board to create large, same-colored islands. Each creature has different challenges to overcome!


There's no 'right' solution to Linking: use your intuition to react to the creature's moves and what appears on the board, and you will soon be on your way to success!

A Research Trip Gone Awry

In the near future, three biologists are on a joint mission to use their state-of-the-art ONYX implants to research the creatures of the uninhabited Sephonie Island. But as they approach the island, a sudden storm leaves them shipwrecked.

Amy Lim, Taiwanese-American and bold leader, hails from the midwestern USA town of Bloomington. Riyou Hayashi, an analytically-minded Japanese-Taiwanese researcher, calls the bustling Tokyo his home. And Ing-wen Lin, a kind and considerate Taiwanese scientist, lives in Taipei.

The trio will find their motivations and loyalties put to the test as they navigate Sephonies caverns, facing not only physical challenges but also their deepest memories and dreams. As they grow more intimate with each other and the island, an ancient force, brewing deep in the island's abyss, may threaten their newfound relationship, and the world...

Hey fans of Analgesic Productions! Hope you're enjoying our newly released game, Anodyne 2: Return to Dust, as well as the 20% off coupon if you own Anodyne 1.

I'm happy to announce we're working with The Yetee on some amazing Physical Merch:

You'll also receive a clear, orange "game disk" etched with a Steam key you can use for yourself or a friend! These items are beautiful and when you view them you'll be able to recollect fond memories of exploring Anodyne 2's New Theland.

The Manual:

Tape Soundtrack



For $10, we're selling the game's OST in physical tape form. This comes in a beautifully designed case showing Nova shrinking down.

Anodyne 2 is releasing on August 12th at 10 AM PST on Windows, Mac and Linux!



That's right! In less than a week you'll be able to explore the world of New Theland and explore both 3D and 2D worlds.

Moreover, if you head to the store page to wishlist the game, there's also a new "Launch Trailer" to watch. (As you may expect, it is the trailer that says "Launch Trailer" in the thumbnail.)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/877810/Anodyne_2_Return_to_Dust/

Thanks for your patience as we approach release. Marina and I are so excited to share the game with you!

As a reminder, the game will be launching at $19.99 with a week-long 10% off discount. Current owners of Anodyne 1 will receive a 20% off coupon for Anodyne 2. The OST will be available for $9.99 with a week-long 10% off discount.

There will also be a "Week 1 Edition" complete-the-set bundle featuring the OST and Anodyne 2 for 10% off. The coupon *does* stack with the bundle! However the bundle will only be available for 10 days. (Perhaps it should be the "Week 1 and 3 days Bundle?")

After that bundle goes away, I will introduce the Anodyne Franchise Bundle, a 10% off complete-the-set featuring Anodyne 1 and 2.

Announcing the Anodyne 2 Week 1 Edition, pricing, and more!



Hey everyone! Sean Han Tani, Director of Analgesic Productions here. Thanks for your support of our games Anodyne, Even the Ocean or All Our Asias!

First off, I'm pleased to announce Anodyne 2 will be releasing later this summer for $19.99. The Anodyne 2 OST will also release, featuring over 80 minutes of music, for only $4.99!

For release week, the game will be 10% off ($17.99)!

If you haven't yet, wishlist Anodyne 2 over here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/877810/Anodyne_2_Return_to_Dust/

Today I want to talk about THREE exciting things relating to the release of Anodyne 2: Return to Dust, and ways to save money when buying the game!


  • Anodyne 2: Week 1 Edition
  • Anodyne Franchise Bundle
  • Anodyne Loyalty Coupon



Anodyne 2: Week 1 Edition

For ONLY the first week of release, you'll be able to purchase a special complete-the-set bundle featuring both Anodyne 2 and its 80+ minute OST. We'll be pricing this at around $17.99***, meaning the OST is nearly free!

We recommend this bundle for owners of Anodyne 1 who enjoyed my music in the previous game and are planning to purchase the music.**

Anodyne Franchise Bundle

We'll be launching a complete-the-set bundle consisting of Anodyne 1 and Anodyne 2 as well. This is perfect for anyone looking to get into the series!

And for launch week*, we'll also be including the Anodyne 2 OST in here as well! Pricing will be $17.99 + cost of Anodyne 1 at the time.

The Anodyne Loyalty Coupon

Have you played Anodyne 1 yet? If not, picking it up now is a great idea, as upon release all owners of Anodyne 1 will receive a 10% off coupon for Anodyne 2! In fact, purchases of Anodyne 1 up to two weeks after Anodyne 2's release will also be given a coupon - even if you buy it in the franchise bundle.

Coupons are also applicable towards the aforementioned bundles!

Therefore, you can get up to 20% off on Anodyne 2 by being a player of Anodyne 1! You can even send this coupon to a friend.


---

* After launch week, the Anodyne Franchise bundle will consist of only Anodyne 1 and Anodyne 2. Purchasers of the bundle in the first week of Anodyne 2's release will NOT lose the Anodyne 2 OST. Purchasers of the bundle AFTER the first week will NOT receive the OST. The pricing of the bundle will be updated accordingly from $17.99 + Ano1 price w/ discount, to Ano2 + Ano1 price w/ 10% discount.

** Please note that the cheapest way to get the OST and Anodyne 2 is to buy the Week 1 Edition. Due to the bundle system, purchasing the game at $17.99 and then the complete the set bundle will be more expensive

*** Due to the bundle pricing system, the price of the Week 1 Edition bundle will be a few cents over or under $17.99.



(Note: prices and promotional periods may change.)

Wishlist Anodyne 2: Return to Dust, today!



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.



Nova looks upon a glowing, orange island.



And here are some of the 2D areas:

Now shrunk down to Nanoscale form, Nova explores floating ruins to find Nano Dust.



Nova learns the ropes of being in Nanoscale while exploring the Albumenium.



Licking an NPC



Here's an example of the music, which I am again writing: https://soundcloud.com/seagaia/anodyne-2-ost-nanoscale-albumenium-cheerful-mix


Stay tuned for more news, and thanks for your support on our games! Anodyne 2 is due out early Q2 2019 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
