Winter Sale & Plans for 2021

Today marks exactly 3 months since Anamnesis Early Access launched on Steam! Thus far, a lot of polishing has been done on the foundation. We've rebalanced the Knight class, added loot and crafting features, and even integrated full controller support. Despite a slight delay, we're happy with the amount of work achieved from 0.1 through 0.1.3 in these last three months. Be sure to revisit the Roadmap on the Store page! It has been updated to reflect our plans moving into 2021.
For the new year we're going to change the pace at which we deliver updates. For starters, v0.1.4 (Encounters) will no longer be a standalone update. Instead, we're going to include the Encounters content with the launch of Act 2 (v0.2.0) in early 2021. This will allow us to spend extra time on testing and QA because the updates that are coming next are very heavy in terms of new content and features. That means new memories, new enemies, new perks and more!

Encounter System

In our last announcement we spoke briefly about the Encounters system. Starting in v0.2.0, you will sometimes run into a random encounter between waves of enemies. Here's a preview of what an Encounter will look like.

To start, there will be six types of Encounters:

Body (Choose 1 of 3 Body Perks)
Mind (Choose 1 of 3 Mind Perks)
Essence (Choose 1 of 3 Essence Perks)
Energy (Gain an amount of Energy)
Random Buff (Same as the starter boost that gives a random buff)
Food (Heal yourself for an amount)

When you choose a Perk Encounter, you'll see another screen that allows you to select 1 of 3 random perks in that category. Here's a preview.

The three categories focus on different types of perks, namely: Body = Physical related perks Mind = Elemental related perks Essence = Buff & Debuff related perks

Act 2 Details

Aside from the Encounters system, Act 2 will also introduce new music to the game! The main menu, boss, and Act 1 themes will be different, and Act 2 will also have its own theme. Act 2 takes place outside of the dungeon traversed throughout Act 1, in the dark forest region of the afterlife.

Act 2 introduces 9 new basic enemies, 1 new mini boss, and 1 boss at the end of the act. This also means brand new ingredients and 4 new recipes for crafting memories (2 for Knight class and 2 for Fire element)!

Synopsis

You materialize in a mysterious realm where a titan who goes simply by the name 'Mr. T' welcomes you. "You have returned to the afterlife, I see." Without much explanation, your adventure in this dark and gritty dungeon begins. Face off against bats, snakes, and even the shadows as you work your way to the end of this forsaken world, and earn your right to reincarnate once again!

The word 'Anamnesis'

It refers to memories from past lives. In Anamnesis, the cards are your 'memories'. Each run, you can choose your starter deck of 10 memories. Every time you finish a run, whether you win or lose, you can keep one. Will you remember what it takes to beat the game?

Learn From Your Mistakes

In Anamnesis, each boss has a unique approach to defeating it. A boss may have a shield that only goes away with fire, by dispelling it, or just waiting it out a set amount of turns. The unique combo system also provides special boosts that are character-specific and helps to balance those runs where you didn't get the ideal setup that you wanted. This makes each successful playthrough a fulfilling experience, and on runs where you lose, you'll eventually learn why and come back even wiser!

Less RNG, More Strategy

Unlike other games, Anamnesis focuses more on strategy than RNG. Even if you didn't get the cards you needed to dispel that boss's shield, your combo system has you covered! Each character will have unique memories and boosts that are suited for them to approach every obstacle in the game. This means that defense as well as offense are both important tactical decisions. It's not all about RNG!

Current Features (Act 1)

Fully implemented 'Knight' class

13 fully voiced events to experience

Over three dozen memories to collect

Over a dozen monsters to face

A straightforward system to upgrade your memories

A perk and curse system that can fundamentally change your experience

And much more to come!

Early Access

During Early Access, your feedback is valuable! The game is still being shaped into its final form, and there's room to add even more systems to the mix. For now, Act 1 is complete and the game includes all of the systems from the original vision -- systems from some of our favorite games, like combos and limits. Now, it's time to add even more substance to a solid foundation, and we hope you will join us during this great adventure!
