In this unique Zelda-lite game, explore and fight your way through surreal and 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.

Generally, I enjoy this game but it becomes increasingly frustrating as the puzzles get harder and harder. The whole game is also quite like a labyrinth, with a lot of dead ends and doubling back to advance.

Without a clear narrative to guide it, this mostly feels like an exercise in frustration, especially the post-game stuff. There's no 'reason' to slog through enemies, solve the puzzles, and then endlessly hunt for post-game cards, which makes the game fall flat. I see a lot of potential, so I'm hoping for more from Anodyne 2. However, I don't recommend this one.

This is a great game! It gave me heavy Yume Nikki vibes.
The gameplay is a lot more satisfying than I initially had thought it would be and the exploration of the maps was fun with the crypticness of the game. The whole game is fairly cryptic even with it's story. I didn't even really understand the story immediately after beating it (if you play it in one session it's probably easier to put together). I think it goes to show to the overall theming that I still felt all of the proper emotional beats during the game, so even while I didn't really understand the story at the end of the game I was still moved.

The game starts as an inferior imitation of Link's Awakening; but it slowly mutates into this bizarre, puzzling, horrifying, yet beautiful psychological art piece.
This was an experience I will never forget, and I will gladly continue to explore the rest of these developers' catalog!
Please give it a whirl if it interests you!

if you do play this game then whether you love it or hate it at least try and get to the rooftop area no matter what, the moment there is unforgettably beautiful and even though this game is pretty take it or leave it i feel like that moment alone makes this game worth playing
