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.
Check out the sequel, Anodyne 2, too!

Classic
what am i playing
Big fan of the game just giving you the void rod for the post game
Everything that these developers have made is pure gold! The remastered edition of Anodyne is a nice upgrade that adds some nice quality of life tweaks, without "fixing" any of the magical glitches that make Anodyne a little bit extra-special. The post-game exploration and expectation to go out of bounds is something I wish more games would do. Pure chaotic magic!
Zelda-like
Steam Deck: Fully Playable
This is an adequate, if not exceptional, Zelda-like dungeon explorer. It is clear from the moment you boot it up that it was originally built for mobile platforms (Flash, specifically), as it doesn't even fill the screen. The game is fine, and would get a thumbs up if it ended there. But the post-game content is some of the most obnoxious stuff I have ever seen in a game, including one screen where you have to leave the game open and idling for almost 2 hours. For that reason I don't recommend the game except for the die-hard Zelda fans.
It's a well-made real time sokoban puzzle. It's not a fascinating game like Stephen's Sausage Roll nor does it have the dynamic levels of a Chip's Challenge.
I got stuck in a pair of rooms in the hotel dungeon. I could have restarted the game from the checkpoint and continued in a different direction, but getting effectively softlocked without a glitch should just not happen.
The northerly room in this dead end is a dust and smoke vent puzzle, with the entrance at the top right. There are two dust patches and three smoke vents, and to progress to the exit in the bottom left, I use the dust patches in turn to suppress the smoke from the pipes, and proceed to the exit in the bottom left corner in the room. In the southerly room, there is a gate, a switch only accessible from another entrance, and several crates and bottomless pits, with two grumbling zombie men wandering around on the right beyond the crates.
There is no way to progress from this room, so I turned around to leave through the dust and smoke room.
The dust and smoke room is configured such that you can only proceed with the dust puzzle from the top right entrance. I was able to manipulate a jump to pass the first smoke vent, but afterward I could make no progress; I was pushed into the bottomless pit repeatedly and reset to the bottom right entrance, consequently preventing me from returning to the previous areas without returning to nexus. There is also no way to die in this dead end.
Furthermore, the jumping puzzles in the hotel dungeon are awful with how poor the movement controls are. Jumping is only able to cover a single-tile diagonal gap, but you are required to hold down the direction through the duration of the jump, and if you let go of it at any point, you fail the jump.
Falling into a pit due to damage knockback or a failed jump will cause Young to lose his dust pile, forcing the player to reset the room by leaving and re-entering because the room does not automatically return to a working state.
I haven't needed more than a matter of seconds to figure out what is required for any puzzle in this game, but the movement scheme is so awful and the damage iframes are so few that I frequently find myself struggling to execute the *obvious* solutions.
Lovely game! Fairly engaging dungeons, atmospheric soundtrack, brief but effective dialogue.
After thinking about this game for a while, I think I recommend this? I can't promise it'll be enjoyable, you'll mostly feel "eh" while playing it, it's not doing anything special fun or new and just comes across as boring. I don't think the story is very good and it's not really a thing either, the whole subconscious of the kid is very cliche with them being anti-social gamer who doesn't feel confident in their own ability while the world reflects something much darker ooooOoOOOooooh. Except this is from 2013 and it's not even that big of a deal?
It sounds like I hate this game or at the very least don't really care for it which you'd be correct, I don't really care about this game. However after taking a while, remembering the game was better than playing it? As much as the game tries it's absolute hardest to not reveal anything or do anything interesting, it still left me with an impression of an incredible atmosphere. This entire game is drenched in atmosphere and it's probably why I was so disappointed in it as I was. It's incredibly suffocating and effective in a way few games really manage successfully, the only problem here is that the game doesn't have much beyond that, but the few actual story beats I can recall, as uninspired as they are, have stuck with me more than I think most games ever do and I think that's worth more than what I picked this game up for.
Anodyne remains one of the most cryptic and winding games to ever be released, even a full decade after its initial launch. Also has the most mind-boggling post-game I've seen before or since. Strongly recommend you give it a go, there's really nothing quite like it.
I am picking up what this game is putting down...
This game feels like a love letter to a mix of both Link's Awakening and Yume Nikki. It has aspects of both, yet at times, can still be funny. If you're a fan of those kind of games, you'll be getting a very interesting take on the genre.
I've only encountered one glitch where I started a dialogue with the peddler on a different side of the screen using a screen transition glitch I found, causing me to be softlocked, closing and restarting the game from my save file worked.
Loved every minute of this game!
Reminded me of uncanny nature of other games in it's genre like Links awakening, Earthbound, or Undertale.
Although I make the comparison, it's very much it's own thing. The art direction is just gorgeous and the soundtrack rules.
What a gem! I'm really happy I played this game.
Nice throwback to retro graphics. While I enjoyed the humour and gameplay, and generally appreciate unexplained mysteries, the plot itself could have used a little more fleshing out, as it felt very disjointed.
You get to visit strange places in this game.
zelda combined with yume nikki
the amateurism here kinda rules: yeah it doesn't always "play well" or whatever but the ugliness of the gameplay weirdly sorta fits with the story delivery of buckshotting Ideas & Imagery at you and not rly caring if you get them or not, & it feels like it's a zelda game purely bc that's the language they felt they could express themselves through. it's a collage of angst that feels desperate to express *something* in a way i cant help but find rly captivating.
also a huge argument for pixel artists to explore the colour wheel beyond pico8-core kitsch bc this looks 1000x better than so many pixel indies released since despite being visibly rough and having pixel art tutorials in the credits of the game
I have had this game for several years in my steam library. I always played it halfway through but I never beat it... until NOW! There was nothing really keeping me back from this game, except my own interest.
Anodyne is very clearly a Zelda-formula style adventure game. Its very simple but very effective. It is really more of a puzzle game that is very intuitive and not at all difficult. Its artstyle and story is different from other indies because it actually achieves a level of surrealness that is offputting without being grating or feels like it tries to hard.
You can tell there is a lot of love in this game, but also quite a bit of jank. I'd rate in the middle if I could. It's certainly not bad and I don't expect anyone would hate it. Still though, not many Zelda likes on PC, so I would be fine playing it again.
MEAT ZONE
It is amazing what you can do with just a broom!
Seriously, although the game plays like the Zelda Oracle games, absent is the long list of items of which you must try each one methodically when you get stuck: all you have is the Broom (instead of the sword) and those springy shoes (Roc's Feather). Yes, there are some upgrades to the broom, but I can only think of one place where they are needed to advance through an area aside from using the Swapper to access the post-game content . Everything else relies on learning about the world and creative puzzle solving. The game's humor, ambiance, and self-awareness remind me a lot of Earthbound, and the story, although rather oblique and metaphorical at times, has the potential to resonate deeply with thoughtful gamers, especially those who remember their teenage years. It was a joy to play!
And we need more games with brooms!
YOUNG (in a fake raspy southern drawl): " 'am here to clean up this Land... LITERALY!!" LOL
It's good if you like games about exploration like Knytt Underground or Sable. The landmarking is well done and the tile swapping puzzles at the end of the game were fascinating.
