Explore a surreal dream world, talk to its strange characters

Solve puzzles and defeat enemies in dungeons

Explore the world's fields, caves and dungeons in order to open up portals in the Nexus, connecting you to other lands. You'll have to solve puzzles and defeat enemies along the way.

Find treasures and items to unlock deeper areas

Search for mysterious cards to help you dive deeper into Young's mind! Health upgrades will help you survive deeper reaches of the dream.

Check out the sequel, Anodyne 2, too!

Discover secrets of a mysterious, moody world

In a surreal dream world, a nonlinearly connected land of natural locations (forests, cliffs), abstract places (space), urban locations (hotels, temples), and more.
Use your broom to defeat enemies, and solve puzzles in multiple large dungeons and mazes.
Talk to strange NPCs, and gain insight into the psyche of the silent protagonist, Young.
Find mysterious Cards scattered throughout the game in order to unlock deeper reaches of the world.
A 6-8+ hour action-adventure, with plenty of surprises after the credits roll...
The 2013 game that started it all for indie studio Analgesic Productions!
Some players say this reminds them of Link's Awakening or Yume Nikki.

Note on pricing difference vs consoles: the Steam version grants access to both the Anodyne Remastered and Classic Anodyne. Thus, the price of the Steam version was updated to reflect inflation and current pricing standards. The console version currently does not (as of 2025) have Anodyne Remastered.

Content Warnings (Light spoilers)

Low-res pixel art (like in the style of the screenshots of): Suicide by hanging, mild horror, murder by blunt objects, dead bodies, stabbing, blood stains, mentions of sex, unexpected killing of an NPC. Rare strong language. Note this isn't representative of the majority of the game, but it is unavoidable.
