    4,327 days ago I put a Easter egg into Anodyne. It was based on what let's player, raocow, would say when finding HP Ups in indie game "An Untitled Story". And today in his first Anodyne playthrough...he has found the heart. The cycle is complete!

    Oh wow, this pick n' mix bundle is absurdly good. Almost every game in here is a recommendation from me or something I've been wanting to play. £3.33-£2.85 (likely direct conversion to dollars) per game, depending on how many you grab. FOUR Steamworld games count as just one & Anodyne 2 is magic.

    Indie game-covering folks, do not skip on this. Analgesic Productions (Anodyne 1 & 2, Sephonie, etc) are a fantastic studio.

    The video game "Stray Children" is very satisfying and if you remember the old DS RPG "Contact" and feel like "Contact" was made for you personally, you should play "Stray Children" immediately. I mean, also if you liked "Anodyne" or "Moon". But the most direct Feel transfer is Contact.

    listening to some unused songs from Even the Ocean's OST. some fans say it is our most haunted game and i agree bc theres a whole 2nd unused OST made for the game in a style in-between Anodyne 1 and ETO. and the postgame is an entire game's worth of empty levels htch.bandcamp.com/track/in-a-s...

    It gives the games a very friendly, cozy aftertaste. This sense that the artist is overjoyed that you liked the experience enough to want to talk to them (or, at least, their videogame facsimile) about it afterwards. I wrote a bit about Anodyne 2 and that vibe over on PC Gamer a while back.

    Today's weird archival discovery...in one of marina and I's first interviews (2012), a host asked if Anodyne combat is influenced by Ys! Never heard of it at that time and did not follow up on the game for many years. If someone has a time machine they should go back and get me to play it earlier..

    Played a lot of cool older indies lately to clear out some backlog. Runner3 - reminds me of Tropical Freeze if it were a rhythm game SteamWorld Dig 2 - 2nd time beating, still as addictive as ever Chasm & Anodyne - fell off previously but gave a 2nd go and super impressed with both! Games are fun

    8) Anodyne Gonna stop shilling RPG Maker a bit to shill the works of Analgesic Productions (who recently released a new game, btw). Anodyne was their first game that follows in the vein of Gameboy Zelda games while having a surreal story.

    I played Anodyne, a 16-bit-era looking indie Zelda-like game. I checked it out because the remake was made in part by the great @sephdebusser.bsky.social and I was curious about this game she spent years remaking. I enjoyed the sleek gameplay and the dark undertones below the gentle visuals.

    Anodyne 2 replay impossibly lovely game. it's themes are hitting me critically harder than it did 5 years ago for Reasons that aren't important. i love being reminded that games can have such a profound effect on the mind.. it's a SuperArt. it also loves going out of bounds almost as much as i do.

    If you ever play Anodyne 2 I highly suggest watching a speedrunner do it because, despite being able to do all of the nano dust cleaning in any order you want, apparently if you clean Clonwei/Yonwei and close the game down, then Iwasaki then Geof in that order, you glitch the game and can't progress
