Anodyne creators Analgesic Productions, Melos Han-Tani, and Marina Kittaka have announced their story-driven 3D platformer Sephonie.
Three shipwrecked biologists must explore a mysterious island of scientific and spiritual marvels. As they delve deeper and friendships bloom, old memories and older beings threaten to tear them and the world apart. Use parkour-esque platforming to explore, and solve puzzle grids in a variety of ways to fend of the island’s natural and not-so-natural inhabitants.

Sephonie launches Q2 to Q3 2021 for Windows PC, Linux, and Mac (all via Steam, and tentatively GOG).
