Pastel Horizon is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in a video game. I'll never forget the transition from the bombastic, unsubtle medieval land to something intimately touching.
I just finished the game, listening to the OST rn. I have to say that this is hands down one of the most touching and unique games I've ever played. The fantastic soundtrack makes the gameplay even better
Man, I haven't played a game in such a long time, maybe ever, where I couldn't stop thinking about it for days after I beat it, this was an amazing game and the same goes for the soundtrack, I love listening to it! This is definitely gonna be one of the most memorable games I play
Amazing work on this, it adds so much throughout the game, and goodness it's so unique just like the game itself. You won't find music like this in many games so that makes it all the more memorable.
Thank you for the pin, it's an honor, I have nothing but respect for the artistic vision and freedom on display in this game, I hope the work finds much attention because games like these especially these days have a lot o be cherished for, the soundtrack certainly makes a great part of that.
@@DeityDiz93 couldn't agree more. This game is unique on so many levels, really. It's AT LEAST in my top-3 gaming highlights of the whole year (actually just first, prolly).
This soundtrack got me through the first few months of quarantine, and for that I am forever grateful. Sitting at my desk doing mind-numbing schoolwork every evening wouldn't have been nearly as bearable if I didn't have this to listen to. Great game with a stellar soundtrack.
This is definitely one of my favorite soundtracks I've ever heard. I went on a long walk last night while listening to this and came to many important conclusions about where I want to go forward in life. This music really evokes a lot of emotion out of me and I am very thankful for being able to experience this. I just wanted to thank you and say this has inspired me to try and create something this beautiful one day in the future. I wish you well on your future projects!
I just wanted to congratulate both of you on such a masterpiece, Melos and Marina. This game was really something special and I will remember it fondly. I can't wait to show this game to my little Zera when she's old enough. Some of my favorite tracks were: Center Sanctuary - This track was hauntingly beautiful. It gives the sense that there is something more. It is mysterious and calls out to you. Center City Cenote - What can I say...this was an instant classic for me. Everything about this track fits perfectly with the theme of the area. It establishes the tone of Nova's beginning and her future quest. It has a sense of determination in it, which is fitting because when you first hear it, you are so early in the game. Whenever you return to Cenote, this track reminds you of when you first started playing. It makes you realize how far you've come, mirroring what Nova likely feels herself. Dustbound - Wow. I could listen to this track for hours. Whenever I first heard it I instantly knew that this village would be important. There is a sense of discovery. The uplifting vibe of the song contrasts sharply with the dark tone of the previous scenes in the game leading up to it. The piano notes that you place sparingly amongst the synthscape are perfect. I'm talking about moments like 44:24, 45:24, and 45:38, for example. Such masterful composition! There were very many other songs that I absolutely adored, but these stood out to me as some of the most impactful. Marina, you did an excellent job providing a very intelligent and engaging written story. The dialogue and the music would fit together so perfectly it astounds me that the two of you don't share the same brain. Simply wonderful.
Wow Taylor, thank you for your comment! I'm glad the music left a strong impression on you. Those tracks are some of my favorites as well (in particular Dustbound!) Thanks for your support and take care!
And what about Upon Soaring Highways? It always gave me the sense that I was leaving all I knew behind me to discover a whole new world full of possibilities and mysteries and hopes
Absolutely one of my favorite games and soundtracks! Playing it in 2019 during a hard time in my life was genuinely big in changing my outlook on things, and the all-encompassing yet intimate humanity in its fabric has truly stuck with me. To this day I still gush about it to everyone who likes indie games even though I've only played it once. Thanks for creating this amazing piece of art for real!
When I listen to Center City Cenote I am at peace, once again in the womb, not yet ready to be born, dreaming of transforming myself into something great when the opportunity arrives
Even though I'm like 12 years old, I can't express how incredible this game is. The story is really well written, the characters are fleshed out well, the music slaps so hard (in a good way) the gameplay is top notch. And it's just a great experience. It's a shame that not many people except like the core fan base, know about this game. I really hope this game will get as popular as Mario or Undertale, cause honestly you guys deserve it.
Thank you! I'm happy you found it at such a young age. One of our goals is definitely to inspire younger players and try pushing the medium forward. And it would be nice to get more fans! Maybe with the upcoming console version? -melos
Just beat anodyne 2 both endings and 1:11:57 That's the last time I talk to strangers. Most memorable part of the game for me has me questioning everything I think I know about the series. Can't even say more than that it's not worth spoiling you must experience this yourself.
I remeber when i was finishing the blue Valley zone and when i enter dustbone literally decided to keep playing just because how wonderful the story was playing
i think i've commented twice on this already, but i just finished replaying this game and i'm just overwhelmed by how much i love it. expect a pretentiously long video essay to be made about the anodyne games in a couple years once i've been on HRT long enough to feel comfortable on camera haha. i've got the nano cleaner zera theme stuck in my head, it wasn't a track i was super obsessed with the first time around but now it just makes me so nostalgic and sad.
28:40 Probably my favorite track.Machines are different from humans. Humans are all under a single name, yet they are different form one another. A person can only form a bond in life with a limited number of people, but you never know what is outside that box of people. The one you consider an enemy is often considered a friend by others. And machines just exist and they only take from their creator and his robot is the perfect example
@@ericgeorgescu3391 I try to remember a lot of the names of the songs, but I am really bad at remembering names and song names so I cant. But this one I always remember, even when just thinking about it.
One of the best indie games I have ever played, and my new gold standard for how sequels should improve on their predecessor. The music was a big part; some of my favourite themes were Center City Cenote, the “boring life” song, and Nano Cleaner Zera. Thank you so much for this game, and I’ll definitely be playing “S” day 1!
Very few games have such trascendent soundtracks that can take me to other worlds and places. This is one of them. Absolutely beautiful. Cenote City in particular is a masterpiece.
Just finished the game and I have to thank you all for making such an amazing, unique game. It quickly became one of my favorite games ever and I can't wait to listen more to this amazing OST too!
I think I come here at least three times a week to listen to this OST... It helps me drive, sleep, draw, anything really. This game, Anodyne, Even the Ocean, and All Our Asias have such inspiring OSTs, such inspiring stories. They’re all wonderful, and I’m grateful that you have let us experience them.
It shouldn't be surprising, but this music is great atmosphere while working my night shift janitor job. It actually helps to dull my chronic pain a bit by getting lost in the soundscape, so your music is also an analgesic! Thank you so much for creating and sharing with the world.
Yesterday I've finished the ''good/true?'' ending of andonyne 2, and it made me emotional, and I didn't think I still had it in me to get to that point from playing a game. It was a lot of to fun to play and explore and I was super invested in watching Nova's story unfold and living through the emotions that came with it. And I think I learned something? That's always a plus. The music was really amazing and I love the use of Leitmotif from Palasade theme it really added to the scenes and what they where trying to convey. Overall the game had some really great beats and they never got to the point of being monotonous. I hope that the future for you both is as bright as you made it for Nova & Zera.
I'm so glad I have a way to listen to this games music now! It's so relaxing it fits perfectly with the games tone. I love this game so much it was an amazing experience! Can't wait for anodyne 3😉
I got a copy of this game in a bundle. The story and the music were inspiring and I wish you the best in your video game development. You have something special here.
Anodyne and Anodyne 2 are two of the most amazing and inspirational games for me. Totally reformed my inner philosophies about life and games with these pieces of art. Thank you for the amazing music as well. I will play everything you guys make
@@analgesicproductions without people like you understanding and creating on the platform of video games I would have little faith for the progression. But you and a few other developers really understand how to subvert expectation and exceed expectation with limited tools and create something really magical to experience alone or with friends. We sit and muse over the boundaries of an imagined reality and in turn expand our understandings of life. Powerful stuff. And you are some of the only people who know how to harness it! Thanks again and really look forward to your next projects
@@zillagramwiches thank you that means a lot to hear we're on the right track! Yes, a lot of our games work is trying to really imagine a future for games and make enriching stuff!
I cant remember if I commented on here previously, but ever since I played through the game in september, I get nostalgic for the music already. I keep coming back here to listen to Center City Cenote, Lamp Strewn Crawlspace/Musty Attic Loneliness, Pastel Horizon, Bonegummed Yearnsands, and ton of others. Its just so unique and listenable. The game and its soundtrack remind me of a combo of Undertale and Earthbound in its weird/quirkiness.
Thank you for playing and glad you liked the music! I like those OSTs too. You might enjoy reading this list of anodyne 2 musical influences: meloshantani.wordpress.com/2019/11/25/anodyne-2-musical-influences-an-incomplete-list/
A true hidden gem. A heartwarming experience from start to finish. Music is how I remember some of my fondest memories, and unfortunate as this timing is for me, this will be one of those OSTs that reminds me of a soft, safe haven in dark times. Thank you two for making this.
Hi, i recently finished playing your game and felt like letting you know my thoughts on it. I picked this game up very casually because it looked interesting. The experience i had and the time that i spent with the game is absolutely irreplacable to me. Being completely honest, i never expected the game to make me feel like it did, but it did make me feel in the end, it made me feel like never before. I simply can't put my love for this game in words. Thank you so much.
Thank you and I'm glad you had a very memorable time. Honestly a big part of why we make games is to create stuff that will really be memorable and worthwhile for people so I'm happy you had a good time!!
I'm so glad to have bought this game (and it's amazing soundtrack) on week 1, played Anodyne 1 recently and I'm loving 2 even more as I play. Good job, guys!
found these games through Nitro Rad's review of Anodyne 1. Really glad I saw that review because now these two games are some of my all time favorites. your music adds an amazing touch of emotion to these games that I haven't seen done the same anywhere else. can't wait for the next project!
Legitimately when i first heard 1:53:13 , I couldn’t hold back my laughter because I only recognized it from Arfenhouse. I know it’s one if the default songs in OHRRPGCE (which that section is an homage to) but in my heart, that music is associated with Arfenhouse.
Hi, I got the game on epic, I finished it 2 days ago, and since I can't write a steam review I'm here to say that your game made me feel like no other have. I don't know, it was kinda familiar, welcoming, even peaceful. I think the music has a lot to do with this. It feels dreamy and warm, I like it. Thank you both for your creation. I wish you the best.
Thanks for playing! I've considered making visual novels a few times. My game All Our Asias (2018, free) is kinda like a visual novel - I'd like to explore more stuff like that. -Melos
Not listening in full until I finish the game, but I needed to say that Greensleeves with a MIDI cuica broke me for several minutes. Thank you. (I've been enjoying everything else too.)
The Life That We'll Live always moves me tears no matter how many times I've listened to it... It channels all my memories as Nova and makes the ending all the more bittersweet. If I have a baby girl I'll most definitely name her Zera, for I hope the world we live in will have room for all of Zera :) Thank you for making such a wonderful (and very sentimental!) dream a reality. Level design, writing, visuals, music... the production value of the game is sublime! Anodyne 2 will forever be one of my top 5 favorite games (that is, until Anodyne 3 tops it)!
+ANALGESIC PRODUCTIONS I have yet to play Even the Ocean or All Our Asias, so I should do that! Really excited for what you two make next! I hope you expand more on 3D gameplay in the next game, but I’m looking forward to what you all have planned regardless.
Number 12 is my favourite. I explored the city over and over just to listen the track. I like the track so much I find myself humming it. 😊 Thank you for your wonderful game.
I bought the original Anodyne on a whim while it was on sale and played it only last year, so I was surprised when Anodyne 2 released not long after and was happy to pay full price for it. I love both games and soundtracks and will definitely be buying this one soon, thanks for the great stuff!
This upload has gotten me through so much difficult studying. Thank You so much for compiling the OST into this video! Amazing game, excited to replay it sometime soon!
This OST brings me home. Thank you. I haven't finished the game yet, but it feels like it's cleaning the dust in my body everytime I advance a little in it.
Listened to the album before playing the game, then when I play after an edible I find myself entranced in the music doing circles in my car around the track for who knows how long. The music adds SO MUCH
I just downloaded & started playing this yesterday (and haven't finished it yet), but I'm somehow already nostalgic for the early-game tracks...?! Amazing work. I've been so unimaginably excited for this since I played the first Anodyne, and I cannot tell you how perfect the timing was for me to play this one.
Heya! I just finished your game and the music was a BIG factor in why I enjoyed my time with it so much. I truly don't wanna leave this amazing world you have created and ill always cherish the warm cozy feelings I get when playing! :)
this game is such an inspiration to me. the writing, the visuals, and the music that ties it all together. this is one of those soundtracks that i always find myself coming back to.........thank u for making such an amazing piece of art that i'll never forget!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of my top ten games of all time. I have never experienced something so emotional and personal before, and it was wrapped in a great story with fun gameplay and an interesting world to discover. To this day this is the only soundtrack that makes me immediately emotional upon hearing it. Do you ever plan to do a physical release? I would shell out top dollar for a vinyl!
Wow thank you!! Glad you enjoyed our world. We put a lot of care into it and it's definitely our vision for one of the futures of games. As for vinyl, I'd like to do it, but it'd probably be a selection of songs. If i launched that it'd probably be after console release early next year! -melos
I added the Anodyne theme to Animal Crossing and I'm now reblasting the ost to GOTY 2019, this game is excellent and I'm eagerly trying to convince all my friends to play it, excellent job with the game, art and OST, y'all ♥️
I got the game on launch but everything got in the way and I still haven't had a chance to play, I've enjoyed listening to the soundtrack tonight though, the opening themes flooded me with nostalgia for the first game, which I still hold dear as one of my all time favourites. Hopefully I will find time to play this one soon, I don't doubt you've continued your streak of brilliance with this title.
Hi, i noticed you often reply or "heart" comments, so here i am i just finished your game, i loved it, it reminds me of very atmospheric ps2 games, which i grew up with i'm glad i found out about it! i also added its ost to my fav ost playlist
The track 'Lamp-strewn Crawlspace' really reminds me of the more unsettling parts of Okami. I'm sure there's a specific scene I'm thinking of, but I can't remember ;-; it's such a good track though, such a short loop but somehow SO atmospheric and creepy and sad and...dusty
I looked for a neat game to drizzle some hours into so I snatched this one for free on Epic Games' store. But instead I found myself. I promise I'll pay double next time, forgive me.
I had it in epic games since then but never played right now i was playing various games that epic give but i didn't play and this was one of the amazing in the bunch i already even whislisted anodyne 1 and the OST for this one
Don't feel gulty :), it's Epic that pays for the free games, not the developpers. I guess they can afford it with the money earned through fortnite... Anyway, I'm in the same case as you, I also had the game for free on Epic, and I have to admit, I also felt sad for the developpers after playing the game, then I red that the loss was for Epic which made me feel better when using their free games system :) .
@@henrriquetordoya1637 How do you feel about the game in hindsight? I haven't played it since my first playthrough 4-ish years ago and it is honestly a lovely memory for me. Been thinking of going back to it and see how I feel now :)

Any chance we'll see a physical release of the game? I've seen the beautiful little digital manual too, if a printed version would be included, man I'd be hyped!
Does anyone know what song "A Quest for Glorious Redemption!" at 1:13:15 is taking inspiration from in the melodic line? Maybe I'm mishearing something, but I swear it sounds like something I've heard before...

Thank you! Some good news in a few days that will hopefully increase its recognition :~)

@@ScarfKat Thanks! I made many of my own synth sounds for this using Ableton Live in order to get the unique sound!

I just wanted to congratulate both of you on such a masterpiece, Melos and Marina. This game was really something special and I will remember it fondly. I can't wait to show this game to my little Zera when she's old enough.
Some of my favorite tracks were:
Center Sanctuary - This track was hauntingly beautiful. It gives the sense that there is something more. It is mysterious and calls out to you.
Center City Cenote - What can I say...this was an instant classic for me. Everything about this track fits perfectly with the theme of the area. It establishes the tone of Nova's beginning and her future quest. It has a sense of determination in it, which is fitting because when you first hear it, you are so early in the game. Whenever you return to Cenote, this track reminds you of when you first started playing. It makes you realize how far you've come, mirroring what Nova likely feels herself.
Dustbound - Wow. I could listen to this track for hours. Whenever I first heard it I instantly knew that this village would be important. There is a sense of discovery. The uplifting vibe of the song contrasts sharply with the dark tone of the previous scenes in the game leading up to it. The piano notes that you place sparingly amongst the synthscape are perfect. I'm talking about moments like 44:24, 45:24, and 45:38, for example. Such masterful composition!
There were very many other songs that I absolutely adored, but these stood out to me as some of the most impactful. Marina, you did an excellent job providing a very intelligent and engaging written story. The dialogue and the music would fit together so perfectly it astounds me that the two of you don't share the same brain. Simply wonderful.
Wow Taylor, thank you for your comment! I'm glad the music left a strong impression on you. Those tracks are some of my favorites as well (in particular Dustbound!) Thanks for your support and take care!
And what about Upon Soaring Highways? It always gave me the sense that I was leaving all I knew behind me to discover a whole new world full of possibilities and mysteries and hopes
no words can describe how happy this track makes me
Absolutely one of my favorite games and soundtracks! Playing it in 2019 during a hard time in my life was genuinely big in changing my outlook on things, and the all-encompassing yet intimate humanity in its fabric has truly stuck with me. To this day I still gush about it to everyone who likes indie games even though I've only played it once. Thanks for creating this amazing piece of art for real!
thank you for playing and sharing!!
When I listen to Center City Cenote I am at peace, once again in the womb, not yet ready to be born, dreaming of transforming myself into something great when the opportunity arrives
I can't wait for the soundtrack to go to Spotify or iTunes. Seriously, more people need to listen to this
Even though I'm like 12 years old, I can't express how incredible this game is. The story is really well written, the characters are fleshed out well, the music slaps so hard (in a good way) the gameplay is top notch. And it's just a great experience. It's a shame that not many people except like the core fan base, know about this game. I really hope this game will get as popular as Mario or Undertale, cause honestly you guys deserve it.
Thank you! I'm happy you found it at such a young age. One of our goals is definitely to inspire younger players and try pushing the medium forward. And it would be nice to get more fans! Maybe with the upcoming console version?

Hey Melos I know I'm like 12 and all but are you guys planning Anodyne 3 and if you are can I help. Don't take this too seriously.
Just beat anodyne 2 both endings and 1:11:57
That's the last time I talk to strangers. Most memorable part of the game for me has me questioning everything I think I know about the series. Can't even say more than that it's not worth spoiling you must experience this yourself.
I remeber when i was finishing the blue Valley zone and when i enter dustbone literally decided to keep playing just because how wonderful the story was playing
i think i've commented twice on this already, but i just finished replaying this game and i'm just overwhelmed by how much i love it. expect a pretentiously long video essay to be made about the anodyne games in a couple years once i've been on HRT long enough to feel comfortable on camera haha. i've got the nano cleaner zera theme stuck in my head, it wasn't a track i was super obsessed with the first time around but now it just makes me so nostalgic and sad.
Wow thank you! Looking forward to more of your thoughts.
oh snap i was hoping for this. absolutely love this game and it's music
Thank you!
28:40 Probably my favorite track.Machines are different from humans. Humans are all under a single name, yet they are different form one another. A person can only form a bond in life with a limited number of people, but you never know what is outside that box of people. The one you consider an enemy is often considered a friend by others. And machines just exist and they only take from their creator and his robot is the perfect example
I love this one so much too.
@@spyrotikus First thing that i do when i open the album is jump on this song
@@ericgeorgescu3391 I try to remember a lot of the names of the songs, but I am really bad at remembering names and song names so I cant. But this one I always remember, even when just thinking about it.
One of the best indie games I have ever played, and my new gold standard for how sequels should improve on their predecessor. The music was a big part; some of my favourite themes were Center City Cenote, the “boring life” song, and Nano Cleaner Zera. Thank you so much for this game, and I’ll definitely be playing “S” day 1!
Thank you for following our work and glad you thought it worked well as a sequel!! Also glad you enjoyed my music! -Melos
Very few games have such trascendent soundtracks that can take me to other worlds and places. This is one of them. Absolutely beautiful. Cenote City in particular is a masterpiece.
Thank you!! -Melos
Just finished the game and I have to thank you all for making such an amazing, unique game. It quickly became one of my favorite games ever and I can't wait to listen more to this amazing OST too!
I think I come here at least three times a week to listen to this OST...
It helps me drive, sleep, draw, anything really.
This game, Anodyne, Even the Ocean, and All Our Asias have such inspiring OSTs, such inspiring stories. They’re all wonderful, and I’m grateful that you have let us experience them.
Thank you!! Glad to hear you like the music and stories so much.
It shouldn't be surprising, but this music is great atmosphere while working my night shift janitor job. It actually helps to dull my chronic pain a bit by getting lost in the soundscape, so your music is also an analgesic! Thank you so much for creating and sharing with the world.
Thanks for listening and I'm glad it's helpful for you!!
Yesterday I've finished the ''good/true?'' ending of andonyne 2, and it made me emotional, and I didn't think I still had it in me to get to that point from playing a game. It was a lot of to fun to play and explore and I was super invested in watching Nova's story unfold and living through the emotions that came with it. And I think I learned something? That's always a plus.
The music was really amazing and I love the use of Leitmotif from Palasade theme it really added to the scenes and what they where trying to convey. Overall the game had some really great beats and they never got to the point of being monotonous.
I hope that the future for you both is as bright as you made it for Nova & Zera.
Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you saw the game through!
I'm so glad I have a way to listen to this games music now! It's so relaxing it fits perfectly with the games tone. I love this game so much it was an amazing experience! Can't wait for anodyne 3😉
hmm today i will cry to ambient noise
Good choice! Please enjoy.
That whole Geoff scene really hit me in the feels. 30:36 still sends chills down my spine.
This one of the things that I really like to listen when I'm drawing my story.
I got a copy of this game in a bundle. The story and the music were inspiring and I wish you the best in your video game development. You have something special here.
everytime i listen to this i start to cry
Aw thanks for your comment!
Anodyne and Anodyne 2 are two of the most amazing and inspirational games for me. Totally reformed my inner philosophies about life and games with these pieces of art. Thank you for the amazing music as well. I will play everything you guys make
Wow thank you! I'm glad to hear that our games were so valuable for you and for your continued support!
@@analgesicproductions without people like you understanding and creating on the platform of video games I would have little faith for the progression. But you and a few other developers really understand how to subvert expectation and exceed expectation with limited tools and create something really magical to experience alone or with friends. We sit and muse over the boundaries of an imagined reality and in turn expand our understandings of life. Powerful stuff. And you are some of the only people who know how to harness it! Thanks again and really look forward to your next projects
@@zillagramwiches thank you that means a lot to hear we're on the right track! Yes, a lot of our games work is trying to really imagine a future for games and make enriching stuff!
I cant remember if I commented on here previously, but ever since I played through the game in september, I get nostalgic for the music already. I keep coming back here to listen to Center City Cenote, Lamp Strewn Crawlspace/Musty Attic Loneliness, Pastel Horizon, Bonegummed Yearnsands, and ton of others. Its just so unique and listenable. The game and its soundtrack remind me of a combo of Undertale and Earthbound in its weird/quirkiness.
Thank you for playing and glad you liked the music! I like those OSTs too. You might enjoy reading this list of anodyne 2 musical influences: meloshantani.wordpress.com/2019/11/25/anodyne-2-musical-influences-an-incomplete-list/
@@analgesicproductions Thanks will def check that out!
A true hidden gem. A heartwarming experience from start to finish. Music is how I remember some of my fondest memories, and unfortunate as this timing is for me, this will be one of those OSTs that reminds me of a soft, safe haven in dark times.
Thank you two for making this.
Thanks for your comment!! -Melos
@@analgesicproductions Do you prefer us to purchase the soundtrack off Steam or Bandcamp?
@@zaczxypher3941 bandcamp!
Hi, i recently finished playing your game and felt like letting you know my thoughts on it. I picked this game up very casually because it looked interesting. The experience i had and the time that i spent with the game is absolutely irreplacable to me. Being completely honest, i never expected the game to make me feel like it did, but it did make me feel in the end, it made me feel like never before. I simply can't put my love for this game in words. Thank you so much.
Thank you and I'm glad you had a very memorable time. Honestly a big part of why we make games is to create stuff that will really be memorable and worthwhile for people so I'm happy you had a good time!!
Still playing through this game for the first time, but Time To Let Go is perfect
Can't stop coming here at least once a week and listen (multiple times) to my favourite tracks. Love you guys so much
Thanks for listening!! Glad you like the dimension dive song too :~)
Just started playing this game and the soundtracks already getting stuck in my head. You killed it with this ost.
I'm so glad to have bought this game (and it's amazing soundtrack) on week 1, played Anodyne 1 recently and I'm loving 2 even more as I play. Good job, guys!
found these games through Nitro Rad's review of Anodyne 1. Really glad I saw that review because now these two games are some of my all time favorites.
your music adds an amazing touch of emotion to these games that I haven't seen done the same anywhere else.
can't wait for the next project!
Thank you! I'm glad you heard about it through his video and that you played our games! Next one should be out early next year!
Legitimately when i first heard 1:53:13 , I couldn’t hold back my laughter because I only recognized it from Arfenhouse.
I know it’s one if the default songs in OHRRPGCE (which that section is an homage to) but in my heart, that music is associated with Arfenhouse.
Me too! (Melos). I actually never knew about ohrrpgce and this song until a few years ago - it was always the arfenhouse song for me!
@@analgesicproductions That is amazing
Hi, I got the game on epic, I finished it 2 days ago, and since I can't write a steam review I'm here to say that your game made me feel like no other have. I don't know, it was kinda familiar, welcoming, even peaceful. I think the music has a lot to do with this. It feels dreamy and warm, I like it. Thank you both for your creation. I wish you the best.
Thank you for playing and for your thoughts!! I definitely agree about the music.
-Melos
Just finished both Anodyne 1 and 2. Both fantastic games. With the brilliant OST and great writing I bet you'd make a good visual novel.
Thanks for playing! I've considered making visual novels a few times. My game All Our Asias (2018, free) is kinda like a visual novel - I'd like to explore more stuff like that. -Melos
@@analgesicproductions ooo I’ll have to check it out
this game changed me i love this game so much
Amazing, beautiful game in every way. Love the soundtrack!
This makes the game so special. I love it
Not listening in full until I finish the game, but I needed to say that Greensleeves with a MIDI cuica broke me for several minutes. Thank you. (I've been enjoying everything else too.)
i'm glad you liked that part!
The Life That We'll Live always moves me tears no matter how many times I've listened to it... It channels all my memories as Nova and makes the ending all the more bittersweet. If I have a baby girl I'll most definitely name her Zera, for I hope the world we live in will have room for all of Zera :)
Thank you for making such a wonderful (and very sentimental!) dream a reality. Level design, writing, visuals, music... the production value of the game is sublime! Anodyne 2 will forever be one of my top 5 favorite games (that is, until Anodyne 3 tops it)!
I loved this game. Finished both 1 & 2 last year. Loved both of them. Just wish there was more :’(
Thanks! You might like some of our other games or our next one!
+ANALGESIC PRODUCTIONS I have yet to play Even the Ocean or All Our Asias, so I should do that!
Really excited for what you two make next! I hope you expand more on 3D gameplay in the next game, but I’m looking forward to what you all have planned regardless.
@@averyjenson thanks! A significant part of our next game is 3d platforming exploration so you're in luck!
Number 12 is my favourite. I explored the city over and over just to listen the track. I like the track so much I find myself humming it. 😊
Thank you for your wonderful game.
Thank you!!
I bought the original Anodyne on a whim while it was on sale and played it only last year, so I was surprised when Anodyne 2 released not long after and was happy to pay full price for it. I love both games and soundtracks and will definitely be buying this one soon, thanks for the great stuff!
This upload has gotten me through so much difficult studying. Thank You so much for compiling the OST into this video! Amazing game, excited to replay it sometime soon!
I got this game on epic awhile back and finally tried and it was amazing you did a great job
This OST brings me home. Thank you. I haven't finished the game yet, but it feels like it's cleaning the dust in my body everytime I advance a little in it.
Listened to the album before playing the game, then when I play after an edible I find myself entranced in the music doing circles in my car around the track for who knows how long. The music adds SO MUCH
Ty for your story!
I just downloaded & started playing this yesterday (and haven't finished it yet), but I'm somehow already nostalgic for the early-game tracks...?! Amazing work. I've been so unimaginably excited for this since I played the first Anodyne, and I cannot tell you how perfect the timing was for me to play this one.
You both made something really special and amazing. I hope you feel proud of yourselves for that.
Thank you!! We definitely are proud of what we've been able to make, thanks for playing!
Favorite indie game right here.
this ost makes my heart hurt in a really good way 🐊
This is
Without a doubt
One of my favorite games ever-
Thanks!
@@analgesicproductions
Seriously though, I love this game to death! Everything about it is simply fantastic.
Finally the ost is on UA-cam!
Thank you guys for this amazing game, it was a pleasure playing it!
Thank you for playing and glad you like the music!
im glad I bought the ost from steam
Heya! I just finished your game and the music was a BIG factor in why I enjoyed my time with it so much. I truly don't wanna leave this amazing world you have created and ill always cherish the warm cozy feelings I get when playing! :)
Thank you for enjoying the game and your message!!
Such a greeaat soundtrack
Thankyou for uploading this!!!
this game is such an inspiration to me. the writing, the visuals, and the music that ties it all together. this is one of those soundtracks that i always find myself coming back to.........thank u for making such an amazing piece of art that i'll never forget!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comment!! And for playing!
amazing game, amazing music. thank you so much for making it.
Thank you!
-melos
This is one of my top ten games of all time. I have never experienced something so emotional and personal before, and it was wrapped in a great story with fun gameplay and an interesting world to discover. To this day this is the only soundtrack that makes me immediately emotional upon hearing it. Do you ever plan to do a physical release? I would shell out top dollar for a vinyl!
Wow thank you!! Glad you enjoyed our world. We put a lot of care into it and it's definitely our vision for one of the futures of games. As for vinyl, I'd like to do it, but it'd probably be a selection of songs. If i launched that it'd probably be after console release early next year!
-melos
I added the Anodyne theme to Animal Crossing and I'm now reblasting the ost to GOTY 2019, this game is excellent and I'm eagerly trying to convince all my friends to play it, excellent job with the game, art and OST, y'all ♥️
Aw cool thanks!
Amazing work, Sean. Just so hypnotic and nostalgic. I can't wait for more cool stuff in the future!
Man, I can't wait to get this on the switch!
Amazing ost
I got the game on launch but everything got in the way and I still haven't had a chance to play, I've enjoyed listening to the soundtrack tonight though, the opening themes flooded me with nostalgia for the first game, which I still hold dear as one of my all time favourites. Hopefully I will find time to play this one soon, I don't doubt you've continued your streak of brilliance with this title.
Thank you!
Hi, i noticed you often reply or "heart" comments, so here i am
i just finished your game, i loved it, it reminds me of very atmospheric ps2 games, which i grew up with
i'm glad i found out about it!
i also added its ost to my fav ost playlist
Thank you for the comment and glad you found out about it!
I was sad when this game ended cause I JUST NEEDED MORE
This game is soooo underrated
I must say, this game has an incredible OST.Thank you
Thanks I'm glad you like my music! -Melos
Really great game with a killer soundtrack to boot. Keep up the good work. 👍
Wonderful game, a very peaceful ambiance. You're game is a incredible experience. Thanks your amazing work!, C'est formidable !
A fan From France
I love this game
Thanks!!
I´ve just finished the first game on Nintendo Switch. It was wonderful. I wish part 2 ws aviable for Switch aswell.
The track 'Lamp-strewn Crawlspace' really reminds me of the more unsettling parts of Okami. I'm sure there's a specific scene I'm thinking of, but I can't remember ;-; it's such a good track though, such a short loop but somehow SO atmospheric and creepy and sad and...dusty
Thanks! I've never played okami very far but if you ever remember what part it reminds you of feel free to post here!
anodyne 2 made me dimly feel things even through the antidepressant haze :)
If there ever comes to be a playlist with each individual song please let me know :)
- also Bonegummed Yearnsands ftw 1:08:28
I looked for a neat game to drizzle some hours into so I snatched this one for free on Epic Games' store.
But instead I found myself.
I promise I'll pay double next time, forgive me.
I had it in epic games since then but never played right now i was playing various games that epic give but i didn't play and this was one of the amazing in the bunch i already even whislisted anodyne 1 and the OST for this one
Don't feel gulty :), it's Epic that pays for the free games, not the developpers. I guess they can afford it with the money earned through fortnite... Anyway, I'm in the same case as you, I also had the game for free on Epic, and I have to admit, I also felt sad for the developpers after playing the game, then I red that the loss was for Epic which made me feel better when using their free games system :) .
@@henrriquetordoya1637 How do you feel about the game in hindsight? I haven't played it since my first playthrough 4-ish years ago and it is honestly a lovely memory for me.
Been thinking of going back to it and see how I feel now :)
There's a reason if this video doesn't have a single dislike.
Great OST, just got it on bandcamp, too bad some tracks are missing (only 67 tracks on the dowloaded Zip)!
Which ones are missing?
@@analgesicproductions Hi! Mostly the new Theeland themes: F01,02,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12, too bad as they are so great as the zone itself!
@@adrienspeedy6596 hi! Those are downloadable through a link (see the album description )
Both anodynes are masterpieces, but 2 is better
Next pay check I'm going after both Anodyne's! You hear Both!
Songs that go skrrra
Concrete Islands of desire
Infernal Construction Tower
Sludge Stained Kitchen
Dimension Diving
Costume Party's Over Nerds!
Unleash your fashion storm!
Pechicor bloodbath
The Land
The Anodyne
Any chance we'll see a physical release of the game? I've seen the beautiful little digital manual too, if a printed version would be included, man I'd be hyped!
We did one with the yetee in 2019, not sure if there will be a reprint though!
@@analgesicproductionsAny chance of a Switch (physical) release..?
@@scottmichaelhedge5055 not atm but there will be news here if so!
Does anyone know what song "A Quest for Glorious Redemption!" at 1:13:15 is taking inspiration from in the melodic line? Maybe I'm mishearing something, but I swear it sounds like something I've heard before...
It's Greensleeves! (Folk song)
@@analgesicproductions thank you!! For the reply and the great soundtrack, just rolled credits on the game last night :)
bonegummed yearnsands = :'c

1:48:49 nice
