Anode Heart APK pays tribute to the classic monster taming games of the early 2000s. It's set in a future where physical and virtual reality are deeply intertwined, having become almost indistinguishable from one another. The mechanics draw inspiration from the classics, while the setting takes a more modern perspective on the relationship between technology and humanity. Players can look forward to nostalgic gameplay with a refreshing high-concept premise.
You play as Seek, a robot with no memories. Your journey begins by awakening next to a metallic pod on a foggy shore. While exploring Stack Island, you'll partner up with Tama, mysterious creatures born inside the Net, that have recently started materializing in the Overworld. Your mission will be to find out who and what you are, and with the help of Tama, to prevent a great calamity looming on the horizon.

About the author
I started working on this project in early 2021. and I decided to fully commit to it in August of 2021. My long lasting dream is to create games and tell stories through them.
Games like Digimon World, Chrono Trigger, Spyro the Dragon and Pokemon have defined my childhood and have remained a great source of inspiration for me, and I hope that I’ll be able to evoke that same sense of mystery and nostalgia with Anode Heart, as those games did and continue to do for me.
