Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is a 3D-2D adventure about Nova, a Nano Cleaner who travels across the island of New Theland to find people infected by Nano Dust. You explore the 3D world, meet its strange inhabitants and shrink into their bodies and minds to clear the Dust and heal them. The story follows Nova as painful experiences and unusual characters test her loyalty, even as her role as New Theland’s rescuer seems clear.

New Theland

The island’s cities, valleys and wastelands open up for exploration. You can walk, jump or drive across these 3D locations, speak with their inhabitants and choose where to go. Nova can transform into a car at will to travel around the world.

Inside the mindscapes

Firing Nova’s Spark lets her shrink into an infected character and enter a 2D dungeon within their body and mind. These mindscapes range from snowy, aurora-lit valleys to dangerous volcanic construction sites. You vacuum up Nano Dust, suck up and fight enemies, and solve puzzles tied to each character’s inner life.

The story

Nano Dust distorts the emotions and desires of New Theland’s islanders. Nova seeks out those who are sick and explores their inner worlds to clean away the Dust. The adventure takes about 8–10 or more hours. Anodyne 2 has a self-contained story, though longtime players of Anodyne may recognize connections between the games.
