The Anders Cyclopaedia

Fun game, when is the next update?

Wow, it was very short, but I'm very hopefull I can someday play a full game of this. The Concept, the athmosphere, the visual style and story immediatly clicked with me. I love the pdf part, this is very creative and imersive.

love  where this is going i will definitely be keeping tabs on it!

noticed some sketchy hitboxes in the bog- some of the tendrils near the central tree seem to be misplaced, with no collision and invisible walls positioned nearby

I was immediately fascinated by this game from the moment I booted it up. I cannot wait for more. Please keep going!

Love it, really really hope this continues development.

Love. And I need more. Love the Pastel Defender Heliotrope vibes. Super cool, please continue.

far more story driven than i expected thus far, but color me hooked!
i'm so excited to see what comes next! (and add it to the Cyclopaedia!!)

This game rules! Really natural use of the Disco Elysium style dialogue and skills system, especially for such a different style of game. I hope that system catches on in a big way in other rpgs. Having a pdf open in another tab while playing was way more engaging than I expected it to be, though my mouse drawings could definitely use some work ^^' The intrigue is really strong, and so is the character dynamic between the player and the exp. I can't wait to see where this goes next!

Cool game reminds me of anodyne 2 ->

This game really digs into my indulgent desire to read the entire game book before playing the video game. I really enjoyed what exits so far and look forward to any updates!

Going in, I thought this was going to be much more focused on the exploration and cataloging critters, and I was surprised by the story/RPG elements (pleasantly so). It seems like there's a ton of potential here for what direction the game could go- do you see this becoming a more story/character driven game, or a more atmospheric/exploratory game about cataloging the wildlife? Or a balance of the two?

I will admit that I only played through once, and I was too afraid to lick the [REDACTED]

Hey, gave this one a try and absolutely fell in love with it. Is there anyway you could make the survey available digitally? Would love to fill it out.

So...this is grilling.
It's almost amazing at what it does, unnerve you of what you don't know, of what you've never seen, but it feels like it shows you its horror too early for your introspection into its world to be flipped to fear.

I'm unsure if the game is supposed to be short, but for me it got to the blackhole section and then told me to fill out a survey (which never really showed anything that I'd write down) with the button to continue playing being impossible to reach since the mouse was still locked.
If the above issue is fixed (if it even is an issue), please notify me as I'd love to continue playing.


I will say that while I'm surprised by the quality of the game considering other games on itch, I'm sorta disappointed even in the little bit that I played by what the game was setting itself up to be, I'll say again that I felt the terror would be brewed over a long period of time, where the game will let you get cozy and snuggle up with it until it snaps your neck in your sleep.

4.7/5 out of the segment that I played, but since I missed a lot of it because of the last survey, it's possible that I misinterpreted and mistreated the entire game, maybe that the game isn't even supposed to be scary.
I'll happily delete and re-review if the issue gets fixed.
