Platforms and availability

Pawprint Studio lists PC through Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Android, iPhone and iPad for the global release campaign. The July beta covered PC, Steam, Android and iOS rather than the console builds.

Gameplay overview

Players explore Idyll, catch creatures with Aniipods, train and evolve their companions, and Twine with an Aniimo to use its abilities directly during traversal and action combat.

Steam's current description also introduces three-player Egg Heist PvEvP matches, multiplayer exploration and a mobile Home built around farming, construction and customization.

Story, setting, or main mode

The player is a Pathfinder travelling through Idyll and forming bonds with its Aniimo. Astra acts as a social stop between journeys, while regional ecosystems, creature encounters and unexplained landmarks frame the wider adventure.
