COSM-GAME Aniimo
Aniimo is a free-to-play open-world creature-catching RPG set across the continent of Idyll, where players become Pathfinders who discover, capture, study, raise, and travel with magical creatures called Aniimo. Capturing uses tools called Aniipods, while the signature Twine system lets a Pathfinder essentially become a collected Aniimo and directly use its movement and combat abilities for exploration, puzzles, and real-time battles. The world supports solo and multiplayer activities, including competitive encounters and the three-player Operation: Egg Heist mode. Between expeditions, players can return to their RV and Homeland to build, decorate, grow crops, and spend time with their creatures.

Platforms and availability
Aniimo is now playable on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. PC players can access the game through Steam and Epic Games Store, while the console versions use PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Cloud Gaming are also supported. Android and iOS / iPadOS remain confirmed platforms, with their mobile release scheduled for September 23 through Google Play and the App Store.
Gameplay and setting
Aniimo is built around exploring Idyll as a Pathfinder and discovering creatures that behave differently according to their species, habitat, weather, and surrounding conditions. Players capture them with Aniipods, raise and evolve them, research their behavior through the Aniilog, and use their abilities in real-time combat. The central Twine mechanic lets the Pathfinder essentially become a collected Aniimo, directly controlling its abilities to fight, solve environmental puzzles, glide, swim, burrow, and reach places the human character cannot access in the same way.
The open world supports both solo and multiplayer play. Operation: Egg Heist sends three-player teams into the Lost Isles for PvEvP searches and battles, while other activities include competitive encounters, research, exploration, creature development, and Holo-Battle Interlink. Outside expeditions, each Pathfinder has an RV and can return to Homeland to grow crops, construct and decorate spaces, interact with Aniimo, and meet other players.
