An Ode to Life

In Development

Story-driven JRPG

An adventure.
And all the life in between.

A story-driven JRPG about the people, relationships and ordinary days that make a journey matter.

An original story-driven JRPG

There is a world
beyond the next hill.

An Ode to Life is an original Japanese-style role-playing game in development at ANVA. Characters, relationships, family and adventure sit at the heart of its direction.

We are interested in the life around the adventure, too: the people who make a place home, the connections that grow, and the meaning found in ordinary moments.

The revised key art introduces our white-haired, blue-goggled protagonist and the small turquoise slime companion. It is a glimpse of a creative world taking shape, not a screenshot of finished gameplay.

Still on the Workbench

The story is still being written.

In development. The illustration introduces the game’s world and characters; it is promotional concept art, not a playable game screenshot.

No release date or download yet. If you have a thought, a question or something you would love to see, we’re happy to hear it.
