Anode Heart: Layer Null is a side-game semi-sequel to the monster tamer game of Anode Heart. This game focuses on the vastly expanded card game combat and becoming the No. 1 card master on the Server. You play as Blank , a new player in the Duel Server , an in-between Layer of the Systems where everything is decided by Card Games . As you rise through the Server Ranks, you will start encountering the Shadowed , members of a mysterious organization with an unknown, but most probably evil goal. [!] There are reoccurring characters and references to the first Anode Heart installment, but it's not necessary to know them in order to enjoy this game. Game features: * Unique card battling system * Local (and direct connection) PvP * 500+ cards to collect and play with * 12 unique levels and card bosses * New story and characters * Tama monster DNA collection * an Isometric Gameboy/PSX vibe Card game minigame from Anode Heart is now expanded into its own game, with 10 new booster packs, re-balanced card sets and refurbished rules and mechanics. There are card bosses and Tama you can fight through the card game, and a tournament ranking style system. This is the second game in the Anode Heart universe, serving as a bridge to the Sequel that will take place on the far side of Zearth, after the ending of the first game. [Layer Null] is set in a new Layer, with focus now entirely on the card game and a new plot surrounding it. There's a new cast of characters, but you may recognize a few familiar faces and names. I've carried over the lessons I learned through the release of my first game, so whether you're new to the A:H universe or a Virtual-slaying Veteran, I hope you'll enjoy this one as well! - Sto
