What is Gabby's Odyssey?
Gabby's Odyssey will be an imaginative action-adventure game for players of all ages.
(Admittedly, that sounds like a typical marketing slogan. But we really are developing the game for all generations.)
You accompany Gabby, a brave girl who is drawn into a world full of secrets. Together, you explore mysterious places, solve tricky puzzles, overcome treacherous traps, fight bizarre creatures, and discover a world as vivid and varied as a child's imagination.
This nostalgic adventure feels familiar, yet completely new.
The game world
Larion is a mysterious world born of a child's imagination—colorful, wondrous, and full of surprises.
Gabby travels through five very different regions, each with a different vibe and unique challenges.
Each of these regions tells us something about how children see things: full of wonder, creativity, and sometimes shadows.
Why this game?
Gabby's Odyssey aims to offer a gaming experience that appeals to all age groups equally. Children are drawn into the imaginative world of Larion and embark on exciting adventures. Adults feel the nostalgic charm and experience the magic of earlier gaming experiences.
Today's games are often overloaded, very hectic, and too demanding.
We want to bring back the feel and comfort of classic action-adventure games:
tricky but fair puzzles, exciting action, intuitive controls, a lovingly crafted world, and an emotional story.
An adventure that adjusts its challenges to the players' skills.
An action-adventure that feels nostalgically familiar while also breaking new ground.
Our dream is to create a game with Gabby's Odyssey that will be remembered with warmth and joy in twenty years' time.
The people behind Gabby's Odyssey
Gabby's Odyssey is being developed by Animation Arts – a small, independent studio based in Naumburg, Germany.
We have been developing games for various platforms since 2004.
With titles such as Secret Files: Tunguska and Lost Horizon, both of which won the German Developer Award, we have made a significant mark in the adventure genre.
Most recently, in 2023, we co-produced the science-fiction adventure Monolith with Course Interactive.
With Gabby's Odyssey, we are breaking new ground. It is a dynamic, accessible action adventure that stays true to our narrative roots while appealing to a wider audience.

Please note: The videos and clips are from an early stage of our game's development. Much of it is still a work in progress!
With the help of ancient teleporters, Gabby travels from island to island, venturing deeper and deeper into the mysterious regions of Larion.
Gabby moves precisely and with good control through the 90-degree grid – puzzle objects, traps, and enemies remain clearly visible at all times. 2D retro feel meets 3D world!
Explore, solve puzzles, fight: a first look at the gameplay – with more to come in our upcoming updates!
