8 itemsAbout the Game
Know Your Ánima (KYA) is a small mystical and introspective journey where you cultivate the dreamlike representation of your inner garden—a space that reflects who you truly are. Every choice you make—planting, watering, harvesting, ignoring, expanding, accepting or rejecting requests—shapes an emotional profile that is revealed at the end through creatures called Ánimas.
You awaken in a garden that feels familiar yet ethereal, suspended in a plane that seems to belong to another world. Soft light, astral glimmers, and delicate sounds surround you. There, you are greeted by Epifanía, a small frog who acts as your guide and silent observer.
Over the course of 12 days and nights, different Ánimas will visit your garden: some curious, others analytical, chaotic, or shy. They will ask for favors, share small stories, or simply watch how you work.
When the cycle ends, the game quietly interprets all your actions to reveal your three dominant Ánimas—a symbolic combination that reflects your strengths, habits, and emotional tendencies.
