About Mato Anomalies
Mato Anomalies is a turn‑based RPG set in Mato, a neo‑futuristic reinterpretation of an old oriental city. Players alternate between two protagonists—private detective Doe, who gathers clues, and exorcist Gram, who fights demonic forces in rifts. The story follows their quest to uncover the city’s dark secrets while confronting duty, hope, and justice. The game blends investigation, dialogue, and strategic combat. Shared health, a gear matrix, and a dual‑talent system demand careful planning, and alliances with unlikely companions deepen the narrative as players explore both the surface city and its hidden rift‑filled underworld.

Dual Protagonists
Doe and Gram each bring a distinct playstyle. Doe focuses on gathering intel by talking to NPCs, taking missions, and visiting shops, while Gram specializes in battling demonic abominations within rifts using an incisive arsenal.
Switching between them lets players experience both investigative and combat‑focused gameplay, creating a layered narrative that intertwines mystery solving with high‑stakes battles.
- Compare how each protagonist’s actions affect story progression; note any differences in dialogue outcomes.
- Observe how combat effectiveness varies when Gram leads versus when Doe is the primary actor.

- Compare dialogue options that deepen trust versus those that keep allies distant.
- Note any changes in combat support when an ally is recruited.

Smart Combat
Combat features shared health across all team members, a gear matrix, and a dual‑talent system. These mechanics require coordinated strategy, as damage to one character affects the whole party.
The unique combat design encourages players to consider talent synergies and gear placement to overcome challenging demonic foes.
- Experiment with different talent pairings to discover effective combos.
- Observe how gear choices impact the shared health pool during tough battles.
05 / THE GUIDE
Dual Worlds
Mato’s surface city hides a second world accessed through rifts—portals that lead beyond space and time. These rifts house powerful enemies and serve as the primary battlegrounds for Gram.
Exploring both layers reveals the involvement of corrupt factions and deepens the mystery surrounding Mato’s fate.
- Map rift locations to see how they relate to surface story events.
- Compare enemy types in rifts with those encountered on the city’s surface.
