This project will only be available as source code until a 1.0 release is complete. Afterwards, it will be submitted to Flathub for distribution there.
Elysiae aims to create a unified launcher for all "anime games", intending to serve as a replacement to the launchers that were developed by an-anime-team.
The launchers created by an-anime-team have many issues, namely:
-
Each launcher supports only one game, so players who enjoy multiple "anime games" must install multiple launchers. It should be noted that each launcher are almost identical in terms of code and differ only in which game's data they fetch. Furthermore, each launcher installs its own wine environment, which creates unnecessary bloat when multiple launchers are installed.
-
Work on a unified launcher by an-anime-team has started, but has largely stalled and has drifted away from its initial goal by heavily focusing on extensibility. The unified launcher was released without support for any of the games they were meant to support as of March 31st, 2026.
The Elysiae Project aims to provide an alternative to the launchers maintained by an-anime-team, offering Linux players a unified way to launch and manage their "anime games".
To use Elysiae, Your system must meet the following requirements:
- An x64 (x86-64) or arm64 (aarch64) CPU
- At least 1024MB of memory
- Linux Kernel >= 6.14
- Systemd
- DE running with Wayland
- ~450MB of storage
Please see CONTRIBUTING.md
Elysiae does NOT use any cheats/game plug-ins in order to get your games running. The Elyisae Project does NOT host any game content and is fetching it directly from your servers, just like your own services, and do not modify any files downloaded in this manner. Finally, The Elysiae Project also does not condone any user action that would result in a violation of your Terms of Service. The Elysiae Project only provides a method for Linux users to play your games.
Elysiae should be completely safe to use. However, please note that we are not responsible for any consequences that may come from using the launcher. Use Elysiae at your own risk.
