A platformer with Studio Ghibli vibes, an interesting world and lots of charming living objects. The controls were a bit wonky, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment.

One of the first games I ever bought for myself. I’ll never regret getting this game that one day I was sitting alone in my home, trying to think of something to do, nor will I ever forget the times where I would replay it late into the night. Forgotten Anne is such a compelling story of a young girl who simply has no connection to the citizens of her world, and wholly believes that what she’s doing is right. Her story of connecting to these people and with two separate endings to depict her choices and beliefs in the game is simply amazing. She’s a moving character whose growth is stunning throughout the story. There were some bugs here and there, but no matter how much they bothered me, the game itself always felt worth it in the end.

In the first 10 minutes after finishing I was ready to file this game into the 5/5-Tier, that's how much I enjoyed the [B]unique setting[/B], [B]animated-feature-film-quality presentation and storytelling[/B] and the [B]delightfully oddball cast of anthropomorphic object NPCs[/B], but after calming down a little, I remembered there are a few significant flaws in this game that need to be mentioned. First of all, the [B]genre-mix of adventure game and slow side-scrolling platforming with very old-school controls[/B] - think original 8-bit Prince of Persia to get an idea just how old-school and slow - immediately resonated with me since I'm always up for something a little out of the ordinary, but is pretty much guaranteed to irritate others who want their adventures to be point-and-click and their platformers to be Super Mario. I personally often struggled to remember the eccentric button layout for the game controller, leading to a couple more missed jumps and accidental triggering of (in-game) buttons than I would have liked. Then there's the [B]inconsistent difficulty of the puzzles[/B], all centered around engines and mechanisms encountered during the game and the player character's ability to either inject or draw power from them across a short distance. Some are very straightforward, some require the player to correctly guess the exact mechanics behind them and if the player guesses wrong, there are no hints to get them unstuck. The consistently gorgeous [B]level design sometimes is so overloaded with detail that it becomes difficult to tell what is a platform or otherwise interactable object and what is part of the background[/B]. This is compounded by the fact that in some sections of the game, the levels extend to multiple side-scrolling layers, connected by things like stairs or bridges. And finally there are [B]problems with the game's sound mix[/B]: Individually, the voice acting, the sound effects and ambience and the music - performed by the Sjællands Symfoniorkester of Copenhagen, Denmark - are each top tier, but during the game they often end up stepping on each other, requiring the player to take a few trips to the settings menu to adjust the relative volumes, including during some dramatic key moments of the game. Aside from these issues however, this game is the closest experience to an interactive top-tier anime in the magical realist style of Studio Ghibli I have had yet, and a scenario and story that match this vibe perfectly. There are two final endings, but many more branch points in the story that change dialogue and interactions with NPCs and yield one out of four possible tarot cards at the end (displayed in the save-game slot) that describe the personality that the player character exhibited in summary. Another new personal all-time favorite of mine and a strong [B]4/5[/B].

Actually very good, with one major caveat. You cannot remap keybindings and accessibility options are pretty poor. But pending this is not an issue to you, I recommend the game. I uploaded a video and included the options, so maybe you have a work around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc_aTRSAeCg The game is... not really my thing, puzzle platformer. Despite that, I really enjoyed the short time I played it and look forward to playing more (Once I work out that puzzle at the end of my video) The world the game is set in seems to be a world where forgotten items are sent, I dread to think how much of my stuff is there, I hope it's living a good life. Inanimate objects that get forgotten or go missing seem to pop away and come to life in this fantasy world. I'm not sure about the rest of the story, but I don't want to spoil it for you anyway! There's definitely an ominous feel to the choices you can make and the world around you. You can drain anima, a form of energy from the now living objects and they become inanimate once more. I've noticed that you can potentially do this with everything... But I didn't test this, I didn't have the heart to kill the scarf or the light. I'm the kind of person who apologises to the couch when she stubs her toe on it... Besides this... I feel that there are multiple choices that might effect gameplay, which is always a joy. The art style is gorgeous, everything is adorable, even scarves and socks! The camera takes different angles, occasionally zooming in to remind you of how beautiful the game is. The sound design is very good, I just got new speakers recently and this game put them to use fantastically! The music is also very good, it fits the wonderful atmosphere, whilst also reaffirming my belief that... perhaps there's something darker to the world. If you cannot play this game for any reason, or the gameplay doesn't grab you, I recommend looking up a playthrough of it, I imagine it'd still be very fun to watch this game. If you do play this game, I hope you enjoy it! (And are better at playing it than I am.) If you don't play this game, based on my review, I hope you find something else to suit your fancy. Regardless... I hope you have a lovely day. Thank you for reading. <3
