Forgotton Anne is an indieadventure-platformer video game developed by ThroughLine Games and published by Square Enix Collective.[1][2][3] The game features a hand-drawn anime aesthetic style and an orchestral score performed by the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra[4][5] and was released on May 15, 2018 on Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.[6]
Forgotton Anne takes place in a fictional world called Forgotten Lands, a magical parallel universe where lost objects — everything from missing socks to discarded lamps — come to life, hoping one day that they might be remembered again and returned to the real world.[7] The player controls Anne, an Enforcer who keeps order in the Forgotten Lands, who sets out to extinguish a rebellion that could prevent her master, Bonku, and herself from returning to the human world.[8] Celtic heroes wikipedia.
