Forgotton Anne is a dazzling, story-driven, hand-crafted 2D cinematic adventure focused on the mysterious Forgotten Lands:  the hidden dimension where all mislaid items from the human world - the odd socks, the lost letters, the missing toys - all linger.

With the help of the Forgotlings - creatures composed of mislaid objects longing to be remembered again - the trapped Anne and Master Bonku begin a quest to find their way home. It’s a story full of emotion, and one layered with a combination of light 2D puzzle platforming and dialogue choices.

“As anyone who was able to catch Forgotton Anne throughout 2017 will know, this is one of the best, most striking looking games we’ve ever put out,” offers Phil Elliott, Director Indie Publishing at Square Enix West. “This isn’t just an adventure that looks like an anime, it’s anime in full, fluid motion. We simply cannot wait to get this beauty into the hands of gamers - it’s a story as delicate and engaging as the world it plays out in.”

“It’s been a genuine pleasure to watch gamers and critics alike tuck into Forgotton Anne’s early builds over the last 12 months, but now’s when things get really exciting,” offered Alfred Nguyen, Creative Director and Co-founder of ThroughLine Games. “We think we’ve created a world that both pays homage to some of the biggest anime films but also takes the art form in a different direction, giving players the chance to live out an animated adventure for real.”

Key Features:

• A Seamless 2D Cinematic Experience: Featuring detailed painted environments and traditional 2d animations that will make you feel as if you are in an animated feature. Cutscenes are rendered "ingame" allowing for seamless storytelling, while an orchestral score and fully voiced dialogue completes the illusion.
• Epic Adventure: As you run, jump and climb your way through the Forgotton Realm, your actions can affect how you experience the story. Featuring Dialogue Options, your encounter with Forgotling creatures can have different outcomes as you uncover the mysteries of the world and your past in this emotional fantasy adventure where things are not always as they appear to be...
• Use the Arca: As the feared enforcer, Anne, you wield the Arca stone on your hand, enabling you to see and manipulate Anima energy in your surroundings. The power of the Arca lets you distill and instill Anima into creatures and control machinery that runs on Anima. Your actions may decide the fate of many a Forgotling.

On the audio-side, ThroughLine Games is proud to announce a collaboration with the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra which marks the first time orchestral music is being recorded in Denmark for a videogame, utilizing world-class concert hall Radiohuset produced together with acclaimed music production house Timbre Music. The music is composed by ThroughLine's in-house composer Peter Due.
