• thoughts :
  • right off the bat, this game caught my attention. i loved how detailed all the landscapes & cutscenes are, it makes Ann really stand out in the RPG horror crowd.
  • time absolutely flied whenever i was playing— matter of fact, it is the sole reason why my sleep schedule is currently ✨fucked✨
  • as of writing this, Ann has easily become one of my all-time favorites.
  • favorite character definitely has to be Mr. Security
  • very quickly i grew attached to our characters, both Ann and Mr. Security hold special places in my heart.
    • i think i ship them oops
    • multishipper moment
  • characters were fun and memorable and their designs were pretty appealing, save for charles' "resident" form. i understand what they were going for but it did not work design-wise imo
  • puzzles were fun— perfect difficulty, i'd say. after clearing a few, it was a lot easier to complete the others, i had adjusted to its quirks by then
  • the different themed departments/"chapters" was a fun concept, with each floor having its own theme and "floormaster"
    • omg yttd ref where ?!?!

Ann is an amazing horror RPG with a compelling story and characters that make you want to see it through to the end. the game is challenging but not exhausting, and it was super fun collecting all of the achievements + getting all of the endings.

i cannot recommend this game to you enough, it is a wonderful experience with a cohesive plot and resolution (true ending). the graphics are great, from pixels to cutscenes, it allows a far more immersive experience than most RPG maker games i've played previously.

• overall rating : 9/10
