Plot

[edit]

Forgotton Anne takes place between the real world and a fictional world called Forgotten Lands, a magical parallel universe where lost objects, called forgotlings — 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.[13] 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.[14] The rebellion is led by Fig, a dress mannequin with a face on their chest, and their ally Bulb, a cloaked light bulb with a top hat. Enforcers are equipped with a device called an Arca, which can drain the energy (Anima) of the forgotlings.[15]
