Forgotton Anne

Forgotton Anne is a 2D cinematic platformer where you play as an ango, a guardian of the bridge between worlds. Its hand-drawn animation and blend of puzzle-solving with narrative choices create a unique, emotional experience.

The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
