Anna's Quest is a very good Point&Click Adventure made by Daedalic Entertainment. It took me about 11 hours to complete the story and another 2 hour to complete the rest of the achievements. Story You are following Anna who lives with her Grandpa. But sadly he got sick and you must find a cure. On your journey you will have to solve riddles and puzzles to achieve your goal. The story is very good and has some interesting twists. I wished there would be multiple endings. With only one ending I had not much interest in replaying it a second time. There are many side references to other Daedalic-Games and fairytales from the Brothers Grimm. Design and Sound I liked the art. Very well drawn and there are fun and interesting details you can spot in every scenes. Only weird thing is the missing eyeballs of Anna. It was kind of creepy at the beginning but I got used to it after minutes. Sadly this game comes only with english audio but with several subtitles. Although I am not a native speaker I enjoy all my game in english. But if the developer is a german company I always switch to german audio because that is the language it has developed with. Nonetheless the english audio is very very good. The speaker made a great job. As a german speaker you may have some funny moments, when it comes to the pronunciation of some german words like "weisse frauen, hans, wunderhorn, etc." Gameplay and Controls Main input device is the mouse. Well that's why it is called "Point&Click". Some elements can be controlled by your keyboard, like opening the inventory or showing interactive elements. But you don't have to use the keyboard at all. I played it completely with my mouse only. Interactions are divided into use, look, open inventory, dialogs and special power. For replay aspects you can skip every dialog by clicking with your mouse to skip the current sentence or hit escape on your keyboard to skip the conversation topic. Achievements This game is very easy to 100%. There are several story based achievements you will unlock during your normal play-through. After finishing this you can replay every chapter to get the funny "side objectives". If you explore everything you may get some of them in your first play-through. Overall I give this title a solid 9/10. I would give it a 10 if it would come with German audio and multiple endings.

Don't be fooled by this game's premise. On the surface, this might just look like another game for kids, with all the teddy bears, young children and cartoonish artstyle, but when one looks at it more closely, the mature and serius nature of the game's themes becomes clear. Not to spoil anything, but Anna's Quest features a lot of adult themes, such as death, deception. despair, torture and what the absence of love can do to a person (you even fight the devil in this one, and there is a very nice sequence at the end where you play as the villain), though there is plentry of humor introduced to balance it all out (there is also clearly an inspiration from germanic folklore throughout the game). Even if you haven't tried any game from this genre (point and click adventure game, you doofus), you might want to give this one a try. Daedalic Entertainment and Telltale have been revitalizing this genre for years, for those of you who thought this genre was dead. While not action heavy or requiring advanced skills to complete (unless you count using your brain as such), Anna's Quest is an excellent game to play when looking for an excellent story in a beautiful world, but don't want to do anything other than solve puzzles.

Anna's Quest is a simple adventure game, but this simplicity hides a surprisingly deep story with questions about family, hate, and the strength of ties that bind us. All told through the eyes of an innocent little girl tossed into a familiar-looking, yet interesting world. I highly recommend this game.

Daelalic are establishing themselves as the point and click experts to watch with yet another title in their long line of excellent adventure games. We used to have Sierra and Lucas Arts to rely on in the past. And after a long period of darkness in the genre, the genre was revived by software developers such as Daedalic, and it now hopefully here to stay. This fully voiced, fairy tale point and click adventure is not always for kids. But as media these days keeps proving to us, adults love stories just as much as children do. The story in this game is excellently woven. Great plot, very nicely put together with the little puzzles and sequences in this adventure. Anna combines the look we've come to expect from the developer after playing Deponia, with a hint of the darkness we've enjoyed in Edna and Harvey. Creating a new atmosphere we've not had in any of their previous games. The voice acting is excellent, along with the soundtrack set up the plot and the story perfectly. I absolutely loved every minute spent playing this game. Pros: - Beautiful visuals - Great Voicing and Soundtrack - Fully Voiced - Great plot and story line - Intuitive point and click (non hairy mechanics) Cons: - Suffers from the usual point and click puzzle defects (there's only one or 2 ways to solve a situation and they may make no sense, so you might have to look up some solutions in guides) - not for all ages, even though children may want to play this game because it looks cartoony, if you're a parent I suggest you try it first, or be present when they play it. Altogether, an excellent game, and I was very happy to add it to my now growing collection of Daedalic classics.

As for a 2D game in 2015, this is a really fun game. From a well designed menu to a really balanced game in terms of difficulty. It's not easy, of course, but it ain't hard either. The game has a pretty interesting story which could use some more work, but overall, it's nice. For some reason, after a while of playing, it can get annoying. On the other side, I have to mention some pretty bad graphics and "environment" which could use some details. Overall a game that is, if you like 2D adventures, deserves a try.
