About

Anna's Quest is a 2015 graphic adventure game developed by Krams Design and published by Daedalic Entertainment. The game follows the title character Anna as she attempts to escape an evil witch and save her dying grandfather. Taking on the role of Anna, the player solves puzzles, collects items, and interacts with non-player characters.

›Story

In a land far, far away lives a brave young girl called Anna. She lives a peaceful life in the forest with her grandfather, until a mysterious illness befalls him. And so Anna ventures forth to find a cure for him, but this world is a much more dangerous and bizarre place than she'd thought: putting her journey to a sudden end, the witch Winfriede kidnaps Anna to use her for an experiment.

Winfriede's experiment is a success – Anna develops telekinetic powers, but this is also where the witch’s schemes are foiled: with the help of Ben, a boy who has been turned into a teddy bear, and new powers she can barely control, Anna manages to escape from her cell.

Together with Ben and her new impressive ability Anna is off for an adventure in the haunting world of Grimm's fairy-tales and European folklore. Witches, ghosts, trolls and cursed princesses: no matter if you have to save them or outsmart them – they all play their part in Anna's quest to find a cure for her grandfather.

And since there's no rest for the wicked, Winfriede breathes down Anna's neck, eager to reclaim her successful experiment at any cost.

Story

The story is about a young girl called Anna. She lives in a dark forest with her grandfather whom she likes to call "grandpa". However, one night, while she seeks help for her ill and bedridden grandpa, Anna is suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious woman. The woman traps her in a room at the top of a tower, in which she is experimented on and develops psychokinesis.

Soon after, she meets Ben, an amnesiac boy who was turned into a teddy bear by the woman, who Ben refers to as a witch. Together they find a way to escape the tower and trap the witch inside it. The two arrive at the city of Wiederhorn, where there is a wizard (later revealed to be a sorceress) that may be able to help cure Anna's grandfather. In the city, they encounter numerous obstacles, including another witch who eats children, a ghost who roams a river, and being chased by royal guards.

Development

Anna's Quest was developed by Daedalic Entertainment, previously responsible for games such as Deponia.
