    Despite Anna’s Quest not necessarily bringing anything new to the point and click genre, it fully makes up for it in the story, acting, and characterization. You’ll definitely enjoy playing through this title if you like dark fairy tales or stories from the Brothers Grimm. It’s a bittersweet tale of a coming of age story as Anna goes from a timid young girl to a confident and strong young lady. Her journey isn’t easy, but it sure is worth experiencing.

    Anna’s Quest manages to take the small child in scary world theme and keep it fresh and entertaining: great characters, excellent voice acting, and an intriguing story make this adventure game a worthy Switch purchase.

    Anna’s Quest first came out on PC in 2015, but its appeal hasn’t lessened over the years, because beneath a fairy tale there is a mature story about fate and determinism. [Issue#254, p.63]

    Certainly an adventure game with a bit of a dark and humorous turn on classic fairy tale tropes isn’t bad to work with as a base, and I thinkCertainly an adventure game with a bit of a dark and humorous turn on classic fairy tale tropes isn’t bad to work with as a base, and I think that’s the greatest strength of Anna’s Quest. The problem is, especially in light of so many outstanding point-and-click style indie adventures being out there, outside of the story and characters too many elements simply aren’t as polished or fresh. The interface can be a bit cumbersome amongst its brethren, some of its puzzles perhaps a bit too drawn out, and just lacking in that sort of magic touch that brings the game together in a way that inspires exuberance when describing it. Perhaps earlier in the Switch lifespan it could have been more of a force, but at this stage it just falls a bit flat.
