Ann

RongRong why did you make this free. I should've atleast pay to play this masterpiece

Ann is a short RPG Maker horror game, taking around 2 hours to finish. The pixel art is charming and the cutscenes are a nice surprise for this kind of game, even if they're over quickly. The story is the best part, slowly connecting little hints into a bigger picture, and it ends up feeling more sad and intriguing than actually scary, which works in its favor. There are a few endings and secrets to find, and the puzzles are easy without being boring. The big downside is the chase scenes, which show up in pretty much every chapter and get annoying fast. The controls feel clunky, timing has to be near perfect, and one small mistake means instant death and a reload. This wouldn't be such a problem if it happened once, but having it repeat so often breaks the mood the game otherwise builds so well, especially since dying resets the music and you keep hearing the same intro seconds of songs over and over. Still, for a couple hours (and for the fact it's free), "Ann" delivers a decent story, nice presentation and a soundtrack worth hearing properly, even if the chase sequences make that harder than it should be.
