A visit to the D’Ayas Valley in the Italian Alps may sound like a dream vacation, but it's the source of nightmares in the newly-released horror adventure Anna.

Anna sends its protagonist to an abandoned sawmill in Valle d’Aosta to discover the meaning behind his recurring nightmares.  There he'll discover puzzles to solve and a "dark presence" awaiting him, but "his greatest enemy will be his mind. Can he bear the weight of the truth?"

A real-time 3D game by Italian indie developer Dreampainters, Anna's storyline is based on real local folklore.  As you encounter mysterious forces, the state of the protagonist's mental health will cause locations to change and different secrets to be revealed, leading to one of three possible endings.

Anna is available for download now for 7.99€ or $9.99 at various download portals such as Zodiac and Desura.
