Plot

Forgotton Anne takes place between the real world and a fictional world called Forgotten Lands, a magical parallel universe where lost objects, called forgotlings — everything from missing socks to discarded lamps — come to life, hoping one day that they might be remembered again and returned to the real world. The player controls Anne, an Enforcer who keeps order in the Forgotten Lands, who sets out to extinguish a rebellion that could prevent her master, Bonku, and herself from returning to the human world. The rebellion is led by Fig, a dress mannequin with a face on their chest, and their ally Bulb, a cloaked light bulb with a top hat. Enforcers are equipped with a device called an Arca, which can drain the energy of the forgotlings.
