Introduction:
In a world where discarded objects are dubbed "forgotlings" and assigned new jobs in their new society until they can pass to the Ether, Anne is the Enforcer, who makes certain that everyone toes the line. One night, a series of rebel attacks threatens the Forgotten Lands and it's up to Anne to figure out the mystery and stop the ongoing threats to the completion of the Ether Bridge.
Inspired by Studio Ghibli, Forgotton Anne is a puzzle/platforming adventure game. While the platforming mechanics aren't perfect, it's still pretty solid and you can't actually die. Trophy-wise, the list is fairly simple but there are two game-spanning trophies to watch out for – Pacifist and Empathic . Everything else can be cleaned up in stage select, which is unlocked upon completing the game.
I encourage you to play the game blind, while keeping Pacifist and Empathic in mind but I have written a walkthrough to help you out if you want to get everything in a single run; find it here: LINK.
Stage Select
Once you've cleared the game, if you choose "Storylines" from the main menu, you will see the option to press on your cleared save file to enter the Ether Bridge. This is the game's stage select. When you power up the bridge, you will notice two blue dots – the outer one is like an "Act" select (there are three options) and the inner one is like a “Scene” select.
If you run all the way right past the Ether Bridge (or from the starting point upon loading the bridge, just go left), you will enter a wrecked ship. Here you can look at stage maps to see what collectibles you're missing, listen to the game's soundtrack and interact with stuff. If you talk to Grab the treasure chest here after unlocking True Collector, he will give you a token needed to access the jukebox.
Walkthrough:
Step 1: Play through the game without distilling any forgotlings, while generally being nice/diplomatic and gathering collectibles
There are two major game-spanning trophies you need to watch out for: Pacifist and Empathic . These are tied pretty heavily to each other, as distilling forgotlings will heavily impact Empathic . See both of those trophies for more information. Other than not distilling forgotlings, try to make Anne a nice/diplomatic person, as that can have an effect on Empathic .
Midway through the game, open up your diary and flip through the entries to unlock an easy but missable trophy. There are two different endings to this game – choose whichever one you want. Neither is tied to any trophy. Try to gather collectibles when you come across them but don't worry too much if you don't, as you will be able to access scene select once you complete the game.
By the end of this step, you will have unlocked:
Old Friends
Empathic
Pacifist
Remember Anne
...and likely:
Plot Thickens
Rhythmic
Diarist
Tower Hawk
Stair Master
...and if you got all collectibles:
Explorer
Grab It!
True Collector
Step 2: Clean up
This may not be necessary if you kept an eye on the trophy list, or followed my walkthrough. Once you've cleared the game, choose “Storylines” from the Main Menu and press on your cleared save file to access the Ether Bridge, which serves as the stage select. See note about that in the Introduction and see each trophy for more information.
By the end of this step, you will have unlocked:
