Here’s A Launch Trailer For The Creepy Indie Horror Game ‘Anna’, Available Now
I’ve glimpsed bits and pieces of Anna, and from what I’ve seen it looks like a genuinely eerie game. It starts off outside an abandoned sawmill set in the gorgeous Italian countryside, but you’ll soon find out that inside that sawmill is nothing but pure horror. It’s unique, and it has a very distinct visual style that helps it stand apart from most other horror games. I’m a big fan of the soundtrack, which comes with the game, along with photos of the real-world sawmill that was used as inspiration for the game’s setting. More after the jump, including a haunting launch trailer.
Like any good survival horror game, Anna offers plenty of scares and mind-bending puzzles. There are also three different endings for those of you brave enough to go at it a few more times after your first playthrough. Check out the trailer below.
If this looks like your cup of tea and you own a PC (the Mac version is still on the way), I recommend dropping $9.99 to get yourself a copy.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
