Forgotton Anne takes place in a fictional world called Forgotten Lands, a magical parallel universe where lost objects — 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.[7] 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.[8]
