Anna Extended Edition improves the basic title from every point of view. The game is one of the best Horror Adventure available on the market.
Anna Extended Edition has brand new accessible puzzles, a larger area to explore and stronger narrative material. Its so much richer compared to the standard edition that even those who have already finished the original game will find many good reasons for a second play through.

From the start this game had hooked me. The soundtrack has to be the best I've heard in any game, only rivaling with Journey. The light colors it chose would mislead anybody into letting their guard down and immerse themselves into the world of Anna, only to find themselves thrust into a nightmare after they open the door to her house.
I myself have not yet completed the game, I'm so close but it is a challenge, I'll give it that. However I'm far enough in to give my fair share. I realize most of the negative and mixed reviews come from PC and Mac users, and all I can say is that this game had not been made for either of those platforms. I have it for the PS3 and it works wonderfully for me. Even with the nightmarish realm you enter, the developers have added small bits of beauty, keeping you awe struck throughout your adventure. The game has beautiful twists with this eerie atmosphere, and the cut scenes being time based keep you on your feet.
It is sadly a quite underrated game, one that I would suggest you should play for yourself on a platform it would work best with.

Excellent point and click Horror game.
The atmosphere in this game is powerful and has different variations in color and shadows.
Graphics are beautiful and you get really immersed in Anna´s world.
The narrative sets many secrets that you have to figure out with analytical methods, in order to tie the loose ends.
Very scary in places with the supernatural moments and the intense gloom of the house.
A lot of content (8 different endings) and some secret achievements.
Overall, buy it if you like Point and Click Horror adventures with a clear focus in slow burning fear and not annoying jump scares.

Anna: Extended Edition represents the natural maturation of Dreampainters debut title. Italian developers corrected the most bitter points of their previous work in order to create a deep and complete game, an homage at the same time to the never-dying adventure game genre and to the most deep and sick horror.
In this Extended Edition Dreampainters has given a more professional look to Anna. Now the Italian adventure is also less cryptic and more understandable, although many plot points are still unclear and some puzzles must be solved again with a lot of trial & error.
The Extended Edition of Anna is a definite improvement over the original, though there’s still nothing that really jumps out for horror fans (except for the now-dangerous poltergeists).
Anna is a great game. Beautiful graphics, and a blood-tingling story line. This game will have you playing it for hours. The combination of horror, puzzles, and adventure makes the gameplay great. The scary moments will stay on your mind and keep you on your toes. Theres also 8 different endings to the game depending on what you do and how you do it, so this is one of those games that make you want to play over and over again. I highly recommend giving this game a try.

Anna Extended Edition
And unsettling Adventure
In Anna you play a character who decides to visit a home they constantly see in their dreams in hopes of finding his love Anna.. or at least what happened to her
And wouldn’t you know, the house is a bit haunted.
This is a point and click horror adventure game…
And by point and click game I mean monkey island style in a first person 3d setting…
Its all about picking up items, finding items and figuring out how they all go together…
It literally took me 40 minutes just to get inside the house because these combinations are so obscure..
Every solution seemingly needs a chain of events rather than being self contained…
So I decided to just restart the game and play with a guide…
much less frustrating experience that way…. Im not an add a toaster to the water kind of guy..
if you are.. youre going to really enjoy this game.. even more than I ultimately did
it takes place in 1 house and took me 2 hours to complete with a guide…
As you explore the house youll come across books and items that give a back story.. you can even combine different intuitions to get the full picture of what happened and why you keep dreaming of this house..
There are no jump scares here.. the horror is more psychological…
the game does a great job with its sounds and placements of items to make the journey to the end as disturbing and unsettling as possible…
You can even choose to just leave any time you want…
The game has 8 endings and you can get to one of them in literally less than 5 minutes…
But I wanted to full story so I stuck it out…
And it ended up being a great horror experience with a compelling story..
One I figured out before it ended..
but even at the end I couldn’t believe that it was exactly as I thought…
Anna is definitely worth experiencing for horror fans as well as adventure fans…
But its definitely one of those games you should play with a guide handy
Because the puzzles triggers and combination of items even with a guide made no sense most of the time.
I Give Anna Extended Edition
a 6.5/10

A nice point and click for folks who want to play something scary, but not too scary. There’s an overall sense of unease plus some spooky noises and hallucinations, but you aren’t going to scream out loud and fall out of your chair or anything. The puzzles generally make sense and the map is small enough that going back and forth doesn’t feel tedious. There are 8 different endings depending on the actions you take so it keeps you guessing and going back to learn more about the story. And yes, the game does force you to register before playing, but it only requires an email address and I haven’t received any spam so I'm fine with it.

I was trying hard to like this game, or at least trying to actually play it to see what it is. But that task is just impossible, because this game is an horrible technical mess!
First you have to spent an hour just to familiarize yourself with the clunky controls and the horrible mouse sensibility. After that you think your problems are gone, but they're not... you found a lot of things you can do with your collected objects, but very soon you realize they don't make any sense, so you start to search and try every bizarre combination to try to solve simple puzzles and this take long, much more long than your patience.
The worst is... every new room i entered i got struggle with a buggy blinking environment lights that makes me literally close my eyes to not being blind. Sometimes it stop in a few seconds, sometimes don't, and i found me running or shaking the mouse trying to stop the madness. Sometimes i had to go to options and click every button, then it stops.
It is really a shame that game being published this way, because i really like the mystery mood, but it's really impossible to play. In the Steam forums you see any decent answer either by Dreampainters or Kalypso Media. You just don't get any support, unless a false statement that is a Unity problem. You buy a broken game and it's your own problem, they'll not fix it.
Also, you have to make a Kalypso account and login in a launcher every time you start the game, even with no online resources. This publisher is one of the worst i ever seen, they don't have any respect or care with customers. I'll skip any title under their label forever.

The linux version of this game is full of bugs. Screens with flash lighting, too much time to complete the in game events and with the last update the game cursor is always in clock mode and the game is unplayable
The story is very nice and the puzzles is very difficult and smart but with all of this bugs you cannot play the game
