The game is set in an abandoned sawmill in Valle d’Aosta, more specifically in Val d’Ayas, between Champoluc and Périasc. These locations, known above all as a skiing destination, reveal their more mysterious side in the various legends associated with them. Anna’s sawmill really exists and is accurately reconstructed here thanks to the painstaking work of the Dreampainters team: aerial views, photo features and snippets of folklore and crime news stories associated with the locations give the player a rich interactive experience of the place. The sawmill is where the entire game takes place: the location is reconstructed in rich detail and the player can interact with the indoor and outdoor spaces in lots of different ways.

Adventure
Puzzles that are difficult to solve and multiple endings characterise this 3D graphic adventure. The user takes control of a university professor with amnesia, who wakes up in an abandoned sawmill with memories of just this crumbling building (which appeared to him in a dream) and a name, Anna. He makes his way through the game rebuilding his memory and discovering some of the unsettling legends associated with the place.
