Plot

Go Home Annie is set in the SCP Foundation universe, in which the player takes the role of Annie, a low-level employee of SCP Foundation. The organization is tasked with securing and containing paranormal entities, tasking the player to solve various puzzles and navigating the environment. [2] Annie initially finds herself in front of an abandoned house, acquires a camcorder allowing her to see objects from a parallel universe. [3] [4]

Development and release

The game was announced in 2022, when both a demo and a trailer were released, and entered beta by the end of 2023. [5] Misfit Village was actively looking for a publisher during the early stages of development, but eventually opted for a Lithuanian-based publishing house Nordcurrent Labs. In total, the development of the game lasted five years. [6]

Go Home Annie was initially slated for release on December 3, 2024 [7] but was subsequently postponed to December 10, for PC. [8] The development of the game was partially funded by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, receiving a grant of 75,000 kuna (€10,000) in 2021. [3] [9] [10]

Reception

A review published on the Greek editions of PCMag and IGN made positive remarks, giving it 8.0 out of 10. [11] [12] Softpedia was also positive in its review, praising its story and atmosphere, but criticized the stealth sequences and puzzles, giving it 8.5 out of 10. [13]
