While exploring a museum in Egypt, Annabel stumbles upon an ancient curse that claims an innocent victim every ten years, and she may be next. Relive the struggle of an ancient Egyptian princess that fought against all odds to be with the man she loved. Only your wits can overcome the devious puzzles and magical traps set by her enemies. Could Annabel be the reincarnation of that ancient princess, still threatened by a curse that has chased her for millennia?

This is only the second HOG I've seen that uses 3-D polygons instead of flat drawings. Unlike "Elementary My Dear Majesty", this one does not let you view a scene from different angles, so each scene ends up playing like a 2-D HOG.

This is only the second HOG I've seen that uses 3-D polygons instead of flat drawings. Unlike "Elementary My Dear Majesty", this one does not let you view a scene from different angles, so each scene ends up playing like a 2-D HOG. However, the scenes themselves and moving between them are much more immersive, like a modern FPS, and each task requires you to move between multiple scenes, so it doesn't feel like you're staring at a painting all day.
Most of the voice acting is even more stiff and emotionless than the animation, so that it sounds like the actors are just reading the script out loud instead of performing the character voices. The one playing "Thoth" was better acted than the rest, and a bit amusing. The writers should have done better research, though since in Egyptian mythology, Thoth was supposed to be tall, slender, birdlike and male, while this character was more like Taweret, being short, chubby, busty and female.
Overall, the game was kind of short, but fun to play. Hopefully this new style will keep improving in the future. Show less

Possibly the best game by Bigfish. Is this a new frontier in HO games? The third dimension gives to the game a new depth (in any sense) making the player feel like he/she is really there.
Perhaps it's a bit short and too easy, but it is also true that it's the first 3D game of this kind. Please give us more!

Anything ancient Egypt is super interesting to me especially to have the historical and artistic backdrop brought by JetDogs Studios was an unexpected treat.

Very much miss this gaming style. Filled with spectacular artwork and an interesting, enjoyable plot, playing the game straight through was never a question. Usually get bored and go back and forth between games, however, Annabel held my interest straightaway.
Although Nefertiti was Pharaoh Akhenaton's--usually referred to as the Heretic Pharaoh--true bride, not going to squabble over historical trivia. I suppose the name Annabel was more present day that Nefertiti.
The artwork is spectacular, hands down! The story/plot was very interesting and very enjoyable. Will play this game again. Pleased to go back into my catalogue of games and find this hidden gem. Do try JetDog Studios other games as well. Enjoy! -Mama Mia- Show less

I liked point and click adventures. This game had plenty to do and a nice storyline. No hand holding. That made me happy,
Although, I got a bit dizzy speeding around in circles looking for things, I was able to just close my eyes for a couple seconds until the room stopped moving.

I was looking for something different and Big Fish had a spotlight on this developer, so I took a chance on the game based on the reviews. I wasn't disappointed. The last mini game took a while to complete. I backed out then came back in and the colored patterned changed. The second pattern was a bit easier to complete.
I like Egyptian themed games and this one was challenging enough even though the graphics were flat and old school.
Try the demo and judge for yourself. Show less

I can't believe how well this adventure game survived the test of time!
I just finished playing the game on my Windows 10 PC without any glitch of any kind.
The graphics, considering the tools/technology available at the time, represent the best that era could offer, and are still STUNNING to this day, with an incredible attention to detail (take the time to scout every room!)

Other reviewers have well described the gameplay; let me just say that the story is broken down into a half-dozen scenes (each made up of a few "rooms"). The puzzle games are not particularly difficult, but you need to pay attention to succeed: there is NO SKIP BUTTON, so you cannot progress until you pass.
I will play this adventure again in a couple years: the truly terrible voice "acting" of the main character is offset by the brilliant voice acting of the drunken ship's captain.
Play the demo for 15-20 minutes and you'll get a good sense of whether or not you'll enjoy the game: it is representative of how you'll be spending the 4-5 hours this game offers. Show less

Annabel, the very first game I purchased from BFG long ago, was, for me, an initiation to casual games, a refreshing change from the 3D hard core [not pornographic..!!! LOL] and more mature FPS games I was used to. I played it with great pleasure then, and replayed it recently with equal satisfaction.

Annabel, the very first game I purchased from BFG long ago, was, for me, an initiation to casual games, a refreshing change from the 3D hard core [not pornographic..!!! LOL] and more mature FPS games I was used to. I played it with great pleasure then, and replayed it recently with equal satisfaction.
Annabel is a search-and-find adventure, not a HOG. The items you need are scattered in different locations. There is plenty of tasks to accomplish and objects to find and combine,
You navigate from locale to locale using the arrow keys or your mouse, you can zoom in on a particular spot, and scroll to have the full screenshot.
Set in Ancient Egypt, the storyline is simple but effective.
There is nothing truly difficult in this game, although it will often challenge your wits. But if you think outside the box, use logic and common sense, as well as creativity, you will get to the end without much trouble. This, by the way, applies to any adventure game that is purely an adventure.
The artwork is quite good, the music nice, and the minigames/puzzles interesting yet not all that difficult. Since they all are classics, one could deplore their lack of innovation, but Annabel is not a new release. What was the norm when it came out might now be considered outdated as later games offer variants of classics or novelties as well as a few genuinely diabolical puzzles, sometimes for the better, but not always.
It is true that no puzzle can be skipped, but as I said, they are not tricky; a bit of patience and common sense are what it takes to solve them... and they all are solvable ! One good feature: they can be replayed via the main menu....just for the sake of pleasure or as a mental exercise.
Annabel is good fun to play. Due to its relative simplicity, it is also the perfect game to introduce players to adventure games, as a first step before tackling much tougher ones like Nancy Drew, the Art of Murder series, Syberia or any Large File Game.
