About Annie and the Art Gallery


Annie and the Art Gallery is a short, free horror RPG that aims to capture the feel from classic RPGMaker horror games. You play as Annie, a girl who's finally got a ticket to the new art exhibit. When she gets there, however, she's dragged into a bizarre conflict that takes her through the museum's haunted basement. Help Annie solve puzzles, figure out who to trust, and find out the truth of what happened there years before.

Some random and possibly cool features:

  • Unique hand-drawn art style.
  • Save at any time.
  • Ghost girl(s).
  • Animated cutscenes.
  • Traps, sudden deaths, and chase sequences.
  • Multiple difficulty options.
  • A non-silent protagonist in an RPGMaker horror game.
  • Maybe a plot twist.

Note from the developer:


Thank you for playing my game! I am a solo developer based in the New England region, and it really means a lot that you've read this far! Annie and the Art Gallery is a love letter to classic RPGMaker horror hits such as Witch’s House and Ib. Inspiration was also drawn from more contemporary RPGMaker hits such as Oneshot and Omori.

It's like [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1511270/Ann/]Ann[/url], but not as good as [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1511270/Ann/]Ann[/url]. Like, literally, the inspirations from [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1511270/Ann/]Ann[/url] are even in the name of this game itself ([url=store.steampowered.com/app/1511270/Ann/]Ann[/url]ie and the Art Gallery). Some could even call this an [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1511270/Ann/]Ann[/url] rip-off. But, just because this game isn't as good as [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1511270/Ann/]Ann[/url], doesn't mean it's bad. I remember having a good time with it. And I like the artstyle, with the heavy lines. P.S.: I haven't mentioned [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1511270/Ann/]Ann[/url] enough, so here's one more mention.

I started playing this game in August 2022. I played Chapter 1, and thought, "Yeah... that was okay. I've seen a bunch of games likes it before, though. It seems kind of boring." I didn't touch the game again after that until August of the current year I'm writing this, 2026. I was looking through my library of games for something to play because I know I have a lot of games I've started but not finished. I noticed that this one had been lying idle in my library for a while, so I watched a Youtube video to remind myself of what happened in Chapter 1 (it had been four years, so I remembered very little about the game) and picked up where I left off. As of writing this I have just finished the game, and my goodness am I so glad I came back to it because contrary to my initial impression of it, this game is NOT boring. It does resemble a lot of other games, but does many interesting things to differentiate itself from its clear inspirations. The plot is very well thought out, and the story the game tells is meaningful and compelling, reaching a very emotional climax. The dialogue is very well written, doing the plot justice, and in general. the story of this game is better than that o…

Annie and the Art Gallery is a free-to-play horror RPG developed and published by jswessler that successfully blends classic RPGMaker inspiration with its own emotional identity. The adventure begins with an innocent visit to a highly anticipated art exhibition, where Annie expects nothing more than an enjoyable afternoon surrounded by creative works. Instead, a mysterious incident traps her beneath the museum, forcing her into a frightening labyrinth filled with supernatural dangers, cryptic puzzles, and unsettling secrets. What starts as a simple survival story gradually transforms into a deeper mystery that explores the tragic history hidden within the gallery's walls. The game's narrative steadily unfolds through exploration and environmental storytelling, rewarding players who take the time to examine every detail rather than rushing toward the ending. The museum itself serves as one of the game's strongest features. Every room carries a unique atmosphere, shifting from elegant exhibition halls to eerie underground corridors where every shadow seems capable of concealing another threat. The pixel art presentation is complemented by detailed character portraits and attractive …

Nice indie game. A bit short, lots of things left in mystery, but inriguing.

Looks like Ann, acts like Ann, but it's not Ann. It's a really nice game. No jumpscares, just the thrilling fear of the unknown that only psychological terror can offer. You should be done with it in a single afternoon.
Recommended Sep 3, 2026
Definitely a really good game. The chases could use some improvements, since they're buns, but other than that, it's a fun game, hence why i've played it for 5 hours LOL. I also loved the artstyle, it's simple, but that's what makes it good.
