Anna's 'Extended Version' is the definitive way of experiencing this game. It still has a lot of clunk, and it's clear that the development team behind it had more vision than talent. But it's tolerable and, once you're accustomed to all the jank, it can be a scary good time.

The same cannot be said for the original version of Anna. It was generous of Kalypso to package the original version of Anna with the Extended Edition, but my god, the original version does not hold up.

Here are some things that the original version of Anna and its Extended Edition have in common:
- Clunky controls
- Beautiful sounding music
- A spooky atmosphere
- ...they take place within a sawmill, I guess?

And that's it. Now here are the things that are exclusive to this version of the game that makes it the worst possible way of experiencing this game:

- A narrative that lacks any clarity whatsoever and relies far too much on being ambiguous than anything else
- Scares that don't feel handcrafted in any capacity and only serve to be an added gimmick for marketing material
- A frustrating interface that makes puzzle solving a chore
- Puzzles that feel so esoteric in design that it's genuinely baffling that they thought anyone would figure them out without either banging their head against a wall or resorting to a walkthrough
- Small, unrefined spaces that fail to make the most of the game's supernatural setting
- A lack of any challenge to be found

If you're really that curious, maybe check this out? But otherwise, stick with the Extended Edition if you're looking to play this.
