Lost in Play Review (corbo)
Excellent Point n' Click.
(Well, nearly pure a Pn'C: there are a couple of actions I didn't manage to achieve with a mouse, thus resorting to a keyboard. And, more importantly, an early mini-game calls for a modicum of reflexes.)
The puzzles are great, intuitive, on the easy side. They are solved with intent and observation, as the clues are always nearby.
In rare fashion, the mini-games are great as well, mixing puzzle and strategy (except for the arcade one mentioned above.)
For a dose of negativity, the game is still glitchy 5 months after release: I experienced a couple of crashes and as many freezes, all during loading screens, between chapters. And since it's 1 slot-only auto-save (a staple of amateur UI,) it can lead to replaying a chapter multiple times until it finally works as intended. At least it wasn't game-breaking.
No flaws other than those two in my book.
Pictures and sound are lovely, but what shines even more is the animation. It's fluid in both storytelling and gameplay. That aspect of the interface is particularly intuitive and smooth.
Let's mention the humour as well: while I giggled quite a bit throughout, the chicken escape episode made me laugh on every interaction.
Buy it now before it's sold out.
