Play Overview
Lost In Play (2022) is a feel-good adventure about a brother and sister exploring their dreams. Lost in their imagination, Toto and Gal must solve puzzles to journey back home. It's a point-and-click adventure inspired in style by Gravity Falls, Hilda, and Over the Garden Wall. The play combines point-and-click item collecting and puzzle solving along with neat minigames. It stands out for the quality of characters, puzzles and storytelling.
Play involves guiding the brother and sister through the world, interacting with objects, talking to people and collecting useful items. You soon discover not all is as it seems. You explore the enchanted forest of a horned beast, start a rebellion in a goblin village, and help a team of frogs free a sword from a stone. There's the usual point-and-click collection, inventory management and use of objects to progress through the world. But there are also more classic puzzles to solve. These grow from simple lock challenges to 30 fully-fledged mini-games. Play cards with goblins, build a dragon and teach a sheep how to fly.
The result is an Alice in Wonderland world to adventure in with hearty sibling rivalry and teamwork. It's a lovely story that engages players as much through interactions and characters as with cut scenes. Ideal to play with all the family on a Sunday afternoon.
