A Normal Lost Phone reviews

This Game is a real Gem and I can recommend it to anyone who appreciates narrative Games and is not too bad To spend the Playing time mainly reading text and Bagging together an exciting story. ---------------------------------------Graphics---------------------------------------Graphically, the Game mimics a smartphone display in a simple Drawing Look, evoking The detail-reduced drawing style of Life is Strange. I Find fit and proper. I liked visually. ---------------------------------------Sound---------------------------------------Also harmoniously imitated, the Sounds and Soundscape evoke a successful Illusion of the Device. Controlling the Music Library allows you to access a coherent indie soundtrack and some instrumental Pieces. I also liked it and fits in well with the Mood of the Game---------------------------------------Gameplay---------------------------------------The Gameplay, like the cell phone illusion, is about the different Surface and Apps of the Device Navigate. Read Text Messages, Scour emails or snoop through dating apps. Not everything is directly accessible. For E-mails you need WI-FI, Accounts are protected with Passwords, pictures want to be downloaded first. Here the Game comes with some small Puzzles, so Hints or Solutions to the Password Problem are hidden in the Texts and Messages and want to be decrypted. They are not real Headnuts, but they support the interactive Gameplay and are a good Temptation to Read. They also encourage the Spirit to become more familiar with the Contents of the Featured story. Many Cogs and Messages that are separated from each other often refer to each other and so it is worth looking at who, on what Occasion and especially on what Days messages have been dropped. Finally, the many Fragments are used to put together a coherent Narrative with many Details, which is complemented by Access to more And more areas of the Smartphone. ---------------------------------------Story---------------------------------------Since this is the big linchpin of the Game, I want to forgo explicit Details and Spoilers, apart from the fact that the Focus is on a found mobile Phone and the Question of who This Sam is who owns it. I find them successful and, in Conjunction with, working out the step by step that the Developers impose on the Player, a special Experience emerges, even for those who can't do so much with the pure Focus of the Story. Starting from the first Messages to the last email, the Action follows a superbly elaborated arc of tension and Motivation. In fact, the Game deals with a subject, which is somewhat difficult in terms of nature, that-and this must be emphasized very positively-is presented in a sufficiently multi-perspective manner, without too much otherwise familiar with similar Productions, with the Sledgehammer Moralage-parenting Doors. Even if the Story Takes out certain Strongly black and white Drawn freedoms in the Design of the problematic environment, perhaps also has to take out for plot convinience. I was very well entertained for the few Euros that the game costs and can therefore recommend it safely to those who Value good Narration and do not find it a pity when the Gameplay is reduced to Reading and some Knobelies, on the Contrary Enjoy working against the Solution like Detectives. A great Pleasure.
