April 2025
How refreshing: Lacuna is a somewhat unique investigative adventure because it actually allows players to fail without resulting in a death- or game over-screen. You play as an investigator trying to crack a case by looking for clues and interviewing suspects and then putting it all together. While it never gets too opaque, you will need to stretch those deduction muscles a bit. You can (and will) f*** up if you don't pay attention. But the game is robust enough to allow for blaming the innocent, you muppet, and lets you carry on. Another thing I thoroughly enjoyed: Lacuna is a decent political sci-fi thriller with a twist you will probably see a mile coming - but only because it's actually believable. Unlike so many other modern adventures I played whose narratives often completely fall apart at the end. The world-building and characterization is pretty good. Lacuna tackles themes of colonialism, capitalism, class struggle and marginalization that could hardly feel any more topical in this day and age.

This is a cool game with a good concept. Not its fault I couldn't get into it.

A really awesome narrative mystery! It takes the base of a point-and-click, changes the ingredients, adds some new flavor, and mix it all together to make a gorgeous game! I do think what shines the most is the narrative and the choices your character makes in the game. The choices make the game even more immersive because it makes you pay attention to everything going on around you. I wouldn't come in looking for a more difficult mystery game since most of the questions you try to answer are a bit straightforward and doesn't need that much deduction or lateral thinking, but it's definitely a start of a really interesting gameplay concept. I also really enjoy the world-building that is accompanied with great pixel art and moody music. All of the ingredients work well together and created a wonderful dish that I greatly enjoyed. Can't wait to try more games by this developer.

Classic hard boiled fiction, some nice twists and turns. A fun game, but seeing all of the endings will take you a while, especially since you can't skip cutscenes or save and quit.
