Lacuna is a great game, but not in the way you'd expect from the tags or the fact that the main character is a detective. It is technically a detective game but if I had to rank Lacuna among all the detective/narrative puzzler games that I have ever played, it'd probably be at the bottom of that list in terms of gameplay. The detective puzzles are not that challenging , and there isn't much else to the gameplay other than walking around and talking to people with RPG-style dialogue choices. And yet, as someone who bought this game expecting a detective mystery, I still enjoyed it a lot! Lacuna is, first and foremost, an interactive thriller with polished pixel-art visuals and a great soundtrack . The story keeps you hooked from start to end, with new twists and turns every hour or so. Even though the climax of the story is a bit predictable from the start (if you are paying attention), it doesn't make the story any less interesting to follow. The world-building throughout the game makes the story feel realistic and makes every character feel alive with their own motives. And that includes you as well - the game does a great job of making every decision you made feel like it mattered. As for the graphics, this is one of the most polished and technically impressive pixel-art games I've ever seen. You'd hardly think it was made by an indie studio. Fluid animations, dynamic lighting, reflections and other stuff that most pixel-art games don't have. The soundtrack also perfectly fits the narrative at all times and succeeds incredibly well at creating a thriller-movie-like atmosphere for the game. Overall, a great game that deserves more attention. Looking forward to the upcoming game from this developer that seems more focussed on the detective/mystery genre.

Really hard to recommend for one specific reason. I encountered a game-breaking bug on literally my last decision in the game, choosing one way, the one I wanted, soft-locked the game. So after some googling and restarts, I had no choice but to choose the other option. I'm okay with the ending I got still, but it didn't feel authentic to my entire play-through up to that point and how I felt about the decisions I was making. Its unlikely you'll end up in the same spot, only one person on the internet has mentioned it so I think I'm just unlucky. So outside of all that, its a great game. I got it on sale, it seemed pretty boring but I was in a detective mood. After a few months of never booting it, I finished it in two sittings. It's hard on you, both intellectually and morally, the score, voice-overs, and art are all good enough to carry the story. The game is years old and I'm doubt the devs would care about fixing anything at this point, but in case you read this I kept a copy of my save file and would be happy to send it to you so you could investigate.

A well done game to spend 1-2 evenings. If You want a detective story before bed - this is a good choice.
