April 2025

I was very reluctant to buy this game at first. It's a platformer, and I hate platformers. It's shorter than I would normally like. But it was on a good sale and a friend loved it, so I decided to go for it. And I'm glad I did! The platforming in this game is very easy. Even easier than the puzzles. And the puzzles aren't hard. They are both just a vehicle to serve the Story. Or rather, two stories, one inside the other. The first one is the diary of a girl named Izzy, where the words themselves serve as the platforms to walk on. The other is the tale she writes, in which the heroine uses word magic to remove the obstacles on her path. At first, I was almost puzzled - "What am I doing, playing a kids' game at my age?" But at the start of the third chapter, something happens in Izzy's life, that completely changes Everything. Including my opinion of Lost Words... Anyone who has ever had a similar experience, can vouch that the description of the evolving emotional state of both protagonists (those of the "inner" and "outer" stories), is Entirely accurate. You might want to have a box of tissues handy. I was thinking about how to describe Lost Words: Beyond the Page, but I'm lost for words... Actually, there is one word I have to describe it - Masterpiece.

April 2025

A very touching tale of grief told from the perspective of someone having to experience the grieving process for the first time and how it effects her life and creative endeavors.

"Lost Words: Beyond the Page" truly surprised me! I expected much less, but the game captivated me from the very beginning. The creative gameplay keeps you entertained throughout and maintains a constant flow without any slow moments. The story touches on the theme of grief in a deeply moving way. It is narrative and emotional without ever drifting into cliché territory. It unfolds in an authentic and touching manner. The two worlds – the journal with its beautiful watercolor illustrations and the detailed fantasy world – are visually breathtaking and showcase the attention to detail. Both art styles are unique and play a significant role in enhancing the overall atmosphere.

Such a beautifully crafted game with a touching story. The voice acting is AMAZING and makes you really feel the characters' emotions. The art is lovely and the word puzzles are super simple and fun. If you enjoy emotional, story driven short games (or if you're looking for one to try) this one is a must play. PS: I love Lump.

I'm a writer whose grandma is currently on end-of-life care. I cried. A lot. But I probably needed this game more than I realised. Thanks game devs. <3
