    A touching graphic adventure in which, thanks to our hungry curiosity, we must discover the mystery surrounding Sam, whose phone we have found.

    A Normal Lost Phone is worth the investment. The game is short and not perfect, but it's definitely an original and interesting one.

    I cannot emphasise enough how captivating A Normal Lost Phone is.
  4. As heartbreaking as it is in places, A Normal Lost Phone is, ultimately, a story of optimism. And stories with positive messages are absolutely vital to the community this game addresses. It deserves to be played.

    A Normal Lost Phone is an intimate, affecting discussion of LGBTQ+ issues—one which does not shy away from candidness—all in a handy hour-long experience.

    A Normal Lost Phone may not be the longest or most mechanically dense game out there, but I enjoyed every moment I spent with it. It's writing and story are so well presented that your phone snooping feels incredibly real and personal. It's a level of intimacy that most other video games completely fail to capture, which just goes to show how special A Normal Lost Phone is.

    A Normal Lost Phone is thoughtfully designed, leveraging voyeurism, curiosity, responsibility, and compassion to tell a strong, character-driven story unlocked through satisfying puzzle-solving.

    It's one of those game hard to label, unexpected and unique, that won't be considered an actual game by many. It's a game like Her Story, that plays with storytelling and that's able to surprise you in ways you didn't expect.

    I applaud Accidental Queens for its intent to give players access to a perspective they may never know otherwise. It’s a coming-of-age story that deserves to be told. But the execution of how a player learns about Sam’s secret feels like a violation that continues to sour the experience for me. At the very least, it’s a reminder: always lock your phone.
