    Cuento orientado a todo tipo de público pero en especial a los más pequeños para ayudarles a gestionar esos sentimientos que nos asedian cuando perdemos a un ser querido.

    In Lost Words, you (literally) write the story as you venture through a fantasy world in the eyes of a young girl. The gameplay is hard to describe and is best experienced first-hand, but it is designed in a similar light to a game like Trine.

    Lost Words is a game about words and stories created by Rhianna Pratchett. Key to success is based on strong storytelling, compelling characters and easy-going gameplay without any too difficult puzzles and riddles to solve. Get yourself ready to be sad.

    Are words magical? In a way, certainly. They can capture moments in time, or give birth to entire fantastical worlds. Lost Words: Beyond the Page is able to capture this sensation through skillful writing, lovely artwork, and a powerful sense of creativity. It is an affecting exploration of a child trying to create while in the midst of trauma.

    And while being a child, or especially inclined to children’s fiction, might be required to fully appreciate its wide-eyed story, its beautiful design and fine animation can be admired by all ages.
