    It's a good thing to know that this game is a game you play one shot (from 2 to 4 hours depending on your spy skills). Not too hard, it is quite like an interactive novel. But once you've finished it, you won't learn anything else by playing again.
    It is quite immersive, you hold your gamepad like if it was a phone, and go finding some clues by reading texts or things like that.

    I really appreciated that game. Not only because of the gameplay, but also because of the story.
    That's a really cheap and nice experience.    … Expand

    Simple and short game, but with a very interesting and creative narrative, emotional story and educational background. I've recommended this game to many friends and it completely worth to play.

    I got into this game in a way I wasn't expecting. It was hard to describe to other people what it was like to play - you're going through a stranger's phone, finding ways to unlock apps and their secret features to reveal a character unseen who has mysteriously left their phone behind.

    I found it exhilarating in a morally pure way of sneaking through someone's private messages, and I found it touching as I began to understand and recognize the situation.

    I really love this game.    … Expand

    Emotional, alluring, and compelling from start to finish, A Normal Lost Phone is a phenomenal visual novel that takes full advantage of Nintendo Switch in a creative way, while telling a story with a genuinely powerful message. The investigative elements are gripping and require a sincere attention to detail, and the soundtrack is appropriately atmospheric for mobile phone sleuthing.

    I can’t understate how important it is that this game exists and the awareness that it will raise.

    There are not many games in this world that I can say actually made me grow as a person, but A Normal Lost Phone is definitely one of those titles.
