    The game is wonderful! I haven't even played it yet, I just looked at a complete gameplay, however, it made me want to have it in my hand. Play! It's a crazy and fun adventure.

    Absolutely amazing! I’m
    Constantly smiling while playing it. Art style great. Animations great. Puzzles great. And the dialogue is just perfection. Best dialogue of any game!
    The puzzles are actually quite challenging. The perfect game for anyone that love animation and cute things.

    Excellent game. The animations are AWESOME. You really think you're watching a cartoon. Story is cute and funny.
    Game, overall, is really great. You'll definitely have fun playing it. And anyone can play it (my 6ys old daughter loved it also).
    Hope they'll make another game like this one. Good job Happy Juice

    "Lost in Play is one of my gaming highlights of 2022. It’s a beautiful, charming, and cleverly designed point and click puzzle adventure game with puzzles that rarely verge on the side of frustrating. This is going to be an experience I’ll remember for years to come, and I really hope it gets recognised as one of the best indie releases of the year. It deserves it.

    The only issue with Lost in Play is that the developers are going to have a hard time topping it with their next release!"

It delivers the interactive cartoon which they promised, playing this game is really like watching animated shows from your childhood.

    The story and the immersive factor elevate the gaming experience making each episode fun to play. The mechanics of the game does not easily make you get bored as it requires you to explore each location, and not just pointing items that you see on the screen.

    The puzzles are challenging, though I do not recommend using the hint all the time as it may ruin your gaming experience. The only downside that I see is that there is no level of replayability, if you finished a puzzle or the whole story, it no longer excites you to finish it again as you can solve it very easily. It’s a one-stop charm that can only captivate players when playing the game for the first time.

    All in all, the game is highly recommended for those who seek wholesome delight or just wanted a good time and a story to enjoy.    … Expand

    Lost in Play is an aptly titled point-and-click game that's wrapped nicely with gorgeous animations and a lovely story. The puzzles have just the right amount of difficulty without any dialogue, and the game is well-paced at just under 4 hours. It perfectly captures the beauty and wonder of imagination, and reminds us all that when you've got a childlike heart, anything is possible.

    There are some fairly fetch quests involved, but also a range of interesting mini-games and environmental puzzles – everything meshes up incredibly well. Add in the beautiful hand drawn visuals and animation and you have a title that is an almost essential experience for all ages.
