    A sweet little game with a touching narrative of a little girl writing in her journal, dealing with loss, that is probably also best enjoyed by children in a similar situation. As a grown man, I found the journal bits to be much more creative and unique than the "proper" platforming sections that represent the fictional story the girl is writing.

As a grown man, I found the journal bits to be much more creative and unique than the "proper" platforming sections that represent the fictional story the girl is writing. The latter are just really basic and boring if you have any experience with 2D platformers whatsoever (I literally fell asleep during one of them), and they are unfortunately muuuuch longer than the journal bits, which drags this whole game down.… Expand

    The story of Lost Words manages to be both sad and beautiful at the same time. Having been written in part by Rhianna Pratchett (daughter of Sir Terry Pratchett), the game excels at taking you through the grieving process in a safe and comfortable way that may help prepare some for when they inevitably have to experience it for themselves. I highly recommend taking the time to check out this moving game, but please bring your tissues.

    Lost Words: Beyond the Page tells an highly emotional story, with good storytelling, sound and dialogues, but counter-balances it with a repetitive and too simplistic gameplay.

    I felt very identified with Izzie. There are situations that the game manages to express perfectly.
