In "Lost But Found," players take on the role of an airport officer responsible for returning lost items to their rightful owners. The game combines elements of job simulation and hidden object-finding, with players managing and organizing items on a top-down table. While being honest is expected, the temptation to steal and sell expensive items on the black market adds a layer of intrigue to this role-playing experience. The goal is to ensure every passenger receives their lost item, either by finding it or taking their contact information for future communication.
