About

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.

    • “In its current state, Lost but Found lacks incentive to keep gameplay engaging beyond the first hour, with no clear progression path.”

    91 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game is buggy and it became unplayable for me after I got the bigger table update.”
    • “It may be okay after some updates but the game was launched on Steam as if it was a full release and not an early access, so it should be a bit more polished and less buggy than it is now.”

  • music
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players expressing a desire for more narrative elements and character development. While some appreciate the visual storytelling and easter eggs, the overall consensus is that the game feels repetitive and lacks a compelling plot, leaving players without a strong motivation to continue. There is hope for future updates to enhance the story and gameplay experience, but currently, it feels underdeveloped.

    • “The attention to detail in the visuals and storytelling shines in this mode, making it an excellent choice for players who enjoy a slower, more meditative gameplay experience.”
    • “If you're someone who values exploration, storytelling, or just a peaceful gaming session, chill mode in 'Lost but Found' is a must-try.”
    • “It would also be cool to have a small story for the main character and side characters, but even without that, it was a really enjoyable experience.”
    • “It feels very early access (even though it's not been put out as early access) with basically no story, but I do appreciate the Easter eggs in it to Jinx from League of Legends, Tom Hanks in Terminal, and others I'm sure I haven't picked up on.”
    • “In the game overall, there is not that much to do. Upgrades are bought quite quickly, and there is no story or progression feeling with the different 'special' characters (like security or the beggar).”
    • “What I would recommend to the devs is adding some sort of plot or even just some way to break up the endless monotony of the game.”

Overall, the humor adds a lighthearted touch, even in moments of unexpected stress during gameplay.

    • “The vibrant, cartoonish art style is charming and fits the game’s humorous tone.”
    • “I found it funny that the game incentivizes you to be a bad security guard and person (stealing lost items to sell on the black market, getting a court order to not have to support your family, etc.) up until the point that you're throwing luggage and laptops in the garbage to try to get more stickers with barely any consequences.”
    • “I just think it's really funny that an otherwise chill game had us freak out like that.”

The humorous mention of an "emotional support spatula" highlights the game's ability to evoke genuine feelings and create memorable moments.

  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
