Lost Words: Beyond the Page

Wow... I did not expect this game would basically be gym for my eyes. They sweated so much! My nose even joined in and ran all over the place!! My desk is full of facial gym towels (tissues)!!! Jokes aside. This game was AMAZING. This story was soo good. I will say trigger warning for anyone who has lost someone and looking to avoid it maybe wait for a time when you're ok with thinking about it because I can assure you this game will dig those feeling out. I know people that choose to avoid particular topics for their own peace so I wanted to provide a warning. Otherwise do yourself a favor and BUY this game. Like any good story I will definitely be coming back to this one from time to time. Thanks to the dev for such a beautiful story.

A story about a child name Izzy as she writes her experiences and thoughts in her journal where half of the game takes place. The other half takes place in a fantasy story penned by Izzy as it starts off as a passion project to realize her dreams of being a writer. The interactions between the 2 mediums can be felt as the game progresses on and her ever changing experiences and emotions, as seen in her journal, starts to show and affect her fantasy story as well. Clearly aimed at children or younger audiences in matters of dealing with emotions and heavy topics like grief, acceptance and moving on, it also does so in a way that it isn't too depressing but injects fun and levity to make it more palatable to the majority. The game is fun and simple which makes it easy to pick up and the story does suck you in. One may argue that it has a cliche plot and patterns but in the context of the game, it was made by a child so if you are expecting Game of Thrones levels of writing, then you are clearly playing the wrong game. The simplicity is what makes the weaving of emotions work in my opinion. For the achievements, most are pretty straight forward and none are missable as there is a chapter select when you finish the game. The only semi tedious part is the collection achievement since you have to replay the entire chapter where you missed them. Thankfully, the found collectibles don't show up anymore so you only need to look for the missed ones. The chapters aren't even that long, Plus the game wasn't meant to be breezed through, you need to take your time and digest what is happening with Izzy and her experiences. A game definitely worth the price but as always, sales and bundles are the way to go if available. Enjoy! XD

I love indie games especially ones with a unique art style and/or game mechanics. Lost Words tells the story of a young girl as she struggles to deal with the event of her beloved grandmother ending up in hospital. The story is told two ways. Firstly through her journal entries in which she talks about her day as an emotional outlet. They're interactive and has your character using words as platforms and solving puzzles on the pages. The story is also told through a story she writes to not only distract her but she hopes to read it to her grandmother. This part of the game once again has platform and puzzle elements as your character runs through her fictional world using words to alter the landscape. It was a fun game and anyone looking for a platform puzzler with a unique art style and game mechanics should give it go.

Achei interessante, foi meu primeiro jogo que alterna o tipo de gameplay
