About
Another cigarette tumbles into the abyss.
The sun is slowly coming up, glistening in the sea of buildings below.
I look up at the stars one last time before they disappear.
They don't provide any guidance. They don't give a f*ck.
I have to make this decision on my own, and very soon.
Problem is, I don't know how. I've never been able to figure out why I do what I do. Not really.
No more time to think. I have to go.
You are Neil Conrad, CDI agent. Awoken by the news of a murder, you rush into a case that will soon turn your life and the whole solar system upside down. Ask questions, collect evidence, and put the pieces together until the ugly truth reveals itself... or not.
The story branches and ends based on your actions. There's no going back. Sure, you can rush your way to the end – if you don't mind paying the price. Play your cards right, and you might make it out alive.
Some questions don't have a right answer. Will you sell out a friend to protect your family? Will you endanger a loved one in exchange for public safety? Will you keep the peace or reveal the horrible, world-shattering truth?
While the classics were great in their time, Lacuna does away with the baggage of many adventure game tropes:
Pointing & clicking Platformer movement controls (WASD / controller)
Selecting all dialog options one by one anyway Non-repeating conversations and choices
Inventory management and counter-intuitive puzzles Immersive, story-driven mysteries
Pixel hunting Optional outlines on anything interactable
Story grinds to a halt at every puzzle can always be driven forward
"x will remember this" Real choices and multiple endings

Love solving scooby doo mysteries
much better than the follow-up between horizons, I really enjoyed this one
探案+剧情选择玩法的叙事游戏,讲了一个警探被卷入星球间政治阴谋的故事,沉浸感不错,音乐挺对我胃口,中配旁白也可以
8/10
故事很有趣 推理不算难 像素风也很戳我 中文配音大大滴好评非常地道 值得推荐
好玩
很精致的一款游戏
Cooles Game, bin kein Pixel Fan, aber spiele ab und zu gerne mal eins. Für unter 2 Euro gekauft, was soll ich sagen, kleines filmreifes Indiegame aus Deutschland, starkes Voice-Over in den Zwischensequenzen - weswegen vermutlich viele das Spiel gekauft haben. Bevor ich mich mit einer Tüte Chips vor Netflix eingrabe, erlebe ich lieber tolle Stories am Rechner. Macht die paar Stunden einfach Bock zu spielen, das ist die Hauptsache.
Fun game mechanics and an intriguing plot. The world felt full and fun to explore
Beautiful pixel art, the game is gorgeous. Music too. I got a meh ending but will probably play again to discover more, really liked this game, the characters, the story. Puzzles / detective work seem very easy at first, but apparently I missed something so don't do like I did and stay FOCUSED I encountered only one bug/glitch, but it was a big one.
