Story Makes Quirks Worth It
A Normal Lost Phone is a difficult game to categorize. It isn’t an adventure game, a visual novel, or even a puzzle game outright. It has shades of all of them though. It certainly wasn’t what I was expecting but that’s not meant as a negative statement. You get thrown right into the phone interface. You have just found this phone and can choose to go into different menus and apps. By doing this you can figure out what is required to progress. That’s the puzzle aspect. You not only have to find the info required but also have to find out what info that is even needed. Nothing is spelled out point blank and I like that. You are rewarded for curuoisity and reading through the various emails, text messages, etc. Every bit of info you find may be what you need to get to the next. It may sound complex or difficult but it really isn’t. Most of the puzzles are pretty straight forward. There was one that gave me trouble but in hindsight it was me overthinking it. The story is really the payoff. It is well done and worth the effort. I played A Normal Lost Phone on Linux. It never crashed on me. It did have a couple issues. It opens on the wrong monitor. Even if I set it to open on my main monitor in the preference file it always opened on my right monitor and had to be manually moved over. There were also no options in game to adjust things such as audio volume. The soundtrack was great except for it was very loud and I had to make sure to adjust my system volume before launching the game. I would have used Alt-Tab but it didn’t work with this game which was another issue. It does save every time you exit the game but it would have been nice to have a manual save option. That being said the game can be finished in an hour so it’s not the biggest deal. I paid $2.99 USD for the game and that feels like a fair value for what you get.
