Description


The free demo version of Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure is available on GOG.COM. You can download it here
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.


Here’s the deal
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.

No takebacks
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.

How far will you go?
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?

Hungry for Point & Click Adventure?
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

PC Invasionby Blake Grundman
8.5/10
It doesn't take a gumshoe to tell that Lacuna is a stellar, Noir-inspired adventure, that is absolutely worth investigating further. Other than a few quality of life tweaks, it's hard to find much wrong with this narrative-driven hunt and click. Be sure not to let this suspect slip through your fingers.

Lacuna is not very long, but it has really high replay value and it checks the correct boxes of an adventure game. But what makes Lacuna really memorable are the atmosphere and the fact that it focuses on consequences rather than morality.

8.5/10
With excellent writing, great art and fun puzzles, Lacuna is a must-play for fans of the noir detective genre, and makes a compelling case for non-fans to take a look, though it is held back by an unfortunate smoking mechanism and some heavy handed metaphors.

A short yet intense 2d narrative game

An indie game with a pixel art aesthetics, an engaging detective story and a cyberpunk setting worth trying

Lovely detective game...

...with loads of moral choices, intriguing characters, a smart soundtrack, and an endearing retro look. One of the few games I'd replay to see how differently events are going to unfold. Don't miss out on this gem!
