Great World and Fresh Approach
Lacuna: Prologue basically serves as a demo to the full Lacuna game offering you the initial case and a look at the game’s lore and world. It is at it’s core a point and click puzzle game but it does a great job at not following the same patterns and trends of that genre. You have a lot of dialogue choices to make and the puzzle aspect of it is more about keeping an eye on what people say to give you clues than it is about combining inventory items into a nonsensical device. It was this that made me enjoy it more than I otherwise would have. That and the world is fantastic. The story; characters; lore; all have a great depth to them and you can tell there is a lot of effort put into back story. The music was also well done. The graphics I won’t delve into much, if you don’t mind pixel art games you will find them fine but if you don’t you will hate them. Lacuna doesn’t really seem all that different looking to other pixel art games but at the same time it’s difficult to put a lot of detail into this art style. I really liked the main screen where you can view all of the sub menus such as conversation logs; clues; sheets; and objectives. It was well laid out and while there is tutorials to get used to it I found they weren’t needed as it was very easy to navigate. If I could have added one feature it would have been a map. While the levels weren’t huge it would have been nice to have a better indication of where to go from time to time. I will also say that the sheet system for puzzles was interesting. It made puzzles into multiple choice tests. You look at the info you have accumulated to see what the correct answers are and choose accordingly. This seemed like a fresh approach to me. My only concern was that with the murder case you investigate that I didn’t feel like I was very sure of my answer based on the info given. I was correct but more concrete evidence would have been nice. The voice acting was decent when it was used.
