Description

A Normal Lost Phone is a game about exploring the intimacy of an unknown person whose phone was found by the player.

The game takes the shape of a narrative investigation: you have to search the phone’s text messages, pictures and applications, in order to learn about its former owner. Through this phone, you uncover Sam’s life, friends, family and relationships, until the evening when they turn 18 and mysteriously disappear.

Features

- An immersive and intuitive way of introducing the narrative through a fake smartphone interface.

- A game that bridges the gap between reality and fiction by letting players act as themselves. The game asks a simple question: if you close the app but still think about the game, have you truly stopped playing?

- A relatable story that helps build empathy with the characters, allowing to explore difficult topics.

What's New in Version 1.4

Adapted the game to modern iPhone and iPad screens and fixed some minor visual glitches.

don’t download the game it’s boring

I think the game was boring and even though the art style was okay, most of the characters looked terrible and the designs were bad. I think Sam was annoying and if he had more relationships with people instead of all his texts being happy birthday it would’ve been slightly better. The art style wasn’t terrible but the character designs were AWFUL

Très touchant

Quelle belle façon de raconter une histoire. On se sent très près des personnages. Merci pour cette expérience unique.

2022-04-02

Beautiful

The game design is amazing, and the way the story unfurls as you solve each puzzle makes the experience feel authentic and rewarding. The score is also incredible, a perfect match for the tone of the game. Absolutely gorgeous story, with a satisfying end.

2021-06-16

I like this

I like this game a lot. The musics r nice and the puzzles are not too chanllenging but still very fun to figure out. Glad theres some good games about trans community.

2021-06-12

Sad but good

I liked the game a lot. At first it was kinda hard to get into because of trying to find the passwords, but after I got it the story came together and it’s a lot like my life at first. It was a heartfelt story and I really enjoyed it.

2021-04-08

I’m crying

It was such a heart warming story love it

2020-10-23

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY

This is the first review I’ve ever wrote because i usually don’t care enough to do it but this game is beautiful. Great story, really nice platform and very informative on important and relevant issues in today’s society! 🏳️‍🌈✨💕

2020-07-01

Awesome!!!

I LOVE this game it is so beautiful and powerful, not to mention the music is really amazing!

2020-06-28

AMAZING

I usually don’t leave reviews but this game was perfect! Not only did it cover the right topics, it covered these topics well. Great game!

2020-03-24

Incredible!!

I don’t normally leave reviews but I absolutely haaaad to for this one. There were some moments I anticipated and other parts I didn’t. My breath was held in anticipation the further into the phone I delved. There’s a level of depth and profundity regarding the human spirit woven between the lines of this game. If I could give it more that 5 stars I would. I’m sad it’s over and I hope the developers work on something like this again!!!

2020-02-21

Amazing!

I love this game so much! Gonna regret staying up so late tomorrow but I just HAD to figure out how the story ended! The story is amazing but a little difficult to piece together but other than that it’s amazing!!!

2020-01-14

Amazing

I just found out about this game and holy. It is such a fun game. I love the mystery and solving everything, especially the story. It was fantastic. I really recommend this game to anyone looking for a good little mystery.

2019-11-09

Superbe

Tres beau jeu, histoire touchante.

2 heures à peu près de plaisir <3

Amplement comblé !!! Vaut son prix 100%

A Powerful, Emotional and Encouraging Story

This game was great! It told an amazing story! The puzzles were ok but the journey was what this was really all about. Not what I expected it to be, but it ended up being even better than I thought it would be. Great job!

2019-08-18

Good story, OK game

The story is good and presented to the player in a good pace. As for the gameplay, the puzzles are at the best OK. I would still recommend this as a short interesting game.

2019-06-01

Only meh, and short

This game was okay, terrible and not a good ending, along with it only took me an hour to finish. Waste of 5 bucks!!

2019-04-21

Cher

C’est vraiment un des meilleurs jeux que j’ai joué malgré tout sa coûte vraiment cher pour si peut... je trouve le jeux vraiment court... j’aurais aimé diverse fin au jeux...

2019-02-22

Not great

There was some effort put into the game but it was just boring. Puzzles were too hard so I had to search them up. Just not worth playing

2019-01-04

Just not worth it

I’m really into these kid if games, so before I bought it I read the reviews to see if it was good so I bought it. Honestly I’m disappointed, I got so bored that I didn’t even bother to find the answers myself. I just searched them up. In my opinion I wouldn’t waste my money on this game! Just not worth it

2018-12-13

It was good but expensive

The story was amazing, the music was good, and the puzzles were brainstorming but not too hard to solve. I am planning on buying the next one, “another lost phone” since I enjoyed it so much. However, even thought I enjoyed it, the story was a bit too short and the ending was pretty expectable. I liked the game but it probably wasn’t worth a $4.

2018-08-17

Absolutely normal

And yet extraordinary at the same time. Eye opening.

2018-05-24

Nice but short

Very nice narrative/puzzle game, but expensive but the playtime. Took me around 2h to complete it, but great game nonetheless!

2018-04-04

Meh

Good message, boring game, why would someone whos sooo secretive keep their phone unlocked? Makes no sense....

2018-03-03

Lovely

This was a really lovely, creative and clever game. You legitimately feel clever when you figure out how to advance and unlock more of the story bit by bit. Really loved it. 💖

2018-01-18

Décevant

Jeux beaucoup trop court pour la somme demandé (environ 1h et même moins pour l’histoire). Une histoire vide sans péripétie. Je ne conseille pas l’achat de se jeu.

2017-12-26

Really nice game

Nice game, short and sweet. It's a new type of game for me, it was interesting feeling like you are snooping in someone's phone.

2017-10-20

Great to pass time

It was fun and a great time killer... wish there had been more to the story. Doesn’t take long to finish, but definitely worth checking out

2017-09-27

This game would be nothing without good writing

Luckily, the writing is excellent! Really great game and isea

2017-09-20

Superbement ecrit

J'ai decouvert ce jeu grace à ZQSD et c est une réussite, intelligent dans son concept, sa mecanique et surtout son écriture. Bravo!

2017-07-14

VERY cool concept... a little short

Very cool concept. Clever framing of the discovery of a story and identity of a person, who themselves is having an identity crisis of their own. And very sensitive way to make us discover a world that's too often misunderstood.

On the other hand, the game is somewhat short! Finished it in 2 days! Wish there was a sequel with entirely new characters and an entirely new phone to discover. :)

2017-07-11

Hoooollyyyy Booooiii

This game is so damn good! Playing this on your phone feels like you've found a real lost phone! Writing & suspense are so good. I only have 3 complaints:

1. I'm Canadian so I didn't know that cities have zipcodes

2. Didn't know what format dates were in (MMdd? ddMMYY??)

3. You can't play any of the music :( probably an issue with porting to ios, since the songs titles were included in the credits

Anyway, buy this game. Worth.

2017-07-03

Wish there was more too it…

I'm giving this a 3-star rating because the story has a good message and features characters that we don't see enough of in interactive media, but the game is threadbare. I can't really call this a game or interactive fiction as the interaction is minimal. The player is on a fixed path and can't make choices, except the choice to not see the story through, but where's the adventure in that?

2017-07-02

Amazing!

This game was possibly one of the best mobile app games I've played all year! It really presses down on issues with acceptance and loving who you really are. Thank you for creating this game.

2017-05-05

Application géniale

Très belle histoire. Concept génial. Pas trop difficile de trouver les repères lirsque tu suit bien l'histoire. Juste un peu nul que l'application ne soit pas gratuite puisque ce n'est pas le genre de jeu où on y passe beaucoup de temps et/ ou il y a une fin alternative. L'application est assez chère mais comme dirait un ami, le prix n'est rien comparé à l'expérience que tu as vécu en y jouant.

2017-02-03

Great game!

Made me think of Gone Home and that's a good thing!

2017-02-01

Great game!

A really clever story-driven game with some fun puzzles. You develop an amazing connection to the Sam

2017-01-30

Great game but way to short

Great game with nice story, but the content of the game is way to short. I finish it within a hour including being stuck long time at one of the password

2017-01-28

Beautiful subtle story

A game about empathy :)
