About Another Lost Phone

In Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story players are tasked to find out what happened to Laura, a young woman who has apparently vanished without a trace. Stumbling on her lost phone, they need to discover what happened to her by uncovering crucial pieces of information and hidden passwords scattered among texts, apps, photo gallery and social networks. Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story explores different aspects of Laura’s troubled life, touching upon social themes usually not discussed in games, and should be instantly recognisable to fans of the original A Normal Lost Phone. The game features a completely new story, including new puzzles and new mysteries to solve. The game is coming to Steam, iOS and Android in late Summer 2017.

Quotes

based on Game Jam Version

  • “[…] the concept, coupled with the convincing recreation of a mobile operating system, really won everyone over […] ”
    – James Gilmour, pocketgamer.co.uk
  • “It shares some of the feeling of Her Story, albeit featuring today’s technology and with less of a focus on the crime angle. But it has the same small moments of revelation, all of which come together to form a story in its own neat yet meandering way.”
    – Brendan Caldwell, rockpapershotgun.com
