Lost

LOST

LOST is a 2.5D adventure game that features a strong narrative, interactive dialogue, and original artwork. We hope that LOST makes people empathize with refugees and people who have experienced extreme loss.

Imagine a catastrophic event that forces you, your family, and your friends to flee your home and everything you knew. Imagine seeking help from a neighboring country that ruthlessly stop your attempt to enter their territory. LOST game seeks to explore the topics of empathy, emotions after a tragic loss, and what it means to be a refugee. We choose the name LOST because of its dual meaning. It can mean not knowing one's whereabouts but it can also denote something that has been taken away or cannot be recovered. LOST encompasses elements of both. The game begins in chapter 1 in the fictional country of Xanatos, greek for the god of death. Xanatos is being invaded by what appears to be poisoned creatures. 

Our protagonist Lieutenant Juni searches for Captain Diana to assemble a brigade to stop these intruders. They meet on the roof of a nearby building and begin the attack. This initiates a tower defense level where you will shoot cannons at the enemy and prevent them from getting to your wall. This Across the sea, we get to know the story of the “intruders” who are in fact not intruders at all but fleeing a supernatural meteor disaster and are seeking shelter from a poisonous gas emitting from the meteors. This is the country of Intisar. 

Our protagonist in this level is now a young boy named Yuri who has lost his whole family in this catastrophic event. Yuri explores his home talking to people who have been infected by the meteor showers. He ventures into the city where he will try to collect items from his past and dodge large spiders that have mutated from the poison gas. During this sequence, Yuri will talk to a few people along the way who will lead him to the end where he will meet two special people and a boat to take him to Xanatos.
