This is one of the most memorable games I played growing up. I was so excited to see that it is available for Mac and could easily be played. The game is super light weight, boots up instantly and works flawlessly. Its exactly as I remeber it and is a great blast from the past.

Great fun for the first 20hrs or so, after that, it can get a bit repetitive.

Game has potential to be great once they make the UI and controls more user friendly.

Straight up basic old school game.
Fun when you have time to kill or bored at work.

I punti di forza di questo gioco (pubblicato da Alawar, realizzato da Logris Games e rilasciato nel 2014) sono la trama molto intrigante, la buona musica e la grande qualità di immagini e "cutscenes". Contiene diverse scene con oggetti nascosti, quasi tutte "progressive": occorre trovare un oggetto e usarlo per trovare il successivo. Si tratta di un meccanismo intelligente, che richiede attenzione per la risoluzione delle scene. Dal punto di vista della giocabilità è un game abbastanza semplice anche a livello di mini-giochi, e conferma tutte le indicazioni elencate nella pagina di presentazione. Buona la guida strategica. Segnalo che alcuni oggetti collezionabili sono nascosti anche nelle "pop screens": attenti quindi a non perderli! La mappa per viaggiare velocemente tra le scene non è sempre precisa, e in un mini-gioco si dovrebbero ruotare gli elementi con il "tasto destro", che nei mouse Mac non esiste. Utilizzate al momento giusto le abilità paranormali del ragazzo al centro della storia poi quelle della ragazza, divertitevi a trovare i collezionabili (presenti anche nel capitolo bonus, molto bello)... e individuate il logo Logris ben nascosto in alcuni punti particolari! E' solo in inglese (peccato!), ma è comunque sufficientemente giocabile in questa lingua. Consiglio decisamente questo gioco anche se, ovviamente, per noi italiani vale la pena acquistarlo se è a un prezzo super-scontato.

[The strengths of this game (published by Alawar, made by Logris Games and released in 2014) are the very intriguing plot, good music and great image quality and "cutscenes". Contains several scenes with hidden objects, almost all "progressive": you need to find an object and use it to find the next one. This is a clever mechanism that requires attention for scenes resolution. From the point of view of gameplay it is a fairly simple game even at the level of mini-games, and confirms all the indications listed on the presentation page. Good strategic guidance. I would point out that some collectable objects are also hidden in "pop screens", so be careful not to lose them! The map for fast travel between the scenes is not always accurate, and in a mini-game you should rotate the elements with the "right mouse button" that does not exist in Mac Mice. Use at the right moment the paranormal skills of the boy in the middle of the story then the girl's, have fun finding the collectors (also present in the bonus chapter, very nice) ... and identify the Logris logo well hidden in some particular points! It is only in English (pity!) But it is still playable enough in this language. I strongly recommend this game though, of course, for us Italians is worth buying if it is at a super-discounted price.]

Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story is the sequel to A Normal Lost Phone. Gameplay-wise nothing did change. You find a lost smartphone, search through its data, read SMS and mails and solve little code-cracking-puzzles. The puzzles are a little bit more difficult than in the first game, but still not very hard. Again the most important part of the game is the story, which you unfold by reading all the texts on the smartphone. I liked it.

Not huge amount of content, but for the price I had fun for all I spent on this. There is bit of replayability, because you can choose order you play missions and finishing one mission makes other missions harder.
