If Found...

A really wholesome stylish gay lil 2 hour narrative game from an Irish team. If anyone’s played Florence, it reminded me a lot of that. The gameplay is pretty much just interacting with the art and narrative using the touch screen of your phone, and the story was really lovely albeit a bit too heavy at times. Bittersweet relationships with home, connecting with all the other gay little misfits, and finding freedom in queerness. It all hit close to home and I cried like a bebé. Anywho its really pretty game and if you ever wanna emotionally wring yourself out like a sponge I’d definitely recommend it.

… but very beautiful. The story is really touching and human. Visually and musically it’s striking. I did get a bit tired of the main mechanic to move the story forward (wiping the screen clean with your finger), since my finger would literally get tired. There was a side plot that I didn’t really get why it was important to the main plot, but maybe I just missed something there.

It’s rlly cute and nice but rlly not worth the buy you sit there reading erasing and trying to figure out what ur going to erase next and it’s good for the first 3 minutes but then it just drags and u have to do it the whole time. I will say that the drawings and animations of whatever is really pretty.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I have had with graphic storytelling. Interactive and heartbreaking. This story changed me.

You have to buy it to try it. It’s a book, not a game. With pictures. For $5. Save the regret and don’t buy it.

Based on some online reviews I was hoping for an interesting game. This is neither interesting nor a game. It’s a poorly animated graphic novel with an annoying UI. I rarely delete games I paid for, and even more rarely write reviews...this app was frustrating enough that I did both.

The masses give this app 5 stars because it has intersectional characters who spit on western values, and the entire thing is just so blasé at this point. No longer are narratives like this the counter culture, they are mainstream and there is nothing interesting or edgy about them, this is just another brick in the wall of the woke culture that dominates our screens. Objectively it gets old fast, the swiping around on screen to progress the story is annoying and redundant

Honest & beautiful

"If found" was nominated for "games for impact" award this year so I was intrigued. Unfortunatelly at it's core it appeared to be just a generic teenage drama. Transgender theme was for advertisement only and never explored below surface level. You can swap the main character with any cis-gendered teenage girl or boy and the story would make the same amount of sense. Gameplay mechanics of erasing words was interesting for 5 minutes, but then got boring. It could have had real significance like healing character traumas or branching the story. Instead it's just a realy tedios way to move forward in a linear fashion. Finally a few words about art: visually "If found" is just a collection of doodles. It's not in the same league as Gris and is rather forgettable. The same case being with music and sound effects.

This is not a game..... this is an interactive novel thta you will turn the page. Story is good but calling it a game is wrong. Just stick with interactive novel!
