Released: May 18

There’s a black hole threatening to destroy the entire world. At the same time, Kasio is having a hard end to a hard year. After returning home from school, life in small town Ireland is not kind, to the point that she feels the need to destroy her journal. Put the pieces together as you tear things apart in this gorgeous narrative adventure.

Why you should play it

If Found... tells a story that feels both epic in proportion and incredibly human, personal, and close. The storytelling here is beautiful and touching in ways that most games simply aren’t.

Why you might not play it

Don’t come here looking for any puzzles or other conventional game mechanics. If Found... is purely about its story, which is told via erasing drawings and text by wiping your finger on the screen. It may not be what you’d expect, but this input method is used to beautiful effect throughout the experience.
