Description from Google Play Store:
A Normal Lost Phone is a game about exploring the intimacy of an unknown person whose phone was found by the player.
The game takes the shape of a narrative investigation: you have to search the phone’s text messages, pictures and applications, in order to learn about its former owner. Through this phone, you uncover Sam’s life, friends, family and relationships, until the evening when they turn 18 and mysteriously disappear.
Features
- An immersive and intuitive way of introducing the narrative through a fake smartphone interface.
- A game that bridges the gap between reality and fiction by letting players act as themselves. The game asks a simple question: if you close the app but still think about the game, have you truly stopped playing?
- A relatable story that helps build empathy with the characters, allowing to explore difficult topics.
I found a phone recently. Tried to call a couple of the numbers in it, but no answer. Left a couple of messages, but no one got back to me. Phone rang a few times, each time I picked it up there's was silence and then the phone hung up. After about a day I was starting to get a little bewildered, it wasnt a particularly expensive phone but who doesn't want their phone back?
At this point I started to get a little forensic, worked out that the phone belonged to someone in the red light industry. All the people calling must have been clients who didn't want me to know who they are. A friend of the person eventually called and then picked the phone up.
Apart from being pissed at all the people calling and then not talking to me, I have to say it was quite intriguing, I could see how a game like this could be interesting
