Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Lost & Found is an adventure mystery game where you return townsfolk’s lost belongings and uncover personal stories behind each item. It features a hybrid animation style that blends 2D, 3D, pixel art, and more. Gather clues, investigate locals, and ensure every lost belonging ends up in the right hands.
Return to a Small Rural Town You Once Called Home
It’s 2007. You’re Rico, a laid-off artist struggling to find new opportunities in the city, and you decide to return to your hometown to work at the only place offering you a job: the local Lost and Found office.
A lot has changed since the last time you were in your hometown, Luisiana. Many friends moved abroad to seek better opportunities, businesses are closing, and the hangout spots you used to love are now run down. Explore what’s left of your hometown and reconnect with the folks you left behind.
Explore, Find an Owner of a Lost Belonging, Return Item, Repeat
A simple job on the surface, but not everyone would tell you the truth. Some would claim items that are not theirs. Gather and find whatever you can to find out who’s lying and who’s telling the truth. BUT be careful, not all that’s lost is meant to be found.
Everyone Has a Story to Tell
That’s one of the game’s guiding philosophies, and it’s why the art direction uses mixed media (2D, 3D, pixel art, claymation-like, and more). Each character is purposely designed to look and feel unique, like each of them has a story to tell. Also, listen closely; every townsfolk you’ll meet carries memories, gossip, secrets, surprises and even lies. Information you might find valuable down the line.
Every Item You Return Matters
From a decade-old wallet to an old notebook that holds a legendary bread recipe, each item contains a piece of someone’s life. Returning them to the right hands may uncover stories and change a life for the better, but giving them to the wrong individual may lead to unexpected consequences that affect the story of the game.
