Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure

[h1]❓ What is this[/h1] Lacuna (2021) is a narrative-driven adventure game developed by DigiTales Interactive. It blends sci-fi, thriller, and noir detective elements, emphasizing exploration, environmental storytelling, and player choice. The game features a cyberpunk aesthetic, multiple endings, and a story-driven approach, though gameplay depth remains limited. As the studio’s first game, it shows promise and ambition. [h1]❔ How I played[/h1] I completed the main campaign over roughly 6 hours, exploring every area, experimenting with dialogue choices, and uncovering multiple endings. [hr][/hr] [h1]🕹️ Gameplay[/h1] Gameplay in Lacuna is straightforward and deliberately slow-paced. Movement and interactions are simple, emphasizing exploration and narrative over action. Puzzles exist but are not particularly challenging or complex, and combat is absent. While the mechanics lack depth, they serve the story well and keep the player focused on the investigation. ✅ Pros: +...

This was an amazing experience, I enjoyed the story a lot. The little puzzles were enjoyable as well, it wasn't really hard but not that straightforward either. It also might be harder depending on some of the choices. Either way I had a blast playing through the game. One run of this game takes about 2-3 hours, maybe longer. So I'd recommend getting it on discount. If you are an achievement hunter this is a nightmare. While I love the game, getting all of the achievements is just frustrating, you can basically getting everything but one achievement in 2 playthroughs. However, to get all the achievements you need to beat the game 8 different times. There is a way to abuse saves, which I honestly recommend doing. Since most of the big decisions that change the ending, happened at the end.

Lacuna is a brilliant sci-fi noir adventure game, with an engaging narrative, pretty graphics, a beautiful soundtrack and fun, investigative gameplay.

Nice game, replayable of course :) Nice that it keeps you thinking and remembering things all the time, but i think sometimes it might be a little bit confusing with those names of the planets, people etc. 8/10 enjoyed it for 5h. I Think That The Drifter made a better job on telling the story. Worst thing in that kind of games is, that there is not much voice acting, and this game deserve it.
