THE GAME
Lost and Found Co. is a search game developed by Bit Egg Inc. and distributed by Bit Egg Inc. and Gamirror Games. When the goddess Mei needs to improve her popularity, she transforms a duckling into a human, known as Ducky, to help her. After facing some problems, Mei ends up transforming into a cute little dragon after a small misunderstanding. Together with Ducky, she intends to help the residents of the region and they found a company for this purpose. Help the two protagonists find what was lost in a search and find adventure.
MY IMPRESSIONS
While Lost and Found Co. may seem quite easygoing on the outside, I'm sure you'll be surprised by its difficulty. With a lively, fun, and reference-filled visual style, you'll find a good level of challenge. I confess I spent more time than I imagined on many levels of the game, which features excellent object interaction. Some of the objectives to be found may be inside other objects, so clicking on everything is essential, even if there's nothing you're looking for; everything is animated and sound-equipped so you have the experience of interacting with something and getting a response. In addition, some levels have more than one floor or different rooms, offering more layers of exploration for the player.
You have two paths to follow in the game: the main story, which requires a certain number of likes to unlock the next levels, and the citizen request missions, which generate the aforementioned likes. To complete a level 100%, you must complete the main objectives, which are basically finding the listed objects, and complete the additional objectives, which are a list of interactions that vary from level to level. Furthermore, sometimes you'll have to find a celebrity and take a picture with them. You can also find Jujus, which are little creatures that, when collected, allow you to receive an additional hint if you're having trouble finding an object with just the initial hint. They don't count towards completing 100% of the level, but they are a great help at times.
The game's story is quite simple and told through dialogues and animated scenes like a comic book. The game is not in Brazilian Portuguese, which may make it difficult for those who don't speak English and can't understand the hints given to find objects, as well as leaving the story a little less prominent. The characters are charismatic and carry the story well. You can also buy decorations and customize your base with them, as you earn coins by helping citizens. As a hidden item game, it has a level of challenge that will surprise fans of the genre and will be quite fun, especially when you finally find that missing object to complete the level after searching for a long time.
ACHIEVEMENTS
The achievements in Lost and Found Co. are simple and straightforward: complete all levels by getting 100% of the objectives and you'll get an achievement for each level. There's not much to say, although I can see room for other types of achievements, it pleases me to see something simple once in a while. That is, not that it isn't a great challenge and a test for your eyesight.
CONCLUSION
Hidden item games are addictive for me. In the first few minutes of playing Lost and Found Co., it seemed like an easy game, but it quickly showed its claws. Before I knew it, I was glued to the monitor screen, hunting for the last item in the level for several minutes. And every time I finished a level, I wanted to immediately start another one because, as I said, it's addictive. Even though I wasn't thrilled with the story, it's easily overlooked because of the game's fun gameplay. If you enjoy games of this genre, you'll have a blast with what Lost and Found Co. has to offer.
