Lost

Lost is a game name that tells you almost nothing, and that is part of the problem and part of the appeal. By our assessment, it fits the kind of title that leans on mood, discovery, or being a little disoriented rather than on a neat premise you can explain in one line. The downside is obvious: without a specific hook, a game this opaque can be hard to place among the many similarly titled projects out there. In practice, a name like this usually leaves the player to find out what kind of puzzle, narrative, or exploration game it really is. It sits in a crowded field where atmosphere and packaging do a lot of work before the first minute of play. People who like mystery and minimal explanation may be curious; people who want the pitch upfront will likely pass.
