About A Normal Lost Phone
Explore the intimate digital life of a mysterious person by searching through their found phone's messages, photos, and apps to uncover their story leading up to their sudden disappearance on their 18th birthday. This innovative narrative game blurs the line between reality and fiction through an authentic smartphone interface that keeps you questioning the boundaries between play and reality long after you've closed the app.
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.

A clever little narrative game that tells its story by letting you explore someone's phone. It feels natural piecing everything together through messages, emails, and photos, and the mystery kept me interested until the end. It's short, but it's a memorable experience if you enjoy story-driven games.6 found this helpful
A bit of investigation, a bit of unique storytelling - enjoyed this. Didn't intentionally play it for pride but I guess it worked out. Also the music was horrible.1 found this helpful
Fun gameplay and compelling plot
This game made me feel something and i dont know yet if i like that feeling or not
as a transphobic guy, i liked this game & i really appreciate how human the texts are
This was short and sweet, but also very interesting. I sometimes feel like bigots wouldn't exist if they used their logic brain, but I know it doesn't work like that. I wish it did, though.
