What Makes Lacuna – Sci-Fi Noir Adventure Stand Out
Another cigarette tumbles into the abyss. The sun is slowly coming up, glistening in the sea of buildings below.
I look up at the stars one last time before they disappear. They don't provide any guidance. They don't give a…
I have to make this decision on my own, and very soon. Problem is, I don't know how. I've never been able to figure out why I do what I do. Not really.
No more time to think. I have to go.
Here's the deal
You are Neil Conrad, CDI agent. Awoken by the news of a murder, you rush into a case that will soon turn your life and the whole solar system upside down. Ask questions, collect evidence, and put the pieces together until the ugly truth reveals itself… or not.
No takebacks
The story branches and ends based on your actions. There's no going back. Sure, you can rush your way to the end – if you don't mind paying the price. Play your cards right, and you might make it out alive.
How far will you go?
Some questions don't have a right answer. Will you sell out a friend to protect your family? Will you endanger a loved one in exchange for public safety? Will you keep the peace or reveal the horrible, world-shattering truth?
Hungry for Point & Click Adventure?
While the classics were great in their time, Lacuna does away with the baggage of many adventure game tropes:
- Non-repeating conversations and choices
- Immersive, story-driven mysteries
- Optional outlines on anything interactable
- Story can always be driven forward
- Real choices and multiple endings
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Removed 1 star because we have an iPad Mini 6th Gen (2021 Model) and this game keeps crashing on us – about the time we arrive to school. This game should not be crashing on a (2 year old iPad) If we can play Divinity Original Sin 2, XCOM 2, Total War Medieval 2, Civilization 6 (without crashing) no reason this smaller in scale game should be crashing. Please update.
If only the game didnt freeze on us at 64% complete. Tried half a dozen times submitting a sheet and every time we do the game movement locks up. Literally cant play anymore. Very disappointing.
Im honestly surprised there arent more 4 or 5 star reviews. This is an amazing game with gorgeous pixel art. An interesting whodunnit with a good story to boot. So if thats remotely your thinggive this game a try, youll really enjoy it.
Great art, great voice acting, great story! Worked perfectly fine on our iPad Air and felt like we were using an in-game device when reading email, news, or sheets. Sorry but youve got to be a moron to download this on your phone (who plays games like this on a phone???), and contact developers if you have issues with your device rather than leaving a review, its not difficult. Youll def love this game if youre into point and click adventures and scifi mysteries.
This game is really well done and Ive enjoyed it so far. Unfortunately it verges on unplayable with the amount it freezes. This honestly wouldnt be a huge deal except that you cant save so you lose some of your progress when it freezes. Its frustrating to have to go back and repeat the same scenes. Most freezes happen after using the investigate button so thats clearly an issue. Only buy this if youre willing to play scenes over again.
A little bit of bugs here and there, but our god what a game. Story was amazing Im just saddened it ended so quick. Overall one of the most creative games we ever played thank you.
We havent finished it yet, but we felt compelled to write a review upon seeing another reviewer give this incredible game just one star because theyre having some technical issue.. We would hope that when people have these types of issues they attempt to resolve them with the developer first. We have had no issues with the game at all, Im playing on an older iPad Pro. The story is captivating and engaging and we had trouble putting it down to go to sleep. We love the old school graphics, and the main character narration. Im excited to continue playing and see where the story goes! We highly recommend this game if you enjoy a thrilling adventure.

We tried standing in other places in the room before we clicked the star map and one spot solved it. We can now resume the game.
We can only play up until the teacher has us to look at the poster in the tutorial part and then it freezes. Once we can play it we can give a more detailed review.
Would be unfair to rate since we cant play. Crashes on startup screen on our iPad Pro 9.7.
