Investigative puzzle game with deep story
This review is for the Nintendo Switch version

If you played "A Normal Lost Phone," the game play is mostly identical, but with a very different story to discover. Again, as the notice states at the start of the game, you are digging through an individual's personal phone to uncover her story in a relatively discomforting manner, but interestingly, there's a concluding reason this time around.

Story

You found Laura's phone, who has a loving relationship with Ben, has a number of great friends, and a job she enjoys. However, something happened as the first text message alerts you that she hasn't responded to Ben via text, who is sending concerned messages. What happened to Laura?

Gameplay

This is an investigative game where you have to find the clues in text messages, emails, and pictures to figure out the code to unlock the apps. Each time you are able to unlock an app, you slowly find out more of the story.

Warning

The contents of this game can be triggering through text descriptions and sequences described. If you have specific concerns that could trigger you, read the warnings at the start of the game (which I will not list here due to spoilers).

Overall

I enjoyed this second …

Overall

I enjoyed this second game a lot more than the first one, and also thought the codes were easier to figure out. It also seemed a little less text/email heavy compared to the first one. The story is pretty heavy, as these games tend to be, but this time, there was a nice epilogue that somewhat wraps up Laura's side of the story. I would recommend this game for someone who enjoys solving codes and wants a deeper narrative. The game itself should only take about 1-2 hours to complete.

giopep's review of Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story

La formula continua a funzionare e viene anzi qui perfezionata, con un ottimo lavoro sull'interfaccia ed enigmi intelligenti. Il tema è per me forse meno emozionante, ma anche qui viene trattato con gusto e rispetto.
