Lost Wiki is an interesting blend of a PC Simulator game and a Golden Idols fill-in-the-blank detective game. You are a hired detective, given access to a wikipedia site that pertains to the cursed Slavic town of Kozlovka. By sifting through hyperlinks, you slowly piece together the story of a town filled with tragedies.
The puzzle difficulty is pretty perfect, though towards the end I had to use the hint feature to piece together the entire story. But for the most part, I loved the exploration and clue synthesis that the game requires.
It is also beautiful, with CRT and dither effects, adding a retro grit to the experience. I don't typically love the Golden Idol type games, but this one kept me hooked until the very end.
7.8/10
