In Lost & Found, players step into the shoes of a man who, after facing a series of personal and professional failures, is suddenly confronted with a mysterious phone call that alters the course of his life. Growing up under the care of an alcoholic landlord who told him that his landlady, Susan, had tragically died in a car accident, the protagonist has been led to believe his childhood home was lost forever. However, years later, he learns that Susan is very much alive, and everything he thought he knew about his past is about to change. As the protagonist reconnects with his past, he uncovers hidden truths and uncovers deep-rooted emotions tied to the people he thought he’d lost.
