Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who prefer narrative games centered on family conflict and personal relationships
- Fans of hand-drawn visual storytelling who want a focused December 1993 setting
- Players interested in intimate coming-out stories with surreal world-ending stakes
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-focused gameplay may bounce off the diary- and story-led structure.
- Players who want a repeatable challenge-based game may find the experience too focused on one narrative arc.
- Players looking for multiplayer or competitive play are not the intended audience for this single-character story.
Our take on If Found...
The bounce point arrives for players expecting combat, competition, or repeatable challenge. The diary-centered presentation and personal narrative place the emphasis on Kasio's relationships, memories, and December 1993 experiences rather than action systems or multiplayer progression.
What is If Found...?
If Found...
follows Kasio during December 1993, beginning on New Year's Eve as she destroys her diary in a ruined mansion on Achill Island.
