Our take on Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure
The store presentation stresses war, danger, and difficult moral decisions, while the described play centers on dialogue, investigation, and branching outcomes. The noir framing may set expectations for a broader action experience than the listed mechanics provide.
What is Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure?
Lacuna follows Neil Conrad, a CDI agent who investigates a murder after news of a hack and a bombing threatens to plunge the solar system into war.
The investigation involves asking questions, collecting evidence, and connecting clues until the truth emerges or remains concealed. Actions and decisions branch the story and determine its ending, with no way to undo earlier choices. Conversations avoid repeating every dialogue option, while the mysteries focus on the story rather than inventory management or counter-intuitive puzzles. Movement uses WASD or a controller in a 2D science-fiction noir setting. Optional outlines can mark interactive objects, and the story can continue without stopping at every puzzle.
