Our take on Lost in Vivo
Rather than placing horror in a broad or familiar setting, the game confines its central pursuit to a damaged sewer and links its encounters to claustrophobia and psychological fear. The possibility that characters may be beyond help also undercuts the expectation that every encounter can be resolved.
What is Lost in Vivo?
Lost in Vivo is a horror game centered on claustrophobia.
During a storm, a service dog is pushed through a damaged sewer drain, leading its owner into the underground system in pursuit. The journey introduces other people affected by unusual or psychological fears. Encounters may offer opportunities to assist them or find a way out, though the story also allows for outcomes in which help is impossible. The game supports controllers, but controller setup requires passing the graphics options first. Controller key rebinding is discouraged because menu inputs correspond to fixed controller commands rather than displayed button labels, and opening the Steam overlay through a controller is not supported.
