Lost in Play is a 2022 point-and-click adventure game developed by Happy Juice Games and published by Joystick Ventures. The game, which conveys its story through cartoon-style visuals and gameplay rather than comprehensible dialogue or narration, follows two children, Gal and Toto, as they engage in a session of imaginative make-believe around their house and a fantastical representation of their neighborhood. The player moves the siblings through a series of loosely connected scenes, solving puzzles and minigames using clues and collected items.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Puzzles are normal and not difficult, and the art style is adorable. It reminds me of my childhood. But it would be better if there was more adventures for the girl. And the plot that the boy steals and drops the bra of the old lady is disgusting, this part should be modified.
This game is from the harder ones. Puzzles are interesting, story is just a background. Good mix of genres, I had some problems with so puzzles. Several times I had to look on another gameplay. Anyway, perfect game, took me 8-10 hours to pass.
Played this with my 5yo daughter. We had a really great time going through this game. The art is fantastic and animation is gorgeous, with a lot of fun scenes. Note that puzzles can be a little hard for a young kid (especially the board games).
