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.

Easy recommendation for game. It's funny, it has nice animations and very nice artwork, cool puzzles. I didn't encounter any bugs or issues. Just go for it.
[b]Lost in Play[/b] feels like stepping directly into a high-quality Saturday morning cartoon. The hand-drawn visual style is absolutely gorgeous, brought to life with smooth, vibrant animations that radiate charm in every frame. Beyond its stunning look, the gameplay is thoughtfully designed and incredibly engaging. The point-and-click mechanics are intuitive, and the language-free, visual-driven puzzles strike a brilliant balance—clever and varied without ever feeling tedious. A wonderful, heartwarming adventure from start to finish. [b]Rating: 10/10[/b] - Highly recommended!
Terrific puzzles, beautifully animated! Why isn't this game more lauded in the adventure games community?! One of the best I've played in years.
