Engaging Yet Flawed Horror Escape Adventure
Lost Roads is a free-to-play indie horror adventure game that invites players to navigate a dark and eerie house filled with puzzles and jump scares. The gameplay revolves around escaping by solving simple puzzles in two distinct modes: normal and challenge. While normal mode allows for a leisurely pace, the challenge mode introduces a time constraint, adding urgency to the escape. Players will experience a constantly changing environment as the rooms shift with each passage, creating an unsettling atmosphere that keeps them on edge.
Despite its intriguing premise and a well-crafted horror ambiance, Lost Roads suffers from several drawbacks. The puzzles are overly simplistic, often solvable within minutes, and the overall gameplay is disappointingly short, lasting less than thirty minutes. Additionally, the lack of a narrative context leaves players feeling detached from their objective, and technical issues such as lags and freezes further detract from the experience. In summary, while the game offers a few chilling moments, it ultimately fails to deliver a robust and engaging adventure.
