    I’m totally hooked on this game! The atmosphere is so immersive; it really makes you feel like you’re right there in it. The gameplay is awesome, the art style is on point, and the sound design is just fantastic. But man, I can’t stand Emma and Mr. Cuddles—they gave me some serious trauma from the demo! Still, I’m super excited to see the game grow with more characters, new places, and even more ghosts :)

    Hello Gaming Friends! After a while of waiting and playing and waiting again, then looking to see the reviews of the game left since I first played the game, I felt it was worth giving a review and honest opinion. To set the perspective... I have played many co-op horror games with friends and public random players alike. Many hours in Phasmophobia, Ghost Watchers, Devour, etc. The list goes on and in most, I have double-digit playtime at minimum. At this point, I get pretty stoked to replay…

    I like these types of games — it’s a ghost-hunting game. However, the ghost keeps appearing in the same locations, even though you have the whole building unlocked in Chapter 1 or the sewer in Chapter 2. It’s 90% of the time in the same spots, almost right at the beginning. The only real positive in Chapter 1 (the Orphanage part) is the ghost exorcism sections — they actually have some lore and atmosphere to them. But Chapter 2, the sewer part, just feels bland and rushed, like they ran out of…

    Avoid at all costs. Through and through it's another unity asset slip game thrown together for a quick buck and even at a "full release" you have ♥♥♥♥ all for content. Even if you like the ghost hunting style game this is a far cry from that genre. It's "story" based gameplay only so it's just the same over and over.

    The games is based around your microphone and it is a very important part of the game. You would think that the developers put a lot of time in making it, so the game could pick up your mic properly, right? Nope, the game is not recognizing your microphone input, making it unplayable, despite trying different mic sets, different laptops and even a PC. No luck at all. Important note, my mic works perfectly in literally any other game, so this is a mistery for me.

    This game needs a face lift. The graphics IMO are horrible. The cartoony voice acting isn't scary IMO. The guy that posted the review about this game STRAIGHT up baited me. He got paid for that BS. Anyways from my experience with Phasmo and then playing this. I was digging it but DIDN'T like the setup. Everything was everywhere. No organization at all. Lower difficulty n normal was WAY to easy. Didn't even get 1 hunt in. I don't even know if there is even a hunt. The deja vu jump scares ruins…

    There really need to be some trigger and content warnings up front for this game. I was enjoying playing with friends last night, despite some of the issues technical issues with visuals glitching and mics cutting out that others have experienced too. But now I can't stomach playing the game anymore. If I had seen a warning about displays of graphic violence involving children, I would have known to avoid it, or at least to avoid certain parts of the game. Ghost children and story lines are…

    Game is so good the ghost spawned in 3 seconds of entering, managed to loop it like dbd and the scariest thing of all was this taking my 5 dollars. -10/100 wouldn't recommend to anyone who isnt a speedrunner due to the fact the game can be beat in less than 20 minutes. Also I enjoyed the view of looking outside the map and seeing the endless void of my depression after playing this game.

    Lost Lullabies is your average ghost hunting game. It tries to emulate Phasmophobia, but doesn't quite scratch that itch. A few of us decided to try some new horror co-op games and this one landed in the pile. Unfortunately, it didn't keep our attention. We tried two of the maps, and I think the game tried to differentiate itself from Phasmo by implementing different mini-games and game mechanics, but maybe did too much and didn't do them well. We were confused by all of the different…

I am all for scary games, even though I'm a chicken, and I love a good story.. This game absolutely butchered that for me; it was horribly depressing and was way over the top with triggering scenes. I get it, death is a very real thing no matter what age you are- but to have something as horrible as this game was beyond me. My group is made up of streamers/those…

    This game is incredibly horrific. The emotional torture this developer has created, was awful, and triggering emotionally on a level no one was prepared for. This was not a fun play with your friends kind of horror co-op. The story line is depressing, the visuals are graphic and triggering. The title, game description and further more have had little to no warning about the kind of scenes you will encounter. 10/10 Do NOT recommend.

    My friends and I have really enjoyed this game. Yes, it’s similar to Phasmophobia, but this game actually has a story that makes me want to keep playing. We’ve run into a few bugs here and there, like a telephone that wouldn’t stop ringing behind a locked door, but nothing too game-breaking. At first, we thought this was just a Phasmo knockoff, but after getting through the first two rounds, it proved us wrong. The exorcism levels are a refreshing twist and add a lot to the experience.

    I have been counting down til the update with my friends because we love this game! Early Access notes: Exhaustion from sprinting was a tab short for our liking. Figuring out how to play took us a while, but ended up learning as we perished. There were moments where we were glitched out of the map when we died like I could fully roam around and under most of the map, but a simple restart fixed that at times. Wish there were a guide in English and other languages to help players understand how…
