Narrative-driven PC and smartphone title A Normal Lost Phone is coming to the Switch eShop next month.
Launching on March 1st, A Normal Lost Phone has you snooping through the handset of an individual called Sam, who has mysteriously vanished after their 18th birthday.
To uncover the truth you have to rifle through text messages, apps and photos to piece together Sam's life before their strange disappearance.

Developed by Accidental Queens and ported to Switch by Seaven Studio, A Normal Lost Phone has already sold more than 100,00 copies on PC and smartphones, and will come with a raft of Switch-exclusive features, including HD Rumble support.

This game has a very interesting premise, something that could only happen in today's age of technology. Will wait to see how they execute the premise into video game.
This ain't one of those cell phone horror games? Meh. (not that I play those either, lol)
I love visual novels, looking forward to this.
Was surprised to see this on eShop's coming soon list. I would get it but I already watched ProJared's playthrough almost a year ago. It's a short experience but it was quite good in my opinion. I don't think I really missed anything by watching it being played instead of playing it myself.
Just give it to the police, no need to play detective.
Specially if it belongs to a missing person!
This looks cool! I hope its $5 lol
Wow, more than 100,00 copies! That's...er...good, I guess?
(Translation: Might want to fix that number, Damien!)
@dskatter
Maybe he meant 100.00.
Nooooo, this is too creepy. It reminded me though of some games I played on NES about 28 years ago, Shadowgate, and Deja Vú, especially. I'm sure they were vastly different than this bizarre game but there's definitely similarities too. Either way, no thanks.
I enjoyed the game on my phone, but I'm not sure if it will deliver the same experience on a PC or on the Switch.
Reminds me of that horror game long ago that was sort of a hybrid reality game that you registered and it would actually call you on the phone with death threats and fax you and things to incorporate you into the horror....I don't think that went over very well......law enforcement REALLY didn't like it.
@Late And then people wonder why video game companies go after Lets Plays.....
Just watched the trailer for the first time. Game looks brilliant. Might have to invest in this one.
@NEStalgia Some Let's Plays make me buy games, others make me skip them. In this case, I never thought the game would be available on a console I own and I started watching the video without knowing that the game would have reached its end before the video ended. The game lasts for under 2 hours.
I watched the first couple of videos of Jared's Doki Doki Literature Club videos before downloading and playing it myself. Of course that game is free on Steam but I also got Dokapon Kingdom for Wii thanks to The Runaway Guys.
It's up to companies to decide if the Let's Plays are good or bad for their business. I don't watch Let's Plays of games I know I'm going to get. They make me aware of games I would've never known of otherwise and if the game is something I want to experience for myself, I buy it. As for this game, it's really something you can only experience once so that's why I'm not buying it even though I enjoyed watching it.
Aren't phones 99% of the time passoword locked o_0
I might really like this.
@Late All true, but I think your last sentence is kind of the point of most companies. A lot of games are story driven and people pounce on companies for trying to stop the LPs constantly despite the fact that they're right and depending on the game it can cost sales. A Splatoon LP won't make you not play splatoon, but this game would....basically anything that's based on being surprised, whether it's story driven, or location driven like Odyssey, etc. It's a reminder that the companies aren't really wrong in this like internet people tend to insist (though basic common sense should have really told us all that...)
@Orangezap89 In the US, only 64% have some sort of lock protection on their phones. 36% love to live dangerously.
I always enjoy a good outside-the-box premise, so sign me up.
Hearing that it began on mobile phones is an instant turn off...
But I do love good narrative driven games, so I will wait to hear more about it. If the review is good and the price is right I might give it a chance.
I like the concept, but it looks to only make sense on smartphones and not consoles.
@Joeynator3000 I played through it and the sequel on iOS. It's not a horror story. But it's VERY, VERY interesting.
Looking at the screenshots on iOS, the game looks like it’d be best played on a mobile. It’ll probably be cheaper on your mobile too
@brandonbwii @Bondi_Surfer I assume this will make you hold the switch like a phone.
You used to be able to "play" it on a browser for free. It's interesting at first but it ends up being yet another LGBT advertising.
Definitely not worth the price.
Intriguing premise. Wishlisted.
