Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story Will Dial Onto Nintendo Switch Next Week

Call waiting

by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln Wed 18th Apr 2018

Developer Accidental Queens is bringing the sequel to A Normal Lost Phone, entitled Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story, to Nintendo Switch on 26th April. The game is designed as a narrative investigation where you must piece together elements from the different applications, messages and pictures to progress. Scrolling through the phone’s content, you will find out everything about Laura: her friendships, her professional life and the events that led to her mysterious disappearance and the loss of this phone.

You can play in both portrait and landscape mode, which is a cool little feature in itself, and there's the usual support for HD Rumble as well. Honestly, these people need to stop losing their phones...

Let us know if you'll be picking up Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story next week. Is it your kind of thing? Let us know in the comments below...

Played through this and the first one the other day on my phone. Entertaining enough for a couple hours or so, maybe more if you're like me and need to read all of the extra fluff.

I've played this game before. Last week my sister left her phone at my place after a visit. In the hour it took her to realize that her phone was missing and come back for it, I found out far more than I ever wanted to about her. 2/10, that game totally sucked!

I need my HD Rumble details before I get it. So far zero games have utilised the HD Rumble function apart from 1-2 Switch, certainly not a great list...

I'd get the first, but not before a sale.

These games seem kinda half-assed and poorly fit for the Switch. I mean I am sure it's probably great on an actual phone, but this just doesn't really seem to work on the Switch.

You found MagicEmperor’s lost phone.

... He sure likes Sailor Moon and Donald Duck.

Is that fanart of @AlexOlney as a wild west cowboy?!

Cool! The first one had an interesting take on interactive storytelling, and the Switch's touch screen and form factor did a good job emulating an actual phone, while offering a better viewing experience for my poor old tired eyes
I'll definitely give this second game a try.

The first game got a really poor review. Hopefully this game corrects many of the flaws of the first game because it is an interesting concept to be sure.

@Yasaal zero games using hd rumble? I guess you missed mario kart, mario odyssey, arms, tumbleseed, and many many others...

@bluesdance Key word: Utilised

Games have used HD Rumble but none of them utilised the function properly. They just used it for some soft rumbles here and there and nothing like 1-2 Switch, which was a bummer since many games could have utilised this feature excellently. I mean don't get me wrong, I love Mario Kart, but it's HD Rumble feature doesn't exist since it's just regular soft rumbles...
