I just played this through in about an hour - it was really good! I loved all the attention to detail and uncovering the story bit by bit really was a blast - my only drawback are the puzzles with dates which are formatted in the american way - my european ass could not figure out to just reverse the day-month numbers for quite some time.
I absolutely adored this game. It was short and sweet, yet I think that its time usage was absolutely perfect; even if one or two of the "puzzles" were a bit ambiguous (I might just be a bit impatient, though).
I wanted to add that y'all's art style really stuck with me. I absolutely loved it, not sure what about it stuck with me so much, but it did. I could feel Sam come alive and I could feel everything about it at my core.
Thanks for making a great game :)

J'ai adoré ce jeu. C'était court et bon, mais je pense que son utilisation du temps, c'était beaucoup de parfait.
Je voulais ajouter que votre style artistique était très charmant. Je l'ai adoré, et je ne sais pas pourquoi! J'ai pu voir Sam comme une personne réelle.
This is my favorite game from the bundle so far! I love it so much! You found an unlocked phone and you investigate everything inside of it (text messages, emails, songs, photos, dating app, weather app...) to try to understand who the owner of the phone is and why they lost their phone. So, so good!
Hi there! I'm CJ—I'm working on a master list of interface drama and would like to include your game as an interface drama, which is a game that tells stories through the use of interface (UI).
I'm reaching out to devs of games in the list to confirm that I have accurate tags of your game.
Right now, the tags on A Normal Lost Phone are:
- lgbtqia+
- mystery - puzzle
If there's any other tags on the list, or ones you'd like to add, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.
OMG I love interface drama games! Thank you for making the list! I have tried Emily is Away, A Normal Lost Phone, and Her Story. I'd recommend adding "Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story" to the list as well ;) https://dearvillagers.itch.io/another-lost-phone-lauras-story
a solid 9/10! super interesting format and really calming, pretty art. it would've been nice to see some kind of resolution- like once you complete the final task, maybe it shifts to some kind of after-credit scene from sam's pov. i also feel like some of the tasks were a little too well hidden- i actually had to look up a guide for several puzzles.
still, a really amazing game! tackled a lot of topics very near and dear to my heart. i definitely want to get to know sam better, and i really want to know more of their story. Accidental Queens did a fantastic job :)
