Lacuna: A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure
Release Date: May 20, 2021
Lacuna - A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure is a futuristic noir adventure game in which we investigate a murder. The game departs from the schemes of classic adventure games, leading us through a non-linear story without unintuitive puzzles and repetitive dialogues.
Lacuna - A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure is a 2D science fiction and noir adventure game. This is another indie game released by Assemble Entertainment, and it was developed by the German studio DigiTales Interactive.
As the title suggests, Lacuna - A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure takes us into the distant future, to a huge metropolis where a high-profile murder occurs. The case is investigated by Neil Conrad, an agent of the CDI organisation. What he doesn't realise is that this investigation will turn his life, and the entire solar system, upside down.
The debut game from DigiTales is inspired by classic point-and-click adventure games, but it introduces many changes compared to the typical representatives of the genre. Lacuna - A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure abandons inventory management, fanciful puzzles, repetitive dialogues and point-and-click mechanics in favour of control system taken from 2D platformers and action games, as well as conversations and puzzles closely related to the game's plot. The authors also focus heavily on the protagonist's choices. In the course of the game Neil Conrad must constantly make difficult decisions, for example choosing between the right of state and the safety of his loved ones. Each action has its consequences, which ultimately lead to one of many endings.
Lacuna - A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure uses the popular pixel art style, inspired by classic adventure titles from the 90s.

WhatIfGaming: 8.5 / 10
Lacuna is a rare gem that everyone ought to give a try. The plot is immersive, the gameplay is innovative, and the ambiance is spot-on. The game may not tickle everyone’s fancy, but – trust me – this is a game you need to experience whether you enjoy the niche or not.
Digital Chumps: 7.5 / 10 by Steven McGehee
Overall, Lacuna is an interesting adaptation on the traditional point-and-click gameplay design. Though my interest in the characters and story plateaued around the halfway point of the game, they are both pretty well thought out and your mileage/interest in them may fair better than mine. At $20, it’s worth a look for fans of sci-fi noir adventure games.
Last Word on Gaming: 9 / 10 by Matt Jarvis
Lacuna is one of the best examples of point and click, adventure, puzzle and detective gaming I have played for I don’t know how long. From the mysteries changing to the multiple endings and the sound and visuals, this is truly an absolute gem of a game and one that deserves its place in your collection.
