Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure

A murder. A hack. A bombing. All it takes to plunge the solar system into war – unless you do something about it. Help CDI agent Neil Conrad make a string of increasingly difficult decisions in this modern dialog-driven adventure set in a gorgeous 2D sci-fi noir universe.

Lacuna puts you in the role of Neil Conrad, a CDI agent investigating a murder that could trigger conflict across the solar system. In a science-fiction noir universe, every testimony, document and choice can bring you closer to the truth or close a lead forever.

The adventure is built around dialogue, evidence gathering and decisions. You question characters, explore locations and respond to situations before the story moves on. Consequences last and several endings are possible, encouraging replay in order to understand the other paths.

We loved: The noir atmosphere. Pixel art, music and futuristic locations create a detective mood that feels distinct from a standard mystery game.

We liked: The weight of decisions. Lacuna asks you not only to solve a case, but to live with what your choices cause.

Our favorite part: The political tension. A personal murder is connected to a wider crisis, giving each conversation extra weight.

Our tip to help you: Read documents and dialogue carefully, then think before answering. Some information cannot be recovered after a decision. Do not look only for the most moral-sounding response, consider the evidence you actually have.
