Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure

Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure

Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure is a sci-fi noir adventure that puts you in the shoes of Neil Conrad, a CDI agent. He's woken up with news of a murder, and the investigation quickly grows beyond a single case: his choices can upend his own life and the entire solar system.

Questions, Clues, and Consequences

The game centers on questioning, clues, and deduction. You'll need to question characters, gather evidence, and piece together the story until the truth comes into focus... or slips away. What matters isn't only the facts you uncover, but how you choose to use them.

No Rewinds, No Do-Overs

A key feature of Lacuna is the absence of rewinds: the story branches and concludes based on your actions. You can rush toward an ending, but it comes at a cost. Some choices have no comfortable right answer — betray a friend for the sake of family, put someone close to you at risk for public safety, keep the peace, or expose a destructive truth.

Beyond Point-and-Click

The game's description highlights a break from some familiar point-and-click adventure constraints. Instead of standard point-and-click controls, it uses WASD or controller input; conversations aren't just about cycling through every line, and puzzles or inventory management are designed not to stall the story's momentum. Optional highlighting is available for interactive objects, and choices lead to real consequences and multiple endings.
