Selected Articles
- "Lacuna is a wonderfully tense hard-boiled story set in a gorgeous jazzpunk future. Its mysteries will make you work for the answers, and will even let you fail, but either way the payoff is a sense of accomplishment that few other narrative puzzlers provide. 9/10"
- Drew Onia, Adventure Gamers - "It doesn't take a gumshoe to tell that Lacuna is a stellar, Noir-inspired adventure, that is absolutely worth investigating further. 8.5/10"
- Blake Grundman, PC Invasion - "Lacuna isn’t the first 2D noir detective game I’ve played, or even the second, but it’s undeniably the best one I’ve come across. 8/10"
- Jake Arias, Killapenguin - "An intricately crafted, perfectly paced and engrossing experience that places the story front and centre."
- Rowen Cameron, Indie Game Website
