It was a shame because there’s a “potent” story about childhood there, Vikki wrote in her Lost Words review for Eurogamer. A story written by Rhianna Pratchett, about a girl whose tumultuous life unfolds in a diary as you play - playing a heroine character of her imagining in a platforming, fantasy world. It’s a roundabout way of saying I’m glad Lost Words is now finally getting a proper release, snarky though that may sound. It’s due 6th April on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. It’s worth keeping an eye out for, and there’s a Lost Words demo currently available on Steam.
