Having not played the first game, I can say that I really enjoyed this. I adore the visual style and, finally, a smaller game that’s voiced! No matter how good a game is, relying on telling its story through notes is dated, so it’s nice to see a game where the characters are voiced.
The living dolls and basement were the scariest moments for me, but I felt like the maze in particular was out of place. But then, I don’t like mazes to begin with, so that could just be preference.
I do think there should be some sort of ending; I feel like the game is missing its sense of closure. But overall, I enjoyed my time with The Lost Residents.
