    Thanks for the review! I rarely get to see my music professionally reviewed and I love when I do, especially deeper cuts like my work on "If Found...". The literal deep cut that you only hear in the climax of the game is one of my favorite songs I've worked on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl6D...

    rebuild community and maybe even become capable enough to explore the strange ruined tech campus at the center of the island... We worked on this game for a few years after If Found was finished, but we ultimately hit a wall and couldn't continue. We had a brilliant story and fantastic art....

    22. If Found Another Irish game, this is a visual novel about a trans girl in rural Ireland in the 90s, where you erase pages of the protagonist's diary to progress the story. It's a little heavy thematically, but a very genuine and heartfelt experience. store.steampowered.com/app/1041920/...

    Five years on, If Found... still remains the most impactful game and piece of art I've ever played, and not just because I took my name from the protagonist of it. If you get a chance to play the finished version, or at least the demo, I hope it means as much to you as it does to me.

    If Found... (Steam Deck, 3 hours): Family, found family, and freedom. This game is a snapshot of a life estranged and adrift, the beginning of self-actualization. Has a unique transition mechanic of erasing layers of the screen to progress the story. Powerfully real.

    If Found Review: Can’t erase the past 6/10 + Interface gimmick of how you start the game was really cool - Despite the gimmick being cool at the start, it loose substance overtime. Hands started hurting. - The story doesn't really stand out, and it is hard to understand what is going on at times

    I'd go on to play a lot more games in 2024 than this one. I am not going to name anything "game of the year" in this thread. But I will say that If Found... is easily the most important game I played this year. Important to me, and important that it exists. Play it, and understand me a bit better.

    If Found… A game about a young, queer adult returning to Western Ireland in the early 1990s, and the adventures/troubles that await. You advance the story itself by using your mouse to erase/destroy each page of her diary. Short, sweet, and well worth your time.

    I finally played "If Found..." and it was *really* good. A narrative game about a trans woman trying to figure out her life in 1993 Ireland, and her queer found family. It's short and cheap and I highly recommend it. 👍
