Overview
Description

Lost: Via Domus puts you in the shoes of Elliott Maslow, a new survivor of Oceanic Flight 815. Set during the first 70 days after the crash, the game lets you interact with the series' main characters while uncovering the island's mysteries.\n\nThrough playable flashbacks, puzzles, and action sequences, you piece together Elliott's amnesiac past and strive to earn redemption. The experience blends adventure, sci‑fi storytelling, and classic Ubisoft gameplay across PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

The Dig drops you onto an alien world after a NASA mission goes awry, forcing you to explore mysterious ruins and solve intricate puzzles to uncover the planet’s secrets. With a richly atmospheric story and classic LucasArts humor, the game blends science‑fiction narrative with brain‑teasing challenges. Despite its age, the game remains a compelling single‑player experience for fans of narrative-driven adventure games, offering a nostalgic look at 90s point‑and‑click design while delivering timeless puzzle mechanics.
