Lost and Found Co.

I went into Lost and Found Co. expecting a pleasant, lazy hidden-object romp — what I got was a surprisingly animated world that kept me poking every pixel like a kid in a toy store. Bit Egg Inc. packed the game with hand-drawn scenes, bespoke animations for nearly every click, and a tiny narrative that gives the whole thing heart. It’s like Where’s Waldo met a cozy cartoon studio: familiar mechanics but with relentless personality. If you enjoy gentle puzzles and a game that rewards curiosity more than speed, this one’s a delightful stop.

Poking Through Busy Streets and Cozy Offices

Gameplay is straightforward on the surface: you click to find items, fulfill requests, and progress the story as Ducky, the duck-turned-intern. But the delight is in the details — every level feels like a tiny stage play where objects react, characters chat, and little side-stories bubble up if you take the time. Levels range from jam-packed market squares to sleepy living rooms and the quirkiest office you’ll ever decorate; some levels you’ll blaze through for requests, others you’ll sit in and click everything just to hear the sound design. Controls are click-and-point, with a helpful hint system for when your eyes refuse to cooperate. There are also challenge levels that spike difficulty and test your observational skills, so it’s not pure spoon-feeding.

A Cabinet Full of Tiny Surprises

What sets Lost and Found Co. apart is the obsession with interactivity: nearly every prop is clickable and often has its own animation, sound cue, or joke. That means you don’t merely hunt items — you discover micro-moments, easter eggs, and small narrative threads that don’t always show up in the main quest log. The game rewards exploration with side quests, hidden subplots, and collectible bits that let you renovate and customize your office like the proudest little startup manager. If you loved games such as Scribblenauts or animated "spot the difference" scenes from your childhood, this scratches the same itch but with way more love in the animations and responses.

A Tiny Studio’s Visual and Audio Loveliness

Graphically, this game leans into hand-drawn warmth: backgrounds are richly detailed, characters animate with expressive little loops, and there’s an almost tactile charm to how things bounce and wobble when clicked. The soundtrack is earwormy without being invasive — soft tracks that set a cozy mood — and audio feedback for clicks is consistently satisfying. Performance on Windows and Mac (I tested on Windows) is smooth; the game scales well and offers accessibility options like adjustable text size and a forgiving hint system. A small nitpick: a couple of early cutscenes feel a tad long if you just want to jump into hunting, but you can skip or fast-forward most dialogue after the first run-through.

Lost and Found Co. is a love letter to slow, curious play — a hidden-object game that rewards poking around and gives constant small delights. It’s ideal for anyone who wants a cozy, low-pressure experience with gorgeous art and lots of content; speed-run fans or strict purists of the genre might balk at the narrative-first opening. For me, the animation hooks and endless clickable surprises make it worth the price of admission.
