Editor review
Lost Treasure is point-and-click adventure inside a forgotten temple. Solve puzzles. Decipher inscriptions. Escape with the artifact. The point-and-click adventure has a specific lineage (LucasArts classics from the 1990s) and Lost Treasure honours that tradition without trying to be ironic about it.
Look, I love this category. Done well, point-and-click adventures are pure puzzle work with a story wrapper that motivates the puzzles. Done poorly, they're tedious pixel-hunting through dull screens. Lost Treasure is the first kind.
The puzzle design is the headline thing. Each room has a discrete puzzle that requires inventory items, environmental observation, and sometimes light combinatorial thinking. The inscription-deciphering sub-puzzles are particularly clever (you find fragments of a glyph language across rooms and have to assemble meaning from accumulated clues). I spent maybe four hours on the campaign and never felt stuck for more than ten minutes at a time, which is the right pacing.
What I appreciate is the inventory size. Limited to maybe a dozen slots, which means you have to pick which items to carry. Smart design forces you to think about which items might be useful in upcoming rooms. Lazy point-and-clicks let you carry everything; Lost Treasure constrains you and the puzzles get more interesting because of it.
Four-and-a-half stars. Strong point-and-click adventure with thoughtful puzzle design and good pacing. Half-star reservation is the visual presentation, which is good but not exceptional. The puzzles carry the rating.
