Developer Accidental Queens is returning to its spin on modern voyeurism with a followup
to mobile game A Normal Lost Phone. But though Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story follows many of the same rules as its predecessor — the entire game is played on a smartphone that mirrors the one in your hand — many of its improvements are a direct reaction to backlash from the previous title.
In Another Lost Phone, players assume the role of a person who’s picked up a wayward phone. Inside, they’ll find a slew of texts, emails, and photos that act as breadcrumbs to the game’s greater mystery: what happened to Laura, and why she seems to have gone missing. It’s the same premise as A Normal Lost Phone, but the game’s developers say they’ve taken criticism of that game — and how it handled a very serious transgression — to heart. “We think that a lot of this criticism was justified,” says co-founder Elizabeth Maler. https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/24/16329460/another-lost-phone-ios-mobile-accidental-queens
