Sean and Belle are on their way to visit their son for his birthday but suddenly they wake up in a mysterious world. Lost and confused, the couple ventures out into the unknown to find out where they are and where their son is.

Gameplay

In The Lost Son is a puzzle platformer where you play as two characters that you can switch between. Each character has a unique interaction with color. The blue character can only collide with blue barriers and pink circle can only collide with pink barriers. As simple as this constraint is it can create some interesting puzzles where you have to use both character's unique abilities to progress!
