This is a dark interactive story type game
I loved this game as it is so different to the others out there and to be honest was jaded with all the same formulaic type IHOGs. I viewed this game as more of an long interactive type novel. But a warning for some. It is dark. I got so caught up in the story it left me, after I had finished, a bit shaken. But in hindsight not many stories do that to me and to have the ending it did, actually made me rate it more highly.
If you are not into the story and won't read it, then this game isn't for you as the actual H O scenes and other stuff probably would bore you as it is a bit older.
But I would urge those that like darker stories to give it a try. But it needs more than 30 mins of demo time, as it did take me a while to get hooked.
This game surprised me on two levels - I don't like dark stories particularly and plots/stories about 80% of the time I don't bother with and usually skip them.
I eagerly awaited a sequel and while I wouldn't say the sequel was 'bright and cheery' it did address concerns that this original game was too dark. But I felt by doing that it had lost some of the specialness/uniqueness that this had.
I think this is a love/hate game. But give it a try and you may be like me, surprised you like it.
For the story I give it an A
For the Hidden object scenes I give it a B-
For the overall 'feel' game experience, I'd give it a very good solid B+++

not a usual adventure or HOG
It is difficult to classify "Lost in the City", since it has aspects of a hidden object or adventure game, but doesn't quite fulfill the expectations of either genre.
The biggest appeal of "Lost in the City" is certainly the plot: It is like reading an interactive novel (so there is LOTS of reading involved). You are stranded in an abandoned city, repeatedly drugged and in search of your girlfriend as well as the truth about this city. To move forward in the plot, you have to search scenes and find objects. As a hidden object game, this game is a disappointment, though, since many of the elements are rather easy to find - and there is never a long list of objects either. Visually, the game could be better - at the one side, the city images and rooms look in a way "realistic" and believable; on the other side, they are too grainy and unclear. However, if you like to be immersed in a plot (which not a lot of HOGs manage) and if you like dark and slightly disturbing plot lines, this is the game to go for! It is fun that you can influence the plot - you have to select where to go next (you lose points if you select the wrong location) or whom to believe in critical situations, and many of the search-scenes are timed (for example, if you don't find certain objects before your time is out, you die). There are two modes: regular, and easy. But even in the regular mode this game is maneagable. The little games in between are from very easy to more challenging - however, there is a lot of repetition (I don't know how many times I had to pick a lock).
Throughout the game, you collect money-points which you can use in the menu to "buy" secrets, extra mini-games and information - this is great! The game has also a good length - so you get several hours for your money.
The story totally got me interested - but as I said, you shouldn't expect an adventure or classical hidden object game when playing this. If you like, however, more complex plot lines and reading (even during a game), then this is totally the game you should go for - very unusual. I played it several times and enjoyed it each time - I especially like the "solution" to the whole plot. But if you usually skip reading long texts, skip this game.
Not to be recommended for kids.

One of my favourite games ever!
This game gets better and better as it goes along. It gets darker as it progresses and becomes quite challenging. Great plot, interesting characters, unique game play!

Gripping Game Play
The storyline keeps you playing forever! The activities are at the perfect skill level, so that it isn't too frustrating for less experienced players! I am not usually a fan of hidden object games but this is one of my favorites!

It's been years since I've played it and I still remember it!
I must have played this game over 4 years ago. I think it was my first Big Fish game and I loved it! It felt like a dark, eerie and slightly depressing game and I loved feeling like I was alone on an adventure to escape moments of being a prisoner and weird puzzles.

Lost in the City
I hated it. I thought this game would go on and on. It was like washing clothes wash, rinse, and repeat.

Hands down;
This is the worst game I've ever played besides Redrum. I thought it would be such fun since it is so different but, I was wrong. Don't waste your money on this one.
