Welcome to The Lost Journal

THE LOST JOURNAL is a 2-D side scrolling adventure game that tells a story of friendship, identity, family, and acceptance, while you, the player, is tasked with answering journaling prompts throughout the narrative. Explore exciting forest environments, interact with interesting characters, and solve a mystery that ties into an age-old forest legend…

Journey into the forest playing as Amelia, an aspiring botanist with a thirst for adventure. With her trusty field journal and her keen eyes, she begins her quest to discover new plants. Amelia’s journey takes a turn when she stumbles upon torn pages detailing of magical forest ruin, and the mysterious character who they belong to…

Install instructions

Thank you for playtesting our game! Please note that the download option is only available for Windows software at the moment, and we are still working on creating a MacOS download option. After you download the zip folder, extract the files and double click The Lost Journal.exe file

Since this is an alpha demo, we ran into a bug that froze the computer when you tried to quit the game, so we removed the quit button (obviously for you to enjoy more journaling time!), so you'll have to use your system task manager to exit the game.

Thank you again for playtesting, and let us know if you run into any issues :)
