About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an intriguing adventure in the Elusiverse, a mysterious place where forgotten treasures and lost memories intertwine. In Ministry of Lost Things: Case 1 – Lint Condition, you take on the role of a scout serving the Ministry of Lost Things, with a very specific mission: to find and return an item that, by mistake, ended up in your world. To succeed, you'll need to thoroughly investigate the details of the object and, of course, discover its true owner, navigating a landscape where each lost item carries a part of a grand tapestry of stories. It's almost like being a detective of lost items in a parallel universe, you know?
