About Lost Episodes Alone
You play as a character trapped in a looping nightmare where an evil nun called Valak hunts your friends. The goal is to collect scattered objects and solve logic puzzles to break the cycle. It’s a first person survival horror title with puzzle elements. GosuGames made it in 2026 for PC. The vibe leans into classic horror like Resident Evil’s slow tension and Slenderman’s eerie atmosphere. You’re not fighting monsters directly but outthinking them while avoiding direct encounters. The setting is a dimly lit haunted house with shifting rooms. Shorter than most games of its type, around four to six hours total playtime.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions backtracking through the house, searching for tools to unlock doors or bypass traps. Puzzles often require combining two items in inventory, like using a flashlight to reveal hidden symbols or a crowbar to open a locked cabinet. Movement is slow and deliberate, making stealth key. Valak appears in short chase sequences that force you to hide or sprint to safety. Inventory space is limited, so you must drop irrelevant items. The game emphasizes observation, most puzzles are tied to environmental clues. You’ll frequently pause to examine walls or furniture for anything useful. The camera occasionally glitches to add to the disorienting effect.
What Players Think
Community reviews on PlayPile rate it 74% with 62% completion. Average playtime is 5.3 hours. Mood tags show 41% "scared," 33% "determined," and 26% "frustrated." Critics on Metacritic gave it 78/100 for atmosphere but docked points for repetitive puzzles. One user wrote, "It nails the creepy vibe but the same puzzle mechanics repeat too often." Another noted, "The chase sequences are stressful but short." Completion rates drop after the first hour, suggesting some players quit due to difficulty. 12% of players earned all achievements, which include finding hidden rooms and solving bonus puzzles.
PlayPile's Take
It’s a niche pick for horror fans who like cerebral challenges over combat. At $14.99, it’s cheap but feels underdeveloped for its price. The puzzles become predictable by hour three. If you enjoy eerie environments and don’t mind a short runtime, it’s worth the cost. Skip if you want a deep story or varied gameplay. The 13 achievements are a nice touch but not essential. Best played in one session, don’t let the tension bleed into multiple playthroughs.
