Lost: Via Domus

Lost: Via Domus is a video game that consists of 9 releases


A game that puts you in the shoes of a survivor of Flight 815, who is struggling to remember his past while exploring the mysterious island he is on.

Overview

Lost: Via Domus was developed by Ubisoft Montreal after acquiring rights to the Lost license. It was a multi-platform release, and debuted on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC on February 27, 2008.

Story

Elliott Maslow
Lost: Via Domus puts the player in the role of Elliott Maslow, a survivor of the crash of Flight 815. He is a photojournalist who wakes up on the shore of a mysterious island after the crash with amnesia, and the entirety of the game is hinged upon recovering his memory through a number of "flashbacks".

The whereabouts of the plane crash are unknown even now in the canon of Lost. This particular survivor, however, cannot be considered part of the canon of Lost, and was created solely for the purposes of this game. 

Gameplay

The player controls Elliott from a third-person perspective, and is allowed to interact with most of the cast of Lost.

Player can interact with most of the Lost characters
Fans of the series will likely find their favorite characters' likeness in the game, though the number of actors/actresses who actually voiced their own virtual counterparts is limited. The player is allowed to explore and talk with them, or even trade items and goods for things more useful to the player. The core of the game, however, is centered on adventure and exploration. The game is by no means open-ended, but the player will find a variety of locations that also appear in the television show, accurately recreated. Places such as the initial site of the crash, the "dark territory," the Hatch, and many of the Dharma stations all make an appearance. A few extras that haven't been seen before are also thrown in for good measure (though some do not belong in the canon).

The main gameplay features include traversing the jungle and evading the smoke monster, navigating through pitch-black caves, and solving puzzles that come in the form of arranging fuses to transfer power to items that helps the player progress, such as opening doors.  Lost: Via Domus also uses "episodes" to advance the plot, rather than just moving on to the next level. At each new episode, you are given a recap of the previous section. This is done to simulate watching the actual television series.

The Game also features "Flashback" Levels in which you must take photos of a certain objects to help Elliot regain his memories.

Xbox 360 Game Installation

Lost: Via Domus requires 4.2GB of space to install on an Xbox 360 HDD.
