The WhatsNext verdict
If you want claustrophobic psychological horror with oppressive sound, memorable retro presentation, and story meaning hidden in the environment, Lost in Vivo delivers strongly. Expect serviceable combat and a deliberately cryptic, compact experience.

The story can feel cryptic or rough-edged
The setup
What you are walking into
A horror game about claustrophobia. During a storm your service dog is forced down a broken sewer drain. You find the nearest sewer entrance and run in after it. Along the way you will meet others that are also stricken by abnormal or psychological fear.
