This was $3.99?!?!
This is the first review I’ve written for an app. I just wanted to say that I appreciate the game developers giving us such a lengthy, well thought of and detailed story plot. It was entertaining and exciting and it was like a mystery/horror movie unraveling. For $4 I did not expect the game to have such a long game play. Also, the graphics are amazing for a mobile app and they even a cool feature by tilting your phone and your first person camera view would lean left and right on the screen. The videos scenes were very smooth and transitioned so well. Totally worth it!!! So glad I purchased it and gave it a try!

Whattt
I literally just payed a couple dollars for this game, the game opened and told me to make sure asylum was empty and now it is frozen on a ‘game center’ screen. No exit buttons work. Restarting the game does not work.
Wow
I’m only on chapter four but I dab already tell this is going to be an awesome experience. The game genuinely gave me chills and i almost screamed a couple times. I can’t wait to play more!
Amazing Game
First of all, this is an INCREDIBLE game. I HIGHLY recommend it. My only complaint is that it gets a bit repetitive at times. For example, smaller enemies would just keep showing up and interrupting the story. I liked the smaller enemies, but I didn’t like having to constantly avoid them while I was trying to enjoy the story. Other than that, no complaints. Good graphics, great story, great actors, and genuinely creepy as opposed to a lot of modern horror which is just jump scares and gore. This game does have those, but it also has a disturbing story and a really creepy atmosphere.

Grand Old Time!
I have to say, this was a really good game! I loved the first-person perspective, and the slight movements of objects and random sounds; those things all added to the creep factor. I think the splitting of the game into episodes, and three different characters was brilliant and allowed for the different view of the situation from each character, and opened the gateway for three separate stories that were all connected. The visions into the past had the perfect of amount of shock and horror. I have to say, the ending actually caught me off guard and gave me one of those “oh my god” moments. Surprising me is a very hard thing to do, and happens rarely. Now, I will admit that the controls were kind of wonky, especially with opening doors, and if you tilted your phone, the character would move. But, overall, I think this game was excellent; great story, decent graphics for an IOS game, pretty good for the horror genre, and really fun to play. I can’t wait to see what else the developer will create!

It felt like a drag at all times.
When I bought this app, I was hoping to buy a mobile game which demonstrated amazing graphics, a well designed movement system, an intriguing story line, and in general, a challenging gameplay. All these expectations were considered from the plethora of positive reviews made by people on the internet and from the reviews made in the AppStore. This game did not meet my expectations. The graphics were a little above average, the gameplay is repetitive and boring since AI is not that intelligent, and in fact too easy to dodge. The movement system is a smart attempt for a mobile game, but it feels clunky when moving, especially when there are lots of enemies in a certain level. Characters and the story line is a bit above average, but the ending of the game is too confusing to comprehend, as it just feels incomplete (I will not tell the ending because I would not want to spoil the ending for any player. I also played the campaign 2 times to confirm the ending).
Horror. This was the key reason I bought this game. This game lacks jump scare horror and creepy horror. It is just not that scary. That makes the whole game, especially from reviews and how the game is described, seem like a ruse.
Every individual is untitled to their opinion, however. Most people like this game, but I personally do not. I believe this is a 2/5.

Good game but seriously should have Apple TV with game controller support!
I just don't understand these games that are difficult on small screens that don't take advantage of making the app available on the Apple TV 4 with added game controller support. It just makes no good sense to me to pass this option up as a developer!
I find controls to be easy to learn
I found the controls pretty easy to pick up on. A few things took me awhile to pick up on, like peeking around corners. I had previously attempted to play Forgotten Memories and the sloppy controls were impossible. So I am loving Lost Within by comparison!
Painfully Average
Lost Within is about as generic as its title. Overrated graphics and gameplay with cardboard characters, and a boring storyline that barely kept my interest. The enemies aren't even scary, just like its atmosphere. The only thing scary about Lost Within is its price tag. Coming from an avid 26-year old gamer that's a huge fan of survival horror video games and horror movies, I think this might appeal to 12 and 13 year olds with rich parents. It was really hard for me to tap 2 stars and not give this game a 1 star rating. I gave it 2 stars just for creative effort, and because it's not truly worthy of getting one single star like a lot of the free independent garbage that lurks around on the App Store.

Why am I here?
It is 2:30 am and this game is scaring me to death. I want to go back and finish (I am hiding in a locker atm) but I have to build up some courage.
Love the game. Ok, I'm going back in. If you hear a scream, come and help me ok?

Awesome game!!!
My only complaint is that i wish it was longer, not saying it was too short, because in no way was it too short, I just want more of the story!
Awesome game!!!!!!
Awesome game!!!!!!
Not scary. Disappointed.
Full disclosure: I played the game for about 10 minutes. The voice acting is painful. The movement was frustrating though I appreciate the effort at innovating touch controls. And worst of all I found the encounter with the monster to be yawn inducing. It's not the worst game on the iOS store, but there's too many other, much better games to waste my time with this one.

Good, but not my fav
This game is alright for a pastime, but in general it just doesn't quite hit the spot. It has a good story and the pacing is pretty good; however, the endless repetition of the environment gets old quick. The further you progress in the game, the more noticeable the "recycling" of visuals becomes. To me, a good game should visually reflect where you are and a general progression as you play, but 95% of this game are the same hallways or rooms with the same lockers, desks, and cabinets. It also didn't quite pull off setting an atmosphere. I felt like I was playing an updated version of Wolfenstein 3D. While I don't regret purchasing this game, I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it again.

Outlast ios
This is Outlast for ios except, as another reviewer pointed out, the enemies aren't quite as freaky. That evil doctor in Outlast that cuts your fingers off and then chases you around looking under beds... Now that is freaky! Otherwise this game is pretty cool. I agree with one review that stated some tweaking of controls might be useful.

Too Hard
This game is fine until you get to the 3rd chapter. Then it becomes incredibly hard. I understand survival horror involves running from monsters, but here the monsters are too difficult to escape. There are several levels I had to play over 10 times to pass, and I finally quit when I couldn't finish one after 20 tries.
DON'T MAKE THE GAME SO HARD! It shouldn't be a contest between the developers and the players. You can always win, we get it. Now the challenge is to make it hard but playable.

Repetitive level design, clunky controls, laughable story
I am a huge fan of survival horror games. Some of my recent favorites were Outlast and Amnesia. The idea of having a similar experience on an iPad or iPhone was too good to pass up.
Graphically speaking it looks pretty good and sounds great too. Gameplay is not perfect but decent. You can craft various items that can be used to lure enemies away, temporarily stun enemies, lay traps, or heal yourself.
Unfortunately that's pretty much it in regard to the good. The controls can be frustrating sometimes. It's very easy to get stuck next to doors or accidentally click the wrong direction. Very frustrating when you're trying to escape from a baddy that really wants to kill you.
The story is garbage and laughable and unfortunately the game is kind of repetitive. It is broken down into three chapters and all three chapters basically follow the exact same formula. In addition the level design is very repetitive. You will find yourself traveling down similar-looking hallways and rooms endlessly.
Since the game isn't very expensive and some would say it gets a pass for being on a mobile platform, I don't think that's a good excuse. In fact I would have gladly paid $20 for a better game.
If you're desperate to play a half baked survival horror game on mobile platform then it might be worth it otherwise I would stick to the much better games on console or pc that do it so much better.

Creepy fun
This game is great!! I love everything about it! It is a great game to play at night! This game really gives you the spooks! Plus it can sometimes can sometimes be hard to finish a chapter or even episode. I recommend this game to anyone who wants to get spooked!!!
Great, Totaly worth the money
I was expecting more jumpscares but as I kept on going it was creepy and well thought out. I also liked how it all came together at the end like all the mysteries and secrets.
!!!!Great Game for most part!!!!
The story is good and the game is pretty scary especially if played at night.
The only bad parts about this game is there are only 3 different monsters and it only last about 5-8 hours depending on how you play.
It need more chapters added or a second game!
