About Lost in the Roots

A Profound Story of Forgiveness

When life offers a path to redemption, the hardest part is often forgiving yourself.

Step into the tragic tale of Yakob — a man whose past may have turned him into an outcast forever. Uncover who he was and what he did and wrestle with the question he asks himself every day: can you forgive yourself for destroying someone else's life?

A Colossal, Living Forest

The house lies hidden within a vast, mysterious Forest that has come alive. It reflects the darkest memories of anyone who dares approach. Why is it invading their minds—and, more importantly, what will happen when it finally gets what it's after?

Escape a House Full of Secrets

Getting out isn't just about finding a key; it's a test of wit and will. Explore eerie rooms, solve intricate puzzles, tackle atmospheric mini-games, and piece together the grim story hidden within the house's walls and the shadows of the Forest.
