About This Game
Quick Overview
Lost Wiki: Kozlovka is a short, stylized detective puzzle game where you investigate a small Eastern European town through a fake Wikipedia-like database on a 90s-style computer. Instead of walking around in 3D, the whole mystery is built through articles, photos, hidden links, records, and deduction. You play as a journalist trying to connect the town’s secrets and report back to an anonymous source.
What makes it unique is the way it turns reading into investigation. You are not just clicking dialogue choices; you are searching through connected pages, noticing missing information, solving puzzles, and slowly building the truth from scattered records. It is also very well received on Steam, with Overwhelmingly Positive user reviews at the time I checked.
Who Should Play This Game?
Play Lost Wiki: Kozlovka if you like detective games, text-based mysteries, conspiracy stories, old-computer interfaces, and games where the main gameplay is thinking instead of fighting. It should be a great fit for players who enjoyed games like Her Story, The Case of the Golden Idol, or mystery games where you collect clues and make connections yourself.
Skip it if you want action, combat, open-world exploration, voice-heavy storytelling, or a long campaign. This is more of a focused investigation experience, likely best for players who enjoy reading, note-taking, and solving a compact mystery. The game also mentions death, killing, World War 2, and medical misconduct in writing, but not graphic visual violence.
Performance on PC
Lost Wiki: Kozlovka should be very easy to run on most PCs. The minimum Windows requirements list Windows 10, a 1.7 GHz dual-core CPU, 8 GB RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 4600. Since the game is mostly a 2D database-style interface, it does not need a strong GPU.
It also supports Windows and Linux, and SteamDB lists it as made with Godot Engine. Steam Deck is marked Playable, with the main warnings being small text and some mouse/keyboard-style icons, while default graphics performance is listed as good.
