Home » Otterly Lost is the cozy exploration game I really needed, and its Steam Next Fest demo is pure bliss

I’m going to level with you, I’ve been going through it a bit recently. Life ain’t easy at the best of times, especially when you’re feeling lost in it all. Videogames have always been my main escape – I’m sure it’s probably the same for you, too. If you’ve peeped my bio, you’ll also know I love otters. The squeaky lil homies never fail to delight, no matter how many hundreds of reels of them I scroll through. When I came across the Steam demo for Otterly Lost, an upcoming sub-aquatic open-world game from Soulworks Interactive, it felt like something out there was giving me an invisible pat on the back.
