Buy Lost Wish: In the Desperate World PC key

Lost Wish: In the Desperate World is a 2D side-scrolling metroidvania platformer. You follow Kana, a young girl driven by revenge, as she faces obstacles and explores a dark world. Kana asks Alice to help find someone who betrayed her in the past, but whether she will stop there—and how she will affect this cruel world—remains uncertain.

Kana and Alice

Kana has recovered from her past but still intends to pursue her path. The story focuses on characters, their feelings and desires. Alice is kind in a cruel world, while further details about the characters are left undisclosed.

Explore and fight

The world contains more than 400 rooms to explore, along with side quests, including one that holds the key to many answers. Battles call for careful timing: you choose when to attack or roll, since rushing can be fatal. Different items can give you an advantage in combat.

Art and dialogue

The game uses pixel art and fully hand-drawn, anime-style character sprites for its dialogue. Bizarre references provide lighter moments.
