A Date in the Park

You play as Lou, newly arrived in Lisbon, who agrees to meet Catarina in her favourite park after meeting her at a bar. When she is not where he expects, he sets out to find her in a place that gradually feels less ordinary.

Explore the park, talk with its few visitors, examine objects and follow clues. Small point-and-click puzzles help Lou make progress, while his inability to speak Portuguese makes some conversations difficult to understand.

The short, single-player adventure uses digitized graphics and animated sprites in a 1990s-inspired style, set against imagery of Lisbon’s real Tapada das Necessidades park. Its mysteries and horror elements develop alongside the search.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its compact, unsettling atmosphere and the shift from an everyday park outing toward horror, as well as its distinctive retro presentation. Some also like its straightforward exploration and puzzles. Other reviewers find it too short or simple, and some feel its story or ending leaves too much unexplained.
