this is legitimately one of the best trans coming-of-age stories I've ever read/played/watched. i've found most media about trans experiences is either kinda preachy stuff made for cis people (honestly does need to exist, but is boring as a trans person) or obscure stuff made for trans people (often quite good but also often kinda opaque to cis people). If Found... occupies an ideal and disappointingly rare middle ground, presenting a deeply heartfelt and personal trans narrative without either dumbing it down for or alienating the majority of the audience. it doesn't waste time explaining basic shit about being trans (although it does have explanations about Irish phrases and society). there aren't a whole lot of details i can give without spoiling everything, but this is a beautifully emotional story about a bunch of queer young adults.

the use of the medium seems odd at first, like maybe it should've been a comic, but as everything comes together the way the mechanics fit the story becomes more obvious and it feels perfect as a visual novel. i have heard complaints about the erasing mechanic being tedious - honestly, i can see how that could be an issue with a mouse, or especially a controller. it works really well with the touchscreen on Switch, though, and i imagine on iOS or a Windows tablet as well.
