Tepes Ovidiu, the talented independent developer from Romania, has launched his latest creation — a uniquely charming puzzle game titled *Is This Yours?*. Known for his previous titles such as *Cessabit*, a memory-based challenge, and *Not Chess*, a clever twist on a classic board game, Ovidiu continues to showcase his creative flair with this new release. As with most of his work, he’s handled nearly every aspect of development solo — from coding and design to artwork and animations — which makes the final product all the more impressive.
Is This Yours?
In *Is This Yours?*, players step into the shoes of a lost & found attendant at a bustling counter overwhelmed with misplaced items. People arrive in a rush, often flustered or confused, desperately searching for their missing belongings. The game transforms this everyday scenario into an engaging and oddly emotional experience.
From burritos and earbuds to passports and a teddy bear with apparent emotional baggage, the variety of lost items is both surprising and delightfully absurd. Each customer interaction presents a mini-puzzle where you must interpret quirky or vague descriptions to find the correct item. Whether it's locating someone’s broken sunglasses or solving a cryptic clue about a mysterious object, the gameplay keeps things fresh and unpredictable.
As you reunite people with their lost possessions, the game builds a rhythm that’s equal parts chaotic, humorous, and unexpectedly touching. Watch the gameplay trailer below to get a sense of the madness:
An Avalanche of Forgotten Junk and Grumpy Customers
The fast-paced mode starts with three hearts, and your goal is to match items quickly and accurately. The faster you respond, the higher your reputation climbs. However, as levels progress, the number of lost items increases dramatically, and customers grow increasingly impatient, adding layers of tension and excitement to each round.
For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, there’s also a Zen mode — a stress-free alternative where you can enjoy the game’s quirky charm without the pressure of time or angry patrons.
*Is This Yours?* features haptic feedback for immersive interaction, along with achievements and global leaderboards via Game Centre. It’s a premium game available as a one-time purchase with no ads, no tracking, and zero data collection. You can download it now on the Google Play Store for just $1.99.
