Lost in Vivo is a horror game revolving around claustrophobia and other psychological fears.You are walking with your emotional-support dog when a storm comes, when a sudden downpour washes it down a broken sewer drain. You find the nearest sewer entrance and run in after it.Along the way you will meet other people that are also stricken by an abnormal or psychological fear. You may be able to help them, just as you may be able to free yourself, but just as likely, they or you may be beyond any help.Lost in Vivo is a horror First-Person Shooter with a Retraux graphics style (one of the earliest examples) inspired by classic PlayStation horror games. Players control an unnamed claustrophobic as they descend into a nightmare world of tunnels and tight spaces. As they get deeper and deeper into this strange underground world, reality itself seems to break down. The already arduous journey soon becomes a spiraling nightmare in which the protagonist must fight for their life against warped otherworldly horrors.Developed by Akuma Kira, the game's available online through itch.io and Steam. | |

Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_10dffb47 | comment |
Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: In contrast to the authors other works, this one isn’t cute or eerily elegant, but instead looks like an oversized mummified fetus with filthy matted hair. It seems to take a more traditional form normally, as the station master didn’t describe it as the horrific form players see, but just as a girl who was in the station at time she shouldn’t have been, in areas she shouldn’t have been in. | |

Abnormal Ammo | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_12c65d9b | comment |
Abnormal Ammo: The shotgun found in the Metro System fires rock-salt shells. This makes sense since it's a police shotgun, and despite sounding absurd, rock salt shells are real and are traditionally used for wildlife control. These rounds deal minor damage against most physical threats, but are highly effective against certain supernatural enemies (namely the Ghost Girl, the fleshy parts of the Ghost Trains, and the Spitters in the final area). | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: They range from happy, to depressing, to absolutely nightmarish: In the good ending you face your fears and are reunited with your dog. It is ambiguous whether your journey was a psychotic break or a real experience, but either way you’ve grown so much as a person that for the first time in your life your claustrophobia has retreated. In one bad ending you simply turn around and leave in the first area. Your claustrophobia gets worse and you never see your dog again. In another bad ending you shoot your dog. You become depressed and overcome by guilt. The entire journey to that point is all but stated to have been a hallucination. In yet another bad ending you make it to the end and escape without your dog. The things you saw in the tunnels and your own failure haunt you for the rest of your days. The journey is implied to have been real. In the nightmare ending you summon the Eldritch Abomination Bayagototh in the tunnels. When you arrive at the surface the entire world now looks the way the tunnels did. You look up in time to see the sky become a solid living membrane and begin to smother the entire world. A claustrophobic's literal nightmare come true. | |

Visual Pun: In the second-to-last area, the Drain, the map shows that fittingly for a psychologically symbolic area, it is all contained within a CT or MRI slice of someone’s brain. Probably yours. Regardless of whose brain it is, it’s a literal “brain drain.” | |

| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_237569e4 | comment |
The Hotel, and The Way Out, while still found footage (a lost recording/piece of media that is found to have survived in a physical medium) in the dictionary sense, appear to be allegorical stories. The first dealing with an Ironic Hell Eldritch Location where tortured souls wander for rest they can never, ever have and the second is a pure Mind Screw story about abuse, entrapment, and suicide. | |

Mysterious Watcher | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_28bef8d9 | comment |
Mysterious Watcher: A character referred to only as Virgil in the game files observes you throughout the game. He also intervenes several times, never in your favor. That being said, Word of God says he is also the power behind the save rooms which is why the statues look like him. This only makes his motives even more obscure. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: Quite a few. By playing around with the settings, you can unlock a gallery of the game's models without the threat of them coming for you. Plus, your dog is there with you! Also by playing with the settings, you can unlock a mode in which you simply drive home in the night, with some music playing along the way. Just don't get out of your car. By playing the game at midnight, you unlock a mode aptly titled Lost in Vivo: Midnight, a more stylistic rogue-like dungeon crawler. In the second Mersus Tape, The Way Out, features a surprising one in the form of The Backrooms of all things. Noclipping through one of the walls will transport you to it, with a lot of areas being reminiscent of old Garry's Mod servers, including missing source textures and even a rules board, which warns to never invite "Rancid Johnny". Sure enough, Rancid Johnny himself will actually join the Backrooms, but he won't appear or do anything, other than use the voice chat sometimes. | |

Shoggoth the Eel King, a gigantic drooling abomination with Reality Warper powers. When he appears, you die. No matter what. You only manage to make it through your first meeting with him due to the bizarre nature of the tunnels causing your death to be subject to a Cosmic Retcon, possibly by Virgil. | |

FoundFootage | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_3d5afa54 | comment |
Found Footage: The premise of all of the Lost Tapes but especially The Cabin, The Pound, and The Wolf. The Clinic sits on the borderline since it’s so outlandish for a location not in the nightmare tunnels that it’s hard to tell if the footage is real. The Hotel, and The Way Out, while still found footage (a lost recording/piece of media that is found to have survived in a physical medium) in the dictionary sense, appear to be allegorical stories. The first dealing with an Ironic Hell Eldritch Location where tortured souls wander for rest they can never, ever have and the second is a pure Mind Screw story about abuse, entrapment, and suicide. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The game uses a deliberately low-poly, low detailed art style that brings to mind PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 games. This is meant to make the world feel even more alien and foreign, and it succeeds in spades. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |

Sotiris is quickly revealed to be far more than just another monster. His chapter has the most Leaning on the Fourth Wall and The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You moments and most of them are his fault. It puts him well above most of the other abominations in terms of power. | |

| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Claustrophobia. The vast majority of the game takes place in crushingly small spaces and the protagonists journey takes them deep underground. In addition, most of the major areas deal with some kind of crushing social terror as well- the subway talks about body image issues that are causing the afflicted person a great amount of anxiety, the mine deals with paranoia, while the laboratory is themed around both suicide (or more accurately, craving for death) and demonic possession. | |

Cursed Item: Lost Tape #3 is said to cause serious harm to viewers, and turns others slavishly loyal to the unseen Bayagototh, an Eldritch Abomination mentioned across Kira's games. It’s implied to only work on the Neurotypical, as the protagonist and the note writing professor Dr. Bowers (who is heavily implied to have post traumatic stress disorder from performing tests on animals) were unaffected while Dr. Piccinini started to build Sotiris after watching it. | |

Hell Is That Noise: The game is full of unpleasant noises, and they're often heard before you see what's making them. Just the sounds of the enemies is so unnatural and off. A lot of sections in the game will have moments in which you will hear mechanical banging and droning sounds, but nothing happening aside from that. The extremely loud and jarring train horn noises that the Ghost Trains make as they screech toward you. | |

New Game Plus: Allows you to start a new game with all 4 weapons unlocked from the beginning. You also get a few new weapon skins for your melee weapons that slightly change their behavior in combat. Your ammo doesn't carry over, but you do start with a couple clips worth for your two guns. Enemies do more damage and new enemies are placed in many areas which were previously empty, to spice up the gameplay now that you know what to expect. Certain creatures which were merely ambient in a normal playthrough will also actually attack you. | |

Surreal Horror | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_72d31973 | comment |
Surreal Horror: Full of it. Sometimes it becomes really hard to tell if what's happening is literal or not. The best example is that at the end of the first "Rusty" sequence just before the subway, the protagonist wakes up at the bottom of a hole that looks similar to the one they were forced to jump down during the nightmarish sequence they just came from. Was that entire sequence a dream, then? | |

And Now for Someone Completely Different: In the drains, there's a short section in which you control the protagonist's dog. Actually, you're controlling the Siren pretending to be the dog, as shown by a short glimpse of the Siren's hand you can see at the end of the segment, as well as the fact your POV is way too high above the ground to be that of the dog. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: The talking brains towards the end give this to you. It can be a very emotionally powerful moment if the player struggles with the issues the game explores, such as anxiety, body image issues, and self hatred. This makes pounding the bastards to a pulp or blasting them to kingdom come all the sweeter. | |

He can see without eyes, his body can fit inside your inventory, though the game draws attention to it being impossible. Despite being dead for a long time and one of his legs being severed, he can get up and walk like it’s nothing and seems to be immortal. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
In the nightmare ending you summon the Eldritch Abomination Bayagototh in the tunnels. When you arrive at the surface the entire world now looks the way the tunnels did. You look up in time to see the sky become a solid living membrane and begin to smother the entire world. A claustrophobic's literal nightmare come true. | |

Ghost Train: As you explore Grand Bulim Avenue, you're attacked by huge apparitions that take the form of subway trains. They attack by biting you with their huge, lamprey-esque mouths, which also happen to serve as their weak point. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: Tons. In vivo exposure therapy, from which the game takes its name, is also called “flooding”. A flood is what starts the events of the game. The term “in vivo” also can refer to live animal testing in lab reports. Almost all the ads in the subway deal with food, fitting for an area haunted by 1-2 (left ambiguous whether both ghosts are different manifestations of the same women) ghosts who suffered from severe body dysphoria. Enemies in the area centered around self image are monstrous mirrors. The enemy in the mine is based on paranoias about friends and loved ones. Almost all of the Mersus Tape “the way out” is cryptically symbolic. From your fellow prisoners being based on the Seven Deadly Sins to the exaggerated suicide methods each of the Wraths encountered in their visions. | |

Should you get killed by Sotiris, you will be treated to the lovely sight of rats crowding around you before gnawing at you with some very squicky sounds. You are then taken to a special variant of the game over screen in which the aforementioned twitching eyeball is replaced with a single, pitch black, empty socket.

Eye Scream | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_a2b38d3b | comment |
Eye Scream: Seems to be a theme. The homeless man in the sewer area gouged out his own eyes to appease a “red thing” that was watching him sleep. His model is, obviously, missing them. The game over screen, very prominently, features a red, bloodshot eye twitching violently with blood streaking around it. Sotiris is shown to be lacking eyes, as well. Until he jams a single eye into one of his sockets. Should you get killed by Sotiris, you will be treated to the lovely sight of rats crowding around you before gnawing at you with some very squicky sounds. You are then taken to a special variant of the game over screen in which the aforementioned twitching eyeball is replaced with a single, pitch black, empty socket.

Arc Villain: Each of the major sections uses a single overarching figure to menace the player. The subway uses the Lady Ghost to haunt the player in the darkness, and helping her get over her body-image and abortion guilt issues is the key to escaping. The mines has the dog mimic pursue you viciously, trying to fake you out multiple times. The labs has Sotiris, with his Leaning on the Fourth Wall influence causing him to really mess with the player. The drains have the giant legless Siren. Unsurprisingly, the titular wolf of the Lost Tape titled “The Wolf”. | |

Crazy Homeless People: The first enemy of the game is a homeless man who gouged out his own eyes to appease a “red thing” that came into his room when it thought he was asleep. Judging by some of his journal pages he was already pretty crazy (such as breaking open a television and filling it with rotting meat, then treating the bugs as live programming) even before the tunnels influenced his mind. | |

Hope Spot: Near the end of the opening area, you'll find your dog in the tunnel ahead of you, teasing an early reunion, but as soon as you get close, something drags it off into the darkness. You didn't really think it would be over so quickly, did you? Made lethal in the mine area. To whit, you are looking for your missing dog, and the mine mimic happens to look exactly like him... After making your way through the Nezumi Testing labs and reaching the rear exit you finally catch up with your dog, and the ambience of the area sudden turns peaceful. However, your dog gets swept away by a flood yet again when you open the exit door. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many subtle ones to Silent Hill, both in aesthetic and soundtrack. Just compare the opening them "Broken" to the main theme of the first Silent Hill or the sequel's "Theme of Laura". The talking brains speak like the fetus from P.T., and even give you a similar Hannibal Lecture on your personal failings. The brown bag in the backseat of your car in Dark Mode looks a lot like the talking bag, also like P.T. In an early part of the sewers, you can spot a drawing of White Face from Imscared. The opening features quotes from various old internet horror stories that have naturally lost much of their followings to the passage of time, such as Jeff the Killer. This is likely to intentionally “date” the game as being from years earlier than its actual late 2010s release date and make it feel like it came from an earlier time. Lost Tape #4 is a long reference to Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. Your character wakes up progressively more and more of a cockroach. Unlike the story it references, you are killed by a disgusted human rather than how Gregor killed himself. The shotgun's New Game+ skin is a double-barreled shotgun which an update note states was based on the famous Boomstick from the Evil Dead Series. One of the names in the graffiti in the opening sewer section is ‘Julianne Stingray,’ the full name of the protagonist of VA-11 HALL-A. As mentioned in Easter Eggs, The Backrooms gets a mention, which is notable since they were relatively obscure when the tape first came out. | |

Though it's ultimately Subverted in the case of Bayagototh, in which it's made explicitly clear through it's boss title (Mirage of the Starving God), that the protagonist has only managed to defeat an illusion of the Elder God. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: In spades. There are many parts on the game that are eerily devoid of characters. Many sections of the game have very, very long walks and/or crawls through cramped locations in which absolutely nothing happens. Quite a few sections have simple rooms and locations where you'd expect something to happen, such as a dilapidated bathroom. Yet again, nothing happens. Lost Tapes #2 and #3 end just as shit hits the fan in both of them, leaving it up to the player to fill in the blanks. In the former, the character escapes the asylum only to end up trapped in a room with strange beings, and in the latter, the character burns an idol of Bayagototh while the forest lord is watching. Neither have their fates expanded upon. | |

Animal Testing: The tests in Nezumi Labs. Dr. Bowers, the author of the notes, argued to his colleagues that what they were doing had absolutely no practical applications in medicine or the military and seemed to be sadism for its own sake. He was ignored but he and the other objectors were unable to leave due to how classified it was. Eventually their testing resulted in scientific impossibilities, but these were also useless to any sane person. Dr. Piccini, one of the objectors, eventually went mad and created something that could save the rats (and himself) from the science team, the result being Sotiris. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: Is essentially a slightly more surreal one to Dante's Inferno. The game's supernatural events are proceeded by entering a ominous sewer grate with "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" in graffiti, is set Beneath the Earth, is a continuous downward (figuratively and literally) spiral through increasingly grotesque, nightmarish locales inhabited by tortured souls and nameless horrors, and the protagonist's "guide" is a mysterious character named Virgil. Backing this up are several televisions throughout the game and the lost tapes that display illustrations of Dante and Virgil. | |

Fission Mailed | |
| Lost in Vivo (Video Game) / int_f3f391f6 | comment |
Fission Mailed: The first fight against Shoggoth the Eel King is both unavoidable and unwinnable. You get a fake game over and the game pretends your save was corrupted, before you’re dropped into a save room with your progress preserved. Used again during the sequence where you accidentally kill yourself with bleach and get a game over. You even get to see your own melted corpse on your way through the level again. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight: Any encounter with Shoggoth the Eel King outside of Midnight Mode. The first fight, and the only unavoidable one, results in a Fission Mailed; the rest you get a game over. | |

Non-Malicious Monster | |

Non-Malicious Monster: The ghost girl is said to only be blindly lashing out, and holds no actual ill will towards you. Accordingly she’s also the only one of the major ghosts who actually gets a happy ending, as she’s able to pass on peacefully once she accepts your help. | |
