Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a game by Rhianna Pratchett originally released as a Google Stadia exclusive in 2020 before receiving a multiconsole release in April 2021. It talks about the power of storytelling, and how art can help one cope with events beyond our control.Isabel "Izzy" Cook likes writing in her journal, as well as adding drawings, and spending time with her Gran. She has always wanted to be a writer, and so decides to write a fantasy story.You choose the name of your player character, of The Chosen One as a guardian of fireflies in her village. This girl can go around collecting fireflies and assumes being a guardian will be easy. One night, however, a dragon attacks, burns down the village, and steals the fireflies. With the former guardian Elder Ava out of commission, our player character needs to go on a quest to find the dragon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Despite Izzy's efforts to be good, Gran dies. Izzy ends up in a bad Heroic BSoD, ignoring her family and losing her ability to finish the story. Attending Gran's funeral lets her hear how Gran helped everyone in her life, bringing joy and happiness. This allows Izzy to finish the story. As an adult, she says revisiting her journal reminds her how she used the power of stories to cope with her loss, and hopes to pass on the joy to her daughter. Her mother is now a grandmother, showing there's loss and rebirth.

Adorably Precocious Child: Izzy is a talented watercolorist, as shown by the drawings in her journal, and she writes a fairly tight story for a preteen. One can hope that she submitted a version to a British contest or such.

World-Healing Wave

comment
The player character cannot stop the dragon from ending the world. In fact, the dragon is very apologetic when explaining it is not about what he wants, and he would rather not do it. He does, however, give her a hint about how to undo the damage, and the whale shark paves the rest of the way. The player character uses the fireflies to create a World-Healing Wave, which restores everyone to life but the previous Guardian of Fireflies, and it's implied Lump loses her memories of befriending the player character. Taking time to grieve, the player character promises to remember Elder Ava forever, and continue her story. She looks at the player and tells them life will be okay, no matter what happens, and you can always choose your ending.

Badass Pacifist: The player character doesn't have the strength or power necessary to beat down her opponents. She can use words to blow them away or pacify them in various stages, sometimes even talking them down.

Bait-and-Switch: It seems like the player character's story is straightforward: rescue the fireflies, stop a firebreathing dragon, and befriend everyone in the world, a typical hero's journey. You only succeed with rescuing fireflies and befriending those you meet along the way; the dragon explains it's not evil, but necessary chaos to end the world. The Guardian had to meet him not to stop him but to learn how to restore the world and start anew.

Art Shift: The game shifts from two-dimensional watercolor drawings that Izzy draws in her journal to the three-dimensional graphics where the player character navigates.
