Description

Lost Files 1978 drags you into a classified government facility where something went horribly wrong during the Cold War. Developed and published by DataGames Studios for release in 2026, this action adventure horror shooter casual game puts you in the role of a whistleblower who stumbles upon a secret research project. The facility is abandoned, but not empty. Twisted creatures patrol the corridors, and the security system has gone haywire. Your only weapons are a pistol, a flashlight, and your wits. The game uses a retro aesthetic with grainy filters and period appropriate technology, like cassette tapes and CRT monitors.

The latest version of the game introduces a tape rewinding mechanic that lets you replay past events to find clues you missed. Action combat is tense and ammo scarce, rewarding headshots and stealth. Horror is atmospheric, relying on sound design and flickering lights rather than cheap jump scares. Shooter mechanics are straightforward, with a small arsenal of authentic 1970s firearms. Adventure exploration reveals notes, photographs, and reel to reel recordings that piece together the facility dark purpose. Casual difficulty reduces enemy damage and increases ammo drops. For fans of retro horror and survival shooters, you can download the game on PC and consoles.

Installation Guide

Step-by-step setup process for P2P

The game is distributed already pre-installed — you will not find an installer here, and none is needed.
Unpack the RAR/ZIP archive with WinRAR or 7-Zip, for example to C:\Games\GameName.
Launch the game via Run Me!.bat or the main .exe inside the extracted folder.

Having trouble launching the game?

Check these common causes before troubleshooting further.

Do not run the game straight from the archive — unpack it fully first; this alone prevents most launch failures.
Install the Visual C++ and DirectX packages from the Redist / _CommonRedist folder if the game does not start.
Add the game folder to antivirus / Defender exclusions and run the game as administrator.
