Main character, a young woman named Eve receives a letter from her father. He lives alone on an old farm since his wife died. The letter was a disturbing one and seems that her father was talking about some kind of end. Was he talking about ending his own life?

The player leads Eve who must find out what happened to her father and what is the meaning of his words. She hadn't seen him for many years and it wont be easy for her to understand what's going on.
LOCV begins in real world but soon it relocates in fantasy world inhabited with strangest creatures and characters. We can say that our Eve is similar to Alice in Wonderland.

LOCV is using the latest 3D effects and features of your video card such as shader model 2.0 and 3.0, per-pixel lighting with many light sources, normal and parallax mapping and a whole lot of particle effects. These effects have been carefully optimized so users with slower PC-s can enjoy the game to the fullest. And if you have an even slower PC, you can always scale down these effects.
We've chosen to use 2D pre-rendered backgrounds over a full 3D environment to allow high quality images and remain true to the good old adventure game role models
