Near the harbor impregnated with dampness and shrouded in a foggy gloomy City of Lost Children, in a castle on the seashore there is a scientist-maniac called Krank, prematurely aged due to a complete inability to sleep. By order of Krank his assistants - Cyclops kidnap the children and drag them into a gloomy laboratory where the villain scientist turns their dreams into their own. But because of the terrible fear of his children, he only sees their nightmares. In search of the missing younger brother in the City comes the circus strongman One. He is helped by the brave nine-year-old girl Miette. The City Of Lost Children is created on the motives of the surreal French film Jean-Pierre Junet and Mark Caro with the same name. Karo participated in creating the game helping to create a horrible atmosphere for the developers of the city and its surroundings.

Characters
Let's start with a short description of the main characters that you will have to meet during the adventure.
- Miette - The main heroine of the game, a 12-year-old girl from the city's orphanage, stealing jewelry for the Headmistress - Pieuvre. It's not that sweet as it looks. Stubborn, persistent, accustomed to a wandering street life girl.
- One - This is a good giant, works in a circus strongman, tears chains and all that stuff. Searches for his missing brother Denree, kidnapped by Cyclops.
- Pieuvre - The director of the orphanage, "consisting" of two sisters - Siamese twins. She's nasty, spiteful and greedy, forcing young children to steal in the streets for her.
- Pelade - Lazy old henchman of the headmistress, who hates her with all her heart, however she loves no more children. It is unlikely that he chose the right job.
- Boule - A little boy who lives in an orphanage. Boule is one of the few children who will not disappear anywhere. He is such a boy that he does not give anything to anyone unless he receives something in return.
- Watchman - Protects the area in the quay area. A real grudge, hating the children, staggering around. He catches them and locks them in the warehouse, if possible.
- Tramp - You will meet this old drunkard if you fall on the arm of Watchman, and he will hide you in the warehouse.
- Cyclopses - These strange people roam the streets and catch children. They see not with their eyes, but with special optical devices, but their ears hear loud sounds.
- Diver - Living in a cave in the ocean, this eccentric "man" is looking for treasures on the ocean floor. He has bright colorful nightmares related to the kidnapping of children.
- Lune - She works in docks, but certainly not a longshoreman. This "lady of the night" sits in a bar and looks out for another client. Alas, and ah!
