Background and release

Lou's Lagoon follows a pilot who responds to a distress call from Uncle Lou and arrives to find the islands ravaged by a storm.

Players pilot a seaplane, use the Swirler multi-tool to gather materials, and help islanders rebuild while uncovering the mystery of Uncle Lou's disappearance.
