Development and release
Lost in Harmony was the first game developed by French developer Digixart Entertainment. It was first revealed on 18 September 2015 at Tokyo Game Show. It was released for iOS on 20 January 2016 and for Android on 4 February. On Android, part of the game is offered for free due to significant online piracy, while for both platforms additional game content was offered via in-app purchases. The game would be considered successful if it reached 100 000 downloads according to co-founder and director Yoan Fanise. In 2017, the game became free-to-play on iOS. Versions for Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows were published by Playdius on 21 June 2018. The Japanese version was published by Worker Bee Inc.

TouchArcades Shaun Musgrave felt the gameplay to be lacking but the presentation to be overwhelming enough for recommendation. VentureBeat found the game trying "to be too many things at once", but praise genuine and heartfelt moments. Gamezebos Jason Faulkner similarly thought the game elements did not come together cohesively. William Audureau of Le Monde criticized story's themes as clumsy. The game was nominated at France's Ping Awards 2016 for best mobile game and best soundtrack.
