Summary[ | ]
The Last Night is a 2.5D cinematic adventure game, forging ahead on the path established by the greats such as Another World, Flashback and the Oddworld series. Set in a rich post-cyberpunk world, the game is aiming to update the vision seen in “Blade Runner” or “Ghost in the Shell”, while establishing a new standard for immersive pixel art.
Plot[ | ]
The Last Night immerses you in the everyday life of Charlie, a second-class citizen living in a city brimming with augmentation and citizens living a gamified existence — none of which Charlie can experience himself due to a childhood accident. Apathetic and disheartened by the seemingly pointless world around him, Charlie is presented with an opportunity to take matters into his own hands. But at what risk?
