What’s Last Stop about? After playing the first few chapters, I’m still not entirely sure – but that’s probably the point. An adventure game in which the plot slowly unfolds through three interconnected stories, it’s initially a slow burner, yet the characters and cliffhangers introduced with each chapter have me completely intrigued – and I’m itching to know how each of them gets resolved.
Made by Variable State and published by Annapurna Interactive, Last Stop is a single-player adventure game releasing on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch this July. It takes place in current-day London, and follows the lives of several average citizens as they go about their everyday lives. Or at least they start that way: things very quickly get spooky as the characters experience supernatural encounters.
Oh, and I should mention this whole game is spectacularly British. If you’re looking for London bottled in a video game, this is it.
