Last Stop is wonderfully atmospheric narrative-driven adventure game, in the style of what some people sometimes called in derogatory terms, 'walking simulators.' As opposed to many walking simulators, this game places you in the role of different characters across three different but ultimately converging stories, all set within a fictional part of London.
Over the course of 6 chapters per story, It gets progressively weirder. We start off in the 70s with some scallywags nicking a copper’s hat, to a trio of kids doing gas and skipping school whilst watching a creepy neighbour, to an 80s inspired Freaky Friday style bodyswap piece to a kitchen sink melodrama featuring a spec-ops government official.
It all reaches inter-dimensional proportions that hold you in thrall…until it goes a bit wonky near the end. But, for the 8 or so hours it is engaging with hints of Twin Peaks, Kolchak and The X-Files.
