Anyone who’s read Rivers of London will feel right at home with the intro to Last Stop. Having hilariously stolen a policeman’s helmet, two teens from 1982 try to escape into the London Underground, pursued by cops, where they find a mysterious green-glowing door and an even more mysterious stranger. One steps through, the other holds back.
An adventure from the creators of 2016’s Virginia, Last Stop makes use of a similar flat-shaded Unity-powered aesthetic. While major characters are detailed, background figures have a distressing lack of facial features. Player characters stand stiffly when not controlled, andbump into things a lot when they are. Two characters wear the same shoes, but don’t seem to notice. It’s not all bad though.
