Devitt receives a letter that starts him on a journey to find a childhood
friend, but it goes so much deeper than he had ever thought. This is the
concept behind Game Troopers’ The Last
Door, an episodic point-and-click horror adventure game that has been
released on Windows phones as a Universal Windows App, meaning that gamers will
be able to purchase the game on their Windows PC or phone, and immediately have
access to it on either device.
Players will
control Devitt through a pixel-art world that is brought to life by the
imagination of those playing it. The studio has said that “by using
the pixels to its advantage, it can hide strange shapes in the shadows and
leave the horrific imagining to” the player. Adding to this is the soundtrack,
which the studio describe as “exquisite”, and according to those that have
played The Last Door, it lives up to
that statement. To explore the world of the game, players will have to pick up
items they find, combine them with each other, and use them to interact with
the environment and solve puzzles.
Only by solving these puzzles will Devitt be able to make his way
through “a story that usually poses more questions than answers.” In
this respect, the studio consider their game similar to TV shows, as it will
aim to end each episode with players wanting to know more. Without spoiling
anything, this story begins without a manor of many secrets, before leading
onto mysteries of the occult.
The Last Door is available on Mac, Linux and
now both Windows PC and phones. For a taster, the first episode of Season One,
“The Letter”, can be play on the game’s website once registered. Or, The Last Door: Collector’s Edition,
which contains the first four episodes, can purchased for $2.99 USD from the
Windows Store. Get in touch with the studio or keep an eye on game updates on
Twitter.
