Why are there not enough PS5 game consoles in the store? When the OLED model is first released, will the problem of difficulty in obtaining the Switch resurface? Don’t even mention the latest graphics card to us.
In fact, we are draining the planet (in these days, the Spanish power companies are causing droughts so that they can get more money from the electricity bill disaster). However, this topic is rarely narrated as in The Last Survey, which is a slightly playable character written by Nicholas O’Brien, music written by Lewin Kopenhafer, and edited by Essay Games. Short stories.
Released on itch.io a year ago, this work has been launched on Switch’s eShop and Steam, ready to arouse the awareness of crisis among a wider audience at a price of less than 4 euros. This is a short trip to make single-person reading come alive with rocking charcoal-style black and white illustrations and unforgettable melodies.
When you hear that the end of the world as we know it is coming, and your role is the only one who knows and admits this, there is no other way. The geologist had to convey the news and all the evidence on hand to the directors of a multinational mining company headquartered in Brazil. As he knew in advance, the mineable veins had actually been exhausted. The impact of this information goes far beyond the business world, because it is not enough to close companies and fire workers who have been exploited. The report concluded that commercial, territorial and political conflicts will arise due to the scarcity of necessities such as nickel or cobalt for the production of electronic equipment.
The author of this story managed to bring players and readers into the situation in record time, establish an empathetic connection with the protagonist, and make people feel a sense of fear for the seemingly real future. Before entering the office, it only takes a few minutes to feel the sweat on your hands, whether it is material emptiness or non-material emptiness. It only takes a few minutes to share the exact sentence he has to choose, so that he can leave a small impression in the mind of an “extraordinary existence” that is like this—whether in power or mentality. Sense of fear.
These subtle choices are the gameplay conceived by O’Brien in The Last Survey. There are 7 or 8 in total, no more. If you can get to the end of the story, here is a very important “if”, because if you make the “wrong” choice, you may not be able to reach the end. I use quotation marks because I believe that everyone should be able to say whatever they want in this situation-whether you have a way to the end of the story, or whether you might have to start over because of it. .
This should not be interpreted as what they were promoting when they tried to market the work, “the adventure of finding their own ending”, because whether it is going one way or the other will only deviate from a few paragraphs of the text, and then Converge on a calm point, which can be very descriptive. Or, to be more precise, it actually leads to a sudden ending. But there is no real path to follow.
This is a very interesting short story, meticulously written-in refined English, you need to have a high understanding of the language, or if your native language is not English, you have to use a dictionary-spend some time in front of the screen, and then Realize that the world is being destroyed. Oh, and how do you deal with the pressure to tell the truth or save yourself. Because someone has to make a choice. In “The Last Survey”, only you can. Or, not even you.
