\"The<\/p>\n

The Last Door<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is a unique point-and-click adventure game inspired by the literary works of such authors as H.P. Lovecraft<\/strong> and Edgar Allan Poe<\/strong>. The game features a pixelated style of art designed to encourage the player\u2019s imagination, much like reading a book. The story unfolds chapter-by-chapter, and today we take a brief look at what the first two chapters have in store.<\/p>\n

Chapter 1 – The Letter<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Videte ne quis sciat.”<\/em><\/p>\n

After receiving a cryptic letter from an old friend, Jeremiah Devitt finds himself filled with uneasy questions. The letter contains a Latin phrase that was used between his colleagues at their old boarding school, which tips him off that this is a rather important situation. He follows the instructions set forth to journey to this friend\u2019s manor, where more information is promised him. Upon arrival, however, Jeremiah finds the manor deserted. With doors and windows left open and food rotting on the table, it seems as if the occupants had fled in a panic. Jeremiah begins carefully investigating the darkened hallways to uncover the mysteries surrounding his friend\u2019s letter and the deserted manor.<\/p>\n

Chapter 2 – Memories<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Nostra culpa in finita est.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The boarding school that Jeremiah and his colleagues attended sets the stage for the events in Chapter 2, although Jeremiah quickly discovers that it is now a place run by nuns to care for the physically and mentally ill. Jeremiah is given permission to revisit the halls of his former school, and so begins to look for answers and attempts to unlock lost memories that he hopes will shed light upon recent events.<\/p>\n

Development Diary – Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n

In The Last Door<\/em>, sound is as much a character as protagonist Jeremiah Devitt or any NPC. The music is created alongside development, and sometimes is the driving force behind the creation of the game itself, guiding the artists with auditory inspiration. The Collector\u2019s Edition will feature better sound quality and more instruments than the original, bringing this dark world to life even more than before.<\/strong><\/p>\n
