Before The Last Door I just finished Blackwell series, there are 5 pixelated point and click games with bittersweet noire atmosphere and top notch voiceover. The Last Door fades in comparison with them although I really love Poe's novels.
I finished The Last Door, though the nightmare of getting two last achievements is ahead. That superfast nun... Oh my god.
I have no problems with imagination and I like pixel graphics, but the visualisation here is so poor that I can't distinguish items in the background, I've never seen this low level of detalisation before. Probably even Home is better, and it speaks volumes. Nevertheless the music and sounds are amazing, they made me feel the atmosphere of gothic novel! Sound puzzles are unconditional andantage of this game.
The references to works of Poe and Lovecraft look sketchy, not so deep as I expected, or other way round - completely taken from the book, for example The Black Cat by Poe. That was disappointing, I have a dream to see something new in his beautiful style someday.
In general The Last Door is not half bad, thank you for encouraging me to play it!
I also love these several moments which someone can call jumpscares (the crows inside, rabbits, a couple from the picture), but they were not foolishly surprising as usual in modern games, they were interesting and creative. I think episode 1 is the best, the 2nd one is too crowded to my taste when it comes to horrors. :P London in episode 3 was awesome, so authentic! Later the plot grows to something much bigger than a little horror story, I was hoping for clear ending which explains everything, but there is no full picture in the end, the story continues in season 2. That's unfair. :c
This game somehow reminds me of Masochisia. It is also a psychological horror, more reading than playing, it has somewhat similar vibes I think. Or not. It's just my thought.
