Quoth The Raven: The Last Door:
Having only just stumbled across The Last Door, my brain is now in full-on, code-red “pleasebegoodpleasebegoodpleasebegood” mode. The successfully crowdfunded episodic horror adventure aims to plant a hardy oak of pure dread somewhere between the sleeping soils of Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft, setting its tale in late 19th century England. It may not look like much, but that’s actually one of the more intriguing parts of the project: its creators want to focus on crafting imagination-evoking atmosphere over punch-you-in-the-face imagery, so the visuals are being kept deliberately simple. The end result? Sound’s absolutely key, and it’s intoxicatingly lush. There’s a brief playable prologue over on Last Door’s website. I definitely recommend you give it a go.
