🚂 A murder on the Orient Express… a mystery in real-time… and a video game that vanished before most people ever knew it existed.
The Last Express (1997) was one of the most ambitious games of its time: a historical thriller set entirely aboard a moving train, playing out in real-time, with rotoscoped animation and a branching narrative driven by your every move. And yet, despite its groundbreaking ideas and critical acclaim, the game flopped. Badly.
In this video, I dive deep into the game that got away:
— Its troubled development
— The bold design choices (and the ones that didn’t age well)
— Why it failed commercially
— And why it still deserves a place in gaming history
If you ever loved point-and-click adventures, Agatha Christie stories, or beautiful artistic failures, this one’s for you.
