Last Call

I just finish playing and I loved the game , I know this could sound a little weird but I found it because of an Spanish youtuber. And I thought to myself, even if I understand English it would be amazing for it to have an Spanish translation. that was one of the things that went across my mind while playing it, mostly bc I had to translate it to my girlfriend. I really want to do that translation but I don't know anything about programming. Anyways just wanted to say that I really like it. Maybe I may just write a (Microsoft) word and publish it so people that don't understand English can play this with no issue <3 (except with the pronunciation of the words xd)   

thank u so much for making this game <3

Played it.

It is something.

Thanks for making and have a good one.

Thank you for sharing this raw and powerful game!

This was truly an amazing piece! The diary is raw, and you can feel how difficult it was at that time, but I am also rooting from the bottom of my heart for the hole in your heart to get better, just as you plugged the hole in the wall during your work!

I also liked the small items in the luggage and the realistic representation of the room, which was very deviant. There were a lot of Japanese manga and it was fun to sort through the luggage. Chobits is my favorite too!

I also made a video, which you can watch if you like.

I genuinely loved this game. I have never dealt with domestic abuse but I have experienced similar kinds and I know people who have, So on a personal level I related to this game. I also really enjoyed the graphics and overall style of the game. I would definitely play it again!

Inspiring. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for making this. I hear you.

Last Call is a game about packing and unpacking. It feels like the kind of conversation you have with a very close friend or new romantic partner. Intimate, vulnerable. It makes your heart knot up. Reading this poetry and packing what appears to be Nina Freeman's actual stuff is pretty voyeuristic. 

Mechanically you walk around a three-dimensional space and click on boxes that are highlighted. You are then presented with an image of the box's contents and sometimes a piece of prose. You are prompted to speak one of four phrases into your computer's microphone. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter what you say but it does recognize which phrase you used. I think that is the point - it doesn't matter what you say when someone tells you this kind of story. You have to acknowledge it, and maybe that's all that really matters?

While playing, I found myself reflecting on unhealthy relationships I have had. I consider myself fortunate not to have the extremes presented by Last Call in my past. I suspect most people will find parts of Nina's story in their history. "There but for the grace of God go I." 
 
I "know" Nina from her Twitch streams; I'd barely consider myself a regular viewer. As I reflect on this game, I find myself wondering about what it is to interact with creators. There is already an asymmetric relationship with the average Twitch streamer. To them, we're screen names that make bad jokes and make the chat feed scroll. After playing this game, I feel like I should invite Nina and Jake to my next cookout. I imagine this illusion of familiarity will fade, but it is something I think is interesting.

So, what do you say after an experience like this? Good work? It was interesting? Thank you for sharing? I'm sorry that happened? I hope things are better for you now? I don't know. This was a well-crafted experience and worth your time.

Nina's games always feel very personal and raw and Last Call is no different. If you've played Nina's other games like Freshman Year or Cibele then you'll have a good idea of what to expect. Overall, Last Call is a short game with good presentation that respects your time as a player and tells a very personal story.
