The Last Door - Prologue

The Last Door or the last gate is a graphic adventure horror implemented in 8-bit pixel graphics style. The idea behind pixelated games is to get player focused on the chilling storyline, atmosphere and sound effects rather than to the actual graphic effects. This way you activate the player's brain to fill in the missing gaps and become more interactive with the game itself. Not all pixel-art games are good, but this one really is. The developer is 'Game Kitchen' studio from Spain.

The main concept is that the player's imagination is what produces the fear, not the illustrations. You usually don't see the source of your fears, since the sensation of fear comes from something that actually didn't happen yet or even doesn't exist. This is a sort of an unique experiment that proves how one can get afraid of just a piece of an 8-bit black blob.

Storyline

The story begins in late 19th century in southern England, a time and the place covered with mysteries and conspiracies. Approximate each chapter is to be played for about 30 minutes. As the usual point and click adventures, this one is also filled with puzzles to be solved, objects to combine and exploring things. There are four chapters of the game and they are distributed as individual games. This one here is just a prologue (called The Silence) so you can get familiar with the idea. We will probably add chapters later on. This is a story about a guy who gets worried about his old friend Anthony who seems disappeared. He arrives to his house late at night, and start investigating clues to figure out what could have happened to him.
