Last Stop is a supernatural adventure video game developed by Variable State and published by Annapurna Interactive for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Gameplay
Last Stop is a third-person game, where players control one of three main characters, by deciding what they should say and performing a variety of minigame interactions.

Plot
In 1980s London, teenage friends Peter Hale and Samantha steal a bobby's helmet from an officer and escape into the tunnels of the London Underground. Taking a service tunnel, they are surprised to find an oddly well-dressed man mysteriously awaiting their arrival. After introducing himself as Frank, he opens a nearby door onto a green portal, offering the two teenagers the opportunity to 'step inside'; further warning that 'time is running out. Samantha accepts while Peter hesitates. A disappointed Frank says his goodbyes and enters the portal, the door shutting behind him. The pursuing bobbies arrive seconds later, opening the door to find nothing but a wall; the portal, along with Samantha and Frank, gone without a trace.

The game then jumps to 2020s London, covering three stories:

"Paper Dolls" John Smith, a middle-aged father to daughter, Molly Smith, and Jack Smith (no relation), a young programmer that lives in a nearby building but otherwise unrelated, find their bodies switched after a run-in with the same older man in the Underground.

"Domestic Affairs" Meena Hughes is a high-level agent with an intelligence firm run by an elderly Peter Hughes. She is screened for an important mission, but Peter also brings in Amy Ng, a relatively new employee, as a second possible candidate.

"Stranger Danger" Donna Adeleke is a teenage student living with her mom, Tamara Adeleke, her sister, Emma Adeleke, and Emma's fiancée, Aisling Fisher. While hanging with her schoolmates Vivek Chowdhry and Becky Kim, they spot a handsome man whom Vivek claims to see take people into his house but has never seen them leave.

The three stories converge in the final chapter. Meena lands hard on an alien planet but is saved by Irving, an alien that guides her to a large settlement. Donna is escorted by the stranger on a train to the same settlement, and when another alien pesters the man about Donna, he uses his powers to cause the alien to disappear, which Donna sees and realizes that he has done that to her friends and family. John arrives and finds Frank who apologizes about the swap and gives him a bracelet to undo it. All three converge onto the council chambers, however, Donna becomes scared about being with the stranger and impales him with a sword. The three are taken prisoner and held on trial, where they are sentenced to death. Meena uses an explosive on her suit to distract the guards so the three escape the judgement arena and they end up crashing into a pub where they find an elderly Samantha. Samantha helps to hide them and explains that she doesn't want to go back since she has made a life here. Samantha explains how they can return to Earth, and after distracting the guards protecting the portal, the three return safely.

The player then has an option to resolve each story with two choices. For John, either John can decide to swap bodies, or otherwise continue to live out his life in Jack's younger body. For Donna, a ghost of the stranger appears and offers her a contract by which he will return all those he took from her in exchange for Donna having to join him forever after she dies, or otherwise continue to be alone. For Meena, she lies to Peter about Samantha's fate, and Peter feels all his work to now has been for naught. As to punish Meena, he shows her images from the shootout between Spider and Amy, revealing he had been manipulating her all along. Meena can either quietly accept a lower position in the company but otherwise protect herself and her family from any repercussions, or she can quit and take the fall for the murders.
