Murder On The Rotoscoped Express | The Last Express (PC)
9,108#retrogaming #gamereview #adventuregame
The Last Express is a 1997 point-and-click adventure created by Jordan Mechner. Set on the Orient Express in 1914, just days before the outbreak of World War I.
The game was co-written by Tomi Pierce, whom I failed to mention in the video (and I should be punished for my crime), but she was a great writer, R.I.P.
The Last Express is probably best recognized by its rotoscoped style and extreme attention to historical detail, neither of which was cheap to produce and essentially bankrupted the developer, Smoking Car Productions. These are the kinds of games I live for, so let's take a journey across Europe.
