The Last Door (Season 1) is a Lovecraftian point-and-click adventure/horror game developed by The Game Kitchen and released in 2014. In this review I talk about the similarities the game shares to the writing that it was heavily inspired by from American horror author H. P. Lovecraft.

While it is similar to games like Scratches, The Last Door carves out its own identity through a unique art style and a closely adapted narrative style. How does it compare to other Lovecraftian games such as STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl and Penumbra: Overture? Watch the video to find out.
