It’s not exactly the most original setup, to say the least.īut tropes are tools, so if these elements are used well enough, they can still make for an entertaining story. And of course, per a lot of body-switching stories, the two are almost comical opposites: John is a balding older guy in a dead-end job with a recent heart attack struggling with finances and a dead wife but has a daughter they love with all of their heart, while Jack is a young single man in his twenties who’s healthy, lives in a luxurious apartment, has a gig as an artist, is a bit rude, you get the idea. During a commute in which both cross paths, they bump into a man who becomes mad at them, cursing them by saying “You two were made for each other” and causing them to switch bodies. “Paper Dolls” centers on John Smith, a middle-aged man who finds his mail constantly getting mixed up with a nearby, similarly-named Jack Smith. But let’s look at each tale in the order of left to right from these selection screens… Sadly, the order in which you play them doesn’t affect anything at all, so the option seems pointless.

There are occasional mini-games like throwing bottles, playing piano or performing a full first-person investigation like a traditional adventure game, but those are few and far between and don’t add much.Įach of our three protagonists has their own story with six chapters each, plus a final chapter for all of them, and in between each round of three chapters, you select the order to play the new chapters in for these stories. You just head towards the next story beat. There’s nothing in its world to interact with as you move and nothing off the beaten path to explore. There’s basically nothing to talk about here when it comes to gameplay as it’s all driven by dialogue prompts with three different choices and a bunch of “walking simulator” moments.

Last Stop is a narrative-focused adventure game set in present-day London, focusing on the stories of three different characters. It felt like it was getting the middle child treatment, which was sad, because a lot of promise could be seen in this little anthology-esque adventure. Which was odd to me, because it looked neat, seemed to have some entertaining hooks, and was Variable’s latest project followed their award-winning game Virginia. The last time I had reported on Last Stop, the latest graphic adventure game from developers Variable State, I noted that it didn’t seem to be getting as much attention when compared to other games being published by Annapurna Interactive.
