The setup
What you are walking into
The Last Time is an adventure game which combines retro graphics and game mechanics with modern nonlinear storytelling. You play as Jack Glover, a retired police officer who has withdrawn from society – until a mysterious phone call starts a series of events which forces him back into the real world. Now, he must face some new challenges: his physical frailty, his ignorance of modern technology, and his fear of connecting with people.
