Do a writer's last words mean anything to the living? 

A story about death and the (idealization or fear of a possible) future.

This game delves into mourning, loss, mental health, imposter syndrome, the sanitization of art, and the view of art as a product that needs to be palatable. If those subjects interest you, please give it a try.

A word from the author:

I greatly dislike this mindset I’m seeing in the big media we consume nowadays, where everything has to be palatable and understandable and easy to consume. Sometimes stories need villains and conflict and bad decisions. Sometimes games, stories, drawings, and music have to make you think - about yourself, the world, injustice, history, life - or make you uncomfortable and scared and sad.

When we wash that out, slice it up to make it as inoffensive and agreeable as possible, what do we get? Of course, there’s nothing wrong with making something casual and good-feels-only, but I think the problem happens when we cut and remove the ‘uncomfortable’ parts of what we want to make to reach that safe, sanitized goodness.

One Last Story offers several POVs for the same event - the announcement of the death of a small, unknown online writer.

Each chapter of the story has a new narrator with different opinions on the announcement.

...A fan of the author, who met him and got his heart broken.

...The lover of the author, an exhausted caretaker left to pick up the pieces.

...A stranger with no love or attachment.

I respectfully, empathically ask that you interact with this project in good faith. I am showing an IMMENSE amount of vulnerability by posting this to the public, as a survivor. 

NEW: Version 1.2.5 adds the option to invert the game's colors, for those who have a hard time reading white-on-black text. Since it's my first time adding such a feature, I'm uploading it as 'extra' build, in case the changes have broken anything.
