Deal | Just $4.99 on Steam: Deeply moving indie adventure game with "Very Positive" reviews gets 75% off
Video games, as a medium of storytelling, can do what movies and books can’t: They allow players not only to experience but also to live the narrative. When combined with great writing, smart gameplay, and a worthy soundtrack, a game can leave a mark on your heart. Last Day of June is one such title.
Described as a “deep, interactive adventure” that offers an “intense cinematic experience”, Last Day of June is highly rated and is currently only $4.99 on Steam. This is a steep 75% discount that makes the title a must-play for fans of narrative-driven games.
Last Day of June takes players on a poignant journey through the eyes of Carl, a grieving widower who has lost his wife, June, in a car accident. Throughout the adventure, players try to change the deadly outcome through small decisions. “What would I do to save the one I love?” is the central idea that underpins the gameplay of Last Day of June. Every player decision impacts the outcome of the story. So, whether June lives and Carl’s life takes a turn depends on your choices.
Last Day of June’s visuals and soundtrack are a perfect match for the story it wants to tell. The visuals appear hand-painted, with characters and landscapes that manage to evoke feelings of nostalgia. The game is an achievement in visual storytelling, as, although the characters lack facial features and legible dialogue, players can still feel the emotional weight of the narrative.
Finally, this deeply moving story about love and loss is rather short, as it takes around 4 hours to finish the game.
