    The Last Door Season 2 was exactly what I expected it would be. It’s scary, the story is amazing and weird, the music is beautiful, and overall, it was just a wonderful series.

    A great second half for a great graphic adventure. If you love classic horror you cannot miss it… unless you’re allergic to huge pixels.

    With a script that could have easily come from the haunted pen of H.P. Lovecraft, a haunting, minimalist string soundtrack by Carlos Viola and a genuine understanding of what constitutes true, primal terror, The Game Kitchen brilliantly concludes The Last Door’s narrative with an adventure that will richly reward players looking past the ultra-retro presentation.

    If Lovecraft and Poe could play The Last Door, they would be delighted by its remarkable atmosphere. [05/2016, p.44]

    Even if it looks like it came from the Commodore 64 era, the second season of The Last Door is a chilling adventure with a haunting soundtrack. It is a Lovecraftesque journey from mental asylums to opium dens, a proper horror game that refrains from using cheap scare tactics.

    Anyone interested in horror, Lovecraft, or top-notch point-and-click adventures has no excuse for missing this one.

    Its puzzles may be a bit lackluster but you’ll be too busy unraveling its dark secrets and conspiracies, worrying whether your character will survive the episode and terrified by the sudden sounds coming from next door to notice. Whether as feature film, TV series or episodic game, it matters little: bring on Season 3.

    The Last Door opens up another suspenseful, extremely retro-styled exploration of Victorian England and the occult with a second season even better than the first.

Season 2 is clearly quite inferior to Season 1. Yet most of the reviews here seem to think there is little difference. I know opinions on games are subjective but in this case I think some objectivity is possible.

    Season 1 works because of a great atmosphere that is in large part created by the excellent music. The story was also intriguing.

    Season 2 fails miserably in all of these areas. It's like the developer was inspired and made Season 1, but then didn't really have any ideas for the continuation but just made the game just to continue.

    Season 2 quickly becomes boring. The music is nowhere near as good as in the first season, and I can see how it would be hard to match in this followup. The atmosphere is gone and it seems like the developer decided that since they couldn't recreate the music and atmosphere of the first game, they would just make it an ordinary puzzle game. Even worse, the puzzles are idiotic and annoying.

    I saw somewhere that people were inquiring about a possible season 3, and that the developer responded with something like: "We might in the future, but right now we want to do something else." It came across as if they were saying they were bored with that and out of ideas right now. Well, I can tell you that they must have been bored with the game and out of ideas when they did season 2, because that is definitely the impression I got while playing the game.    … Full Review »
