10. One Last Game
We all know the simple game of checkers. Move your pieces, take your opponent's pieces... easy. One Last Game is just that, a game of checkers.
Okay well, maybe it's not just that.
One Last Game, at face value is a simple game of checkers. Graphically simple, and easy in concept, you sit opposite an opponent and play checkers with them, but something feels off. Before long, the music becomes less leisurely, and the game less fun as what sound like bombs seem to start falling outside. The lone light in the room flickers, creating periodic moments of darkness, and the impact from the explosions displaces the pieces on the board. You start to realise that the game at hand is not all that important, and that something far worse is going on outside. The game is merely a distraction.
Whilst the experience is short - roughly three minutes - and there isn't much gameplay to partake in, the sheer atmosphere of One Last Game is impressive to say the least. It turns a simple game into a genuinely gut-wrenching experience that will keep you on edge throughout the entire time you spend playing. The falling of the bombs becomes more frequent, someone starts to bang on the door to the room and the once silent and eerie tone becomes loud, aggressive and almost violent. All whilst you play One Last Game of checkers.
