Last Call

Description: You quit the office the day your boss calls you furniture in front of thirty people. Then a lawyer rings: your late uncle left you The Tidemark, a bar on Harbour Row, and the loan on it. The man buying up the street is your old boss. Every woman on Harbour Row has her own story and her own pace. You can see more than one of them at a time. Keep your secrets, if you can. How it plays: - Five parts to every day, on a painted map of the harbour quarter. Work the bar, train at the gym, find people where they are. - Trust and Heat for every woman. The deeper scenes need both. - A main story in twelve chapters against the man buying your street, released in parts. - The loan wants a payment every Sunday night. Miss one and the pressure rises, but the game never ends. - How you answer pressure (give way, joke, stand firm, walk away) shapes who you become. The secrets you keep can catch up with you. - Your phone's Plans app always says who to find, where and when. - No final choice and no game over. You can see more than one woman at a time. - Autosave and ten save slots. Saves stay in your browser. The women: Seren, the bartender; Kaela, who owns the boxing gym across the street; Maren, the developer's wife; Lys and Nadia, who dance at the bar on weekends. More join as the story goes on. Content: explicit sex between consenting adults, infidelity, consensual BDSM and power play, group sex, alcohol, fist fights. Scenes between men and a crossdressing character only if you turn them on in the settings (off by default). All characters are 18 or older. The game opens with an 18+ screen that lists these themes.
