Remember when I told you how The Last Door was getting a second season? Well, it’s coming sooner than I expected, which is a very good thing. In approximately three weeks, the spooky saga continues with its fifth chapter, but until then… we’ll have to make do with a taste of things to come.
That is, if you’re a Kickstarter backer/premium member because otherwise you’ll have to wait like everyone else for October 31. I’d say forking over €15 (~$19) to gain such access is well worth it though, as it lets you play every last chapter immediately as they’re released. Oh, and you get beta access too (the Chapter 5 beta starts on October 10). Note: the first four chapters are free to play, meaning that its creator has made quite a sizeable ‘demo’ available, in case you’re part of the try-before-you-buy crowd.
As has always been the case with The Last Door, beta testing isn’t simply about finding bugs and helping The Game Kitchen polish its creation ahead of launch; there’s also the possibility of getting to ‘leave your mark’ on an in-game object, as it were. Something like that’s obviously not equally important to everyone, but I’d be surprised if there weren’t at least a few out there, to whom such would appeal. And hey, if not that, then… there’s always bug hunting. Fewer bugs do mean a smoother launch after all, which – in theory – translates to slightly better reviews, and in the end, higher sales figures. Hopefully.
Anyway, a quick recap: beta testing of The Last Door Chapter 5 begins on October 10 (for premium members/Kickstarter backers), and the full version will be released on October 31 (again, premium/backers only). So for now, what say ya fire up The Eyeless Mask? If you’ve finished season 1 that is, because otherwise, chances are the story won’t make a lot of sense; hence the whole season/episode stuff.
