Reddit’s r/games sub have been discussing the new launch from indie developer
Punk Notion, praising the game’s story, visuals and narrative prowess, touting it as a must-play narrative exploration game.

The Last Show of Mr Chardish will see you play as an actress returning to a theatre, unfolding a delicate and enthralling mystery with a focus on creating a dream-like atmosphere.

“Decades have passed and the Actress, Ella, returns to the abandoned theatre to uncover a preserved collection of extraordinary performances. Explore a variety of magical, hand-painted worlds as you collect the lost pieces of the past,” says the official game description.

“With each play you will explore a new, incredible scenography, fully painted in VR. Each performance tells the story of different characters, with individual gameplay mechanics and a unique closure. Be a robot escaping a factory or a little, boastful musketeer – every role you take is a medium for emotional experiences of the Director.”

Reddit user Tiako sang the game’s praises on the subreddit, commending the title on its narrative design and story.

“There is nothing in here quite as jaw dropping as the Lewis section of Edith Finch,” said the gamer. “But I actually liked this game more (Edith Finch sort of left me cold and I don’t think it all came together, while this does).”

A free prologue, The Last Show of Mr Chardish: Act I, is available to download right now if you’re keen to check out a taster of the game for yourself, though the full game will set you back a mere £11.39 GBP.
