I hate to neg on a game too hard when it's apparent a small team put a lot of time and effort into it, but I found The Last Show of Mr. Chardish incredbily dull and lifeless. The primary thing to making a decent walking sim is that the walking part of the game is at least interesting. Some of the first person environments were pretty nice looking, but 75% of this game are the play "vignettes" which I honestly found …

The Last Show of Mr Chardish is an excellent narrative style game with delightful hand painted watercolour graphics. It tells the story of Robert Chardish and the female protagonist Ella who co-founded a theatre in the British countryside. Their relationship and successes and failures are revealed as Ella wanders through the now abandoned theatre. The obsessive ambition of Robert and the blurring of real life and …

Very Edith Finch-inspired walking sim set around an old theater after the death of its featured playwright; as you explore, you'll find various masks, each of which sends you into a fantasy world inspired by one of the plays, with each world having its own distinct gameplay mechanics. Not nearly as good as Edith Finch, unsurprisingly (the "plays" feel very little like anything that could have been performed on a …

This is a short walking sim (2 hours) that tells a story of a provincial theater director who... well, I won't spoil anything but let me just say it's a very good story that really engaged me from start to finish and left me in a very different mood than I started with. Highly recommended. The only problem for me was a strange bug: the items you interact with and interface elements didn't disappear when I put the …

It's...decent. But what 'The Last Show of Mr. Chardish' aspires to be is *poignant*, like 'What Remains of Edith Finch'. It doesn't get there, or anywhere close, but it is a decent story of a flawed man told through decently clever metaphorical plays, with actually really good art direction and not-bad (but not great) voice acting. For the genre of story-focused walking simulators, it's above average but not a …

Then The Last Show of Mr. Chardish is for you. Not all games about battle royales/PVP, having impossible challenges during platforming/parkour games, etc. Story oriented games could be called a niche genre, mainly created to adults because of their deep thoughts. These games offer much lower playtime…

neutral · AI labelView post →The Last Show of Mr. Chardish is a story with multiple layers and is made up of a central framework with 5 very distinct 'mini-adventures.' The sound track is enjoyable and the voice acting well done. The primary story is played from a first person perspective and is much like a walking simulator, exploring an old theater. You are Ella, an actress returning to your history at the request of Mr. Chardish (a person you worked closely with in your past). You walk through the ruins of the theater,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the idea, but the excecution is very flat. This game has a bit of an identity crisis. It wants to present a metaphorical, artistic narrative but then gets lost in incredibly basic and repetitive non puzzle-platforming. It's not gameplay focused, but still tries to have some gameplay, then doesn't deliver on the strong aesthetic presentation something like this would need to work. There is this neat brushstroke texture design style, but it starts and ends there. Evoking emotion…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am changing my review to recommended since I was able to figure out how to finish Chapter 4 from another reviewer’s tips. So, let’s start over. This game has absolutely beautiful graphics and music and the voice acting was very well done. The story was moving and kept my interest as it was conveyed through notes and recordings and as the characters’ thoughts as you move through the game. The gameplay changes with the different theater plays you explore in each chapter. Almost all of it…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game tells the story of Ella. A distinguished actress who, after many years, returns to the run-down theater which she once ran with her close friend. It's a sentimental journey of sorts, reminiscing about their former friendship and the events that led to its demise. While the game is a rather interesting narrative and artistic experiment, in my opinion, it's also unfortunately a triumph of style over substance. From a promising story, it became just another tale of rage-induced…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"When you are on stage, even the light feels heavy." The Last Show of Mr. Chardish is a narrative-driven walking simulator with simple puzzle elements. And it was such a delight to play! We play as Ella, an aging actress who returns to an abandoned theater where she used to work with Robert Chardish, "a brilliant playright, actor and theater director". As we explore the place, we discover all kind of documents and objects that tell us more about the life at the theater and the different…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Punk Notion created some art with this game. The enviroments are beautiful. The puzzles levels are in diffirent styles, so it is not repetitive and you play with diffirent characters. I really got sucked into the sturoy so much that I just kept playing. There is nothing bad to say about The Last Show of Mr. Chardish. It is a good puzzle game with a story for a good price. Here is my first hour of gameplay: https://youtu.be/73QzFglhF8U

I was expecting more, it's cute yes and the story is interesting, but i was expecting much more out of it. the ending doesn't give much either. I can't even say that if you like puzzle it's the game for you, because only one chapter offers it, that one kept me awake , the other ones are just going from a to b. I'm glad i got it on sale, maybe i'll go through it again to 100% the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can seriously recommend this indie game for everyone, who loves to see a wholesome beautiful piece of art! As you make your way through the theatric pieces of the game, you encounter different settings, with slightly different designs and mechanics. Each of them looking beautiful and interesting, the graphic design well done, the story well written, the music very fitting and soothing and everything overall just very captivating. I really enjoyed the characters and their voice acting as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a pretty easy recommendation for those who enjoyed narrative games like Gone Home or What Remains of Edith Finch. The framing of the game is you, playing the actress Ella as she wanders through a dilapidated theater, reading notes, listening to audio logs and soaking up the atmosphere as you learn about the titular playwright. This is interrupted by third person adventure segments representing Chardish's plays. None of it is complicated, but the use of video game mechanics effectively…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game reminded me of one I played a long time ago, and since then I’ve been looking for something similar. I stumbled upon this by chance, and it turned out to be really fun. The stories are engaging, and I loved that each one had its own unique idea without any annoying repetition.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have mixed feelings about this one, though I got it on sale and would only recommend this to someone who really would be impressed by the art style alone and is easily impressed by a shallow sentimental story. It does deliver the kind of magical atmosphere that is promised. It is a walking simulator with the usual picking up notes and recordings as you move through these environments. Mini games are scattered about, which add the second perspective of the romantic partner and I guess add…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're into story-driven games that are short but sweet and if you're a bit of an art lover, I can highly recommend this game. - Wonderful soundtrack - A quality story told through different levels/theatre plays you go through - Gameplay that isn't just walking around like similar 'walking simulator' games have: keeps you engaged in the story

You recommended me 1000xResist [which I love!] - & if you fancy something meaningful, The Last Show Of Mr Chardish slipped way under the radar, and became one of my favourite games ever.

Experience a complex relationship in the context of 5 "plays" (mini-levels), each with different mechanics and message. It's all revealed and conveyed very well and fits together nicely. If you like "touching" and "heartfelt" vibes similar to "To the Moon", then you'll probably like this also. I'd never heard of the game, and just bought it based on the description, but very glad I did. Give this a shot if you're even somewhat…

What sets this experience apart is its dreamlike quality and the well-designed puzzles in between. If you are a theatre or drama enthusiast, this could be an additional reason to take a closer look at this game.

Players step into the role of Ella, an actress returning to the abandoned venue after…

I didn't care much about the rest before that. I originally thought there were more & different puzzles in the trailer video; that was a long time ago...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm giving this a thumbs up because it was quite different than other "walking simulator" type games I have played. Navigating through each of the plays was clever and the colorful visuals are appealing. The story is interesting... about relationships and how they change. There are some minor bugs, I hit a graphics glitch when flying too high once and I also fell through the world once jumping around in the final act, but I am willing to forgive those because the overall experience is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was an interesting and quirky experience. I liked the combination of two extremely different art styles and from first to third person gameplay. The art style for the third person part of the game is an acquired taste that I'm not a fan of but it can be overlooked. The story is creative and oddly poetic, but you only begin to understand the latter when you've come relatively far into the game. All in all, it was a decently fun experience. However, the controls for the bird are ridiculously…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a delightful, beautiful game! It's not meant to be challenging (though I haven't yet found all the collectibles in any of the sections), but the puzzles were still engaging and I did want to know what was happening with the characters and work out their story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its kind of a mixed bag; the art-style was hit or miss, some of it was really nice and other scenes a bit too messy for my taste. Its a bit too abstract and I would have liked more narrative. That being said the game-play what little there was, was enjoyable enough. Overall I would recommend it but just about. Its super short though so wait for a sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game truly is a masterpiece. The way the plays are told in hand painted ways really hit harder then I thought. I was so pleasantly surprised by the adventure I was brought on. Pros: - Nice simple peaceful game - The story is very good and told quite well and creatively - The play sections are both unique in art and game play Cons: - Not a ton of challenge - It is a bit short - Without going for the extra content you will lose some impact-full story pieces I must say that sometimes it…
