First loves. Family issues. Yokai. 'Last Time I Saw You' is a coming-of-age adventure set in 1980s Japan. Explore a haunted forest hiding a terrible secret, and interact with a vast cast of friendly and deceitful characters in this beautifully hand-drawn story with some light action elements.
Players can freely explore the various areas and buildings of the richly detailed town of Amatsu. Ayumi can walk, run, jump, and use his baseball bat to interact with the environment. The smooth and responsive controls make exploration an enjoyable experience.
The core of the gameplay revolves around completing quests and interacting with the game's diverse cast of characters. Quests range from helping townspeople with their problems to investigating the supernatural occurrences in the area. Dialogue choices allow players to shape Ayumi's relationships and responses, adding depth to the storytelling.
While the gameplay is primarily focused on exploration and narrative, there are some light action elements. Players can use Ayumi's baseball bat to fend off minor supernatural enemies or interact with certain objects in the environment. These action sequences are relatively simple and do not require demanding platforming or combat skills.
The game also features a few minigames, such as a retro-inspired baseball game, that add variety to the gameplay. Additionally, players can collect various items and mementos throughout the game world, encouraging exploration and discovery.
