Last Time I Saw You is a very warm, beautifully drawn adventure that can be compared to Studio Ghibli's best work.

Last Time I Saw You is a concise, compact experience, and quite short in length. But in that sense it is also perfect: its story and its development are not missing or extra. The entire time we are playing is time of enjoyment, and even the least exciting errand mission is pleasant, as it consists, at the very least, of a walk through an environment cared for down to the smallest detail, in which you can almost smell the wood of the trees and feel the autumn breeze caressing your hair. This is a calm, intimate, precious, and very, very tender game that makes us reconnect with that inner child that, oh my poor thing, we do not pay the attention to as we should in order to be happier, both him and us. So the occasion is unbeatable to sit next to him, cuddle up together, and accompany Ayumi on her adventure to save the world... and overcome the end of her childhood.

Last Time I Saw You offers a rich, unique story that is told through scripted dialogue, sought-out interactions, and some side reading. I appreciate that combat is minimal, but enough that it kept me aware when I entered a new area just in case something came from the dark. Despite some self-discovery of mechanics, progressing through the game is very fluid. I found myself wanting to learn more about each character’s story as I spoke with each of them, and it gave me a small-town feel with an ancestral history that only added to the plot! I highly recommend giving this hand-drawn game a play-through!
Last Time I Saw You is an adventure, exploration, and puzzle game set in 1980s Japan, blending the real and supernatural as you uncover the curse haunting a small town. While it can feel repetitive with its back-and-forth locations, its compelling story and characters make it highly recommendable.

Fans of narrative-driven games will certainly find Last Time I Saw You to be a visually minimalist and narratively quite moving experience.

Last Time I Saw You turned out to be an enjoyable narrative adventure. I love the attention to detail, not just in its artwork but the stories of its cast members. A perfect little play for everyone. ∎
Last Time I Saw You has a great dramatic narrative that is bogged down by trying to do too much at once.
Last Time I Saw You is a worthy $16 experience if you’re looking for a palette cleansing game to play between big games or if you just need a beautiful cozy game to play that has nothing to do with farming. Last Time I Saw You is a game that checked a lot of those boxes for me, and I think a lot of people will find something to enjoy with this title.
