Independent game company The Game Kitchen is excited to announce that the first season (including the first three chapters) of The Last Door an episodic pointandclick horror adventure game featuring stylish pixelart graphics and a foreboding orchestral soundtrack, for PC, Linux & Mac, has taken today to Steam Greenlight.
The game’s first episode was successfully funded on Kickstarter in late 2012, and after the recent launch of the third chapter (The Four Witnesses) has now three full chapters to the public. If the game passes the Steam Greenlight community voting process, the indie studio will gather and pack up the first three installments of the saga in a First Season, a standalone special edition of the game, compiled together with many enhancements. This new milestone in the trajectory of the game it’s really important since it means a solid step forward towards the funding of the upcoming episodes of the game.
Currently, the saga of “The Last Door” counts with two free chapters available to the public and the third one available upon any donation towards the development of the fourth installment which is now in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign. While all that is going on, the game has also just been added to Steam Greenlight and it’s looking for some votes.
