About The Last Show of Mr. Chardish
"The Last Show of Mr. Chardish" is a journey through the variety of worlds created by the ingenious mind of the successful Director, Robert Chardish. Take the role of Ella, the Actress and through exploring an old theatre try to unveil secrets hidden in the extraordinary, magical plays created in the imagination of Mr. Chardish.
When they were young, the Actress and the Director were full of dreams and ambitions. Decades later, the Actress returns to the theatre, to once more become the performer, the audience and the muse.
The performances, the letters and the radio interviews - they are all meaningful, but will the Actress find what she's looking for? Attend the last show of a famous artist reflecting on his defining moments and your role in his life.
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.
To separate the performances from the real world and put the stress on their artistic nature, we decided to reach for new, creative methods of graphic design. The plays’ segments of the game are painted using virtual reality technology. Exchanging traditional 3D modeling for painterly strokes and splatters granted us more expressive freedom in shaping the artistic vision of the Director.
In The Last Show of Mr. Chardish you will experience:
- A rich, engaging story about the relationship of two artists, who founded a theatre in a British countryside.
- Multiple chapters with different gameplay mechanics, telling individual stories tied to the main plot.
- A unique art style created with VR painting technology.

فكرتها جميلة وجذابة بأنك تدخل عوالم خيالية متنوعة، لكن التنفيذ كان ممل وما شدني أكمل المراحل عادية في أغلبها، باستثناء مرحلة الروبوت لكن بشكل عام التجربة ما كانت جاذبة كفاية لي ⭐3\5 | ساعتين6 found this helpful
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 decisions and their far-reaching consequences. Personally, I would have pushed the story more towards transience and how, even though we grow out of our roots, they still exist within us. Gameplay wise, the game itself is a combination of a first-person walking simulator and a third-person puzzle-platformer. On plus side, while story is at best mid, gameplay certainly delivers, each play introduces us to a different world with different rules. This provides a certain breath of freshness and prevents the game from getting boring in the long run. For that price, you might want to consider it if you like games with unique art styles or those that try to mix genres to create something new. Still, I str…4 found this helpful
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. I only wish it was a bit longer, but overall, it’s a fun and beautiful game . ⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⠀⢠⣿⣿⡆⠀⢻⣷⠀⣿⡏⢸⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⠀⣼⣏⣸⣷⠀⠘⣿⣴⡿⠀⢸⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⢀⣿⣇⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠇⠀⣿⣿⠰⠿⠋⠉⠿⠆⠀⠹⠿⠃⠀⠸⠿⠿⠗⠀⠀⠸⠿⠉⠙⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣷⡀⢸⣿⠀⣿⡇⢀⣶⡿⠿⠆⢸⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⢸⣿⠿⣷⣦⠀⠀⣾⣿⣆⠀⠸⣿⣄⣾⠇ ⣿⡟⢿⣾⣿⠀⣿⡇⢸⣿⡀⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⠀⣸⣿⣸⣿⡀⠀⢻⣿⠏⠀ ⠿⠇⠈⠻⠿⠀⠿⠇⠈⠻⠿⠿⠇⠸⠿⠶⠆⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠋⠀⠿⠏⠉⠿⠇⠀⠸⠿2 found this helpful
VERY GOOD GAME it has a creative way of reflecting life experiences into colorful and vibrant worlds. its a work of art.
The story is alright. The graphic is pretty. Lovely music and short adventure. I enjoyed Symmetry, Ascension, and Daydream - they were stunning. 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... I think this game should have more of people's attention for sure.
Good writing, characters, and story. 100% in 4 hours. Gameplay was varied for each chapter and collectibles where nice to search for.
