Hello there r/NintendoSwitch
We just launched our first person narrative adventure [The Last Worker](https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-games/The-Last-Worker-2351395.html) , and we’re riding that launch day buzz of excitement, nervousness and adrenaline as the reviews and peoples own thoughts and impressions roll in!Launch days are always special, and interacting with folks across forums, socials and Discords is something that makes them even better – so we were kindly given a platform by the moderation team here to tell you about the game and answer your questions!
Before we dive in, a little about the game and who we are (just in case we are still strangers at this point!)
About The Last Worker :The Last Worker is an immersive narrative adventure centered around a lone worker’s last stand in an increasingly automated world, The Last Worker is a unique blend of work simulation and stealth strategic gameplay, set in a lonely, oppressive but strangely beautiful environment, with characters designed by comics legend Mick McMahon.
The story focuses on the effects of end stage capitalism, and how it impacts the human element – aiming to open discussions about the necessity of these corporations, and indeed whether it’s too late to put the ‘genie back in the bottle’ so to speak – it’s also voiced by a SUPER talented cast including Jason Isaacs, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Clare-Hope Ashitey, David Hewlett, Zelda Williams and Tommie Earl Jenkins.
A bit about who we are:
Jörg Tittel is a London based writer, director and producer. In 2011, he founded Oiffy with director/writer Alex Helfrecht and producer Philip Munger. Their debut feature was THE WHITE KING starring Jonathan Pryce and Fiona Shaw, which Jörg co-directed with Alex. Jörg’s satirical graphic novel RICKY ROUSE HAS A GUN was a Boston Globe Book of the Year. Oiffy’s next feature film is the painted-animated musical adventure drama A WINTER’S JOURNEY starring John Malkovich and Jason Isaacs, based on Franz Schubert’s “Winterreise” and animated by the artists behind the Oscar nominated LOVING VINCENT.

What was the hardest bit in the game to code?
What did you think would be hard to code but ended up being surprisingly easier?
Are you planning any “Special” or “Collectors Edition”? (PS if yes, pls include the soundtrack on CD😊)
Hey folks, congrats on the launch!
The game obviously has a fantastic art style, but what is (without spoiling!) your favourite bit of art from the game that you can share?
@Ryan What’s the drink you’re holding in the subreddit banner?

Will there be a sequel in the works or any plans to expand upon the universe???
Hi! Super cool game! Thinking of buying it tonight. What compromises had to be made to the visuals compared to say the ps5 version?
