#Last stop review series

John is contacted by the Vape Lord, a vaping store owner who is brothers with Frank, the older man that inadvertently swapped their bodies. Meanwhile Jack, in John's body, is hospitalized after suffering a heart attack. John, in Jack's body, is able to reapply for his old job with the help of friend of the family and fellow co-worker Shazia Aslam. After coming to grips with the situation and telling Molly what has happened, they try to live out each other's lives, but both end up getting fired from their jobs.

'Paper Dolls' John Smith, a middle-aged father to daughter, Molly Smith, and Jack Smith (no relation), a young programmer that lives in a nearby building but otherwise unrelated, find their bodies switched after a run-in with the same older man in the Underground.

The game then jumps to 2020s London, covering three stories: The pursuing bobbies arrive seconds later, opening the door to find nothing but a wall the portal, along with Samantha and Frank, gone without a trace. A disappointed Frank says his goodbyes and enters the portal, the door shutting behind him.

After introducing himself as Frank, he opens a nearby door onto a green portal, offering the two teenagers the opportunity to 'step inside' further warning that 'time is running out'. Taking a service tunnel, they are surprised to find an oddly well-dressed man mysteriously awaiting their arrival. In 1980s London, teenage friends Peter Hale and Samantha steal a bobby's helmet from an officer and escape into the tunnels of the London Underground. Last Stop is a third-person game, where players control one of three main characters, by deciding what they should say and performing a variety of minigame interactions.

POSSIBLE SPOILER OVER.Last Stop is a supernatural adventure video game developed by Variable State and published by Annapurna Interactive for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It’s really just a personal issue, since you know, I ride the train daily, and the idea of people having sex on the moving trash can/petri dish that is the subway grosses me out. Speaking of the subway the only smaaaalll issue I had with this book was, SLIGHT MAYBE SPOILER AHEAD? that there was a semi public sex scene on the train. Which obviously is important since it primarily took place on the subway. Let’s just say that the subway weirdness was captured perfectly in this book. One of my second favorite things about this book was the fact that it took place in Brooklyn!! Now, I know that it’s not exactly rare for a book to be set in NYC, but it is rare for it to actually feel like NYC.

I would honestly read novellas dedicated to each side character in this book. From August’s roommates, to August’s workmates, every single character left me wanting more. Usually, I find that the main characters can be reliably interesting while the side characters fade into the background, however, in OLS every single character was a world on their own. I immediately wanted to get to know every single character in this book (and become their best friend). Jane’s been trapped on the Q train since the 70’s and August might be her only chance at getting free.įirst and foremost, OLS solidifies Casey McQuiston’s strength at characterization. Unfortunately, the girl on the train, Jane, is not your typical commuter. August adjusts to city life with a new waitressing job and new roommates, and things seem to be going well when she adds a new subway crush to the list.

One Last Stop follows August, a 23 year old girl who just moved to New York City. It is queer and it does have a fantastic cast of personable and likeable characters, but it is its own book and I think that fans of Casey McQuiston should note that and give the book the attention and adoration it deserves, without comparing it to RW&RB. The first thing to note about OLS, is that it is not a RW&RB 2.0.
