The Final Act

The Final Act is a first-person visual novel and puzzle game about Rebecca Carter, a writer struggling with severe writer’s block as she tries to finish her latest novel. With guidance from her mentor, Jessica, Rebecca works on the story’s final act: her protagonist, Reina, must plan the murder of a blackmailer who threatens her husband’s reputation. As you help Rebecca develop the story, its fiction and her reality begin to blur.

Craft the crime

You investigate a crime scene, find clues and interact with objects to build a murder plot. Puzzles let you adjust the starting positions of items such as doors, guns and knives, then use them to draft different scenarios. Your decisions shape the drafts and lead to different endings.

Rebecca’s story

Dynamic narration responds to your choices, while watercolor-style inserts reveal Rebecca’s thoughts and creative process. The game’s cute anime visual style contrasts with its dark themes as Rebecca struggles to complete her novel.
