The Last DeadEnd

The Last DeadEnd is an adventure game with first-person shooter and horror elements. You play as Farhad Novruzov, a young scientist who returns to his homeland to help film a documentary for an international television channel. Strange events linked to the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism lead him to investigate their cause.

Baku and its history

The main action takes place in the real Inner City of Baku, Azerbaijan, the city’s oldest district. Surrounded by a fortress wall, it has a thousand-year history, with old streets and dozens of historical and archaeological sites. Some locations are recreated one-to-one from real city streets and historic buildings, and the game includes objects reflecting the old city’s national character. Much of the action unfolds in unusual settings such as a flooded fortress, an ancient palace and ancient ruins.

Investigation and combat

The game shifts between first- and third-person views. Most actions and active research take place in first person. You encounter regular enemies and stronger foes inspired by local legends; some require their own tactics to defeat.

Research is supported by an extensive encyclopedia that adds articles about historical objects, characters, symbols and other subjects as you progress. You can pick up and examine various objects from all sides to learn about them. Farhad’s technological glasses let you read and decipher ancient-language inscriptions on the old city’s walls.

Survival mode

Survival mode pits you against different enemies across various maps. It offers three challenges:

• Survive waves of enemies.
• Kill all enemies within a set time.
• Stay alive for as long as possible.
