The Last Dogma

The Last Dogma is a surreal black-comedy exploration adventure set in 1999 in an alternate reality where the US pursues world domination after the Cold War disappoints it. You play as Sebastian Arise, an ATF special agent assigned to track and eradicate local firearms dealers. A routine tracking mission goes wrong and leads him to a village inhabited by the cannibalistic Christian cult called “Holy Intentions.”

Story and exploration

Caught in intrigues involving daemons that feed on emotions, Sebastian must keep his senses sharp. He travels back to 1366 A.D. to stop things he should not stop. The game has two completely different storylines, and its open-ended locations each have their own mood and color scheme. Hidden secrets include NPCs and a whole “Secret World” story campaign featuring The Narrator.

Adventure gameplay

The game uses a hotkey-based adventure system with “Look,” “Investigate,” “Talk” and “Take” commands. It focuses on story and exploration rather than shooting or mechanical action. The Last Dogma reimagines Sacred Line Genesis, a horror text adventure for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.

Sound and narration

The narration features actors from Kholat, Stasis, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Strike Vector and Deadstar. Its original soundtrack includes orchestral music, melodic instrumental rock, ambient music and shamisen dance electro.

Sacred Line DLC

The game includes Sacred Line as free DLC; it is a standalone game. The Linux / SteamOS version also has two exclusive, Linux-themed voiced lines.
