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. The game is set in a lonely, oppressive but strangely beautiful environment, with characters designed by comics legend Mick McMahon. Kurt works for the world’s largest retailer and is forced to choose between capitalism and activism. Having dedicated his life to working, Kurt’s loyalty is put to the test when a group of activists asked him to dismantle Jüngle from the inside. Aboard his corporate-issued flying JünglePod and armed with his multi-purpose JüngleGun, Kurt dispatches countless products from a fulfillment center the size of the sunken city of Manhattan. Kurt (voiced by Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) has dedicated his life to Jüngle, with only his co-bot, Skew (Jason Isaacs) to keep him company. But when S.P.E.A.R., a group of activists, asks Kurt to help dismantle Jüngle from the inside, Kurt is forced to discover his employer’s dark underbelly. The Last Worker delivers an emotional, thought-provoking, and inspiring story with rich characters performed by an all-star cast starring, Jason Isaacs, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Clare-Hope Ashitey, David Hewlett, Zelda Williams, and Tommie Earl Jenkins.
