Final Run

developed by Roman Agapov


A fan project based on “The Last Night“, a gorgeous cyberpunk thriller (that we are all waiting on!).  Final Run is mostly a solo project done by Roman Agapov as a challenge to see if they could emulate The Last Night’s art style and was made in eight months during their final year of university.  I think they did a pretty good job :-)  The music is also really well done and was created by Laurent Lozano.

You can see the full gameplay video on YouTube, and there is also a slightly more detailed post about the development here.
