About the Game

Experience the autophobia of Emilia, a young woman trying to find her place in the working world. Is Bar La Última Parada, lost in the middle of nowhere, really the idyllic workplace promised by those regional TV commercials? Or is it a nightmare for its employees? What would it be like to work the night shift in a place like this?

Autophobia

The most common fear among those who have been abandoned at some point in their lives. The fear of loneliness. The fear of how vulnerable a person becomes when separated from the group. In this story, you'll explore the bar, carry out your nightly duties, and serve customers. House policy is simple: Never leave a customer unattended! No matter how strange they may seem, their money is worth just as much as yours.

Sometimes, the problem isn't the people who walk into the bar. Sometimes, the problem begins when they leave... Did you see that? Isn't that the same woman who was staring at you earlier? Loneliness has never been your friend, and on a night as dangerous as this, it is even less so.

Is the police officer right about the serial killer?

That quiet man seems awfully suspicious, doesn't he?

What is someone that old doing alone on such a desolate road at this hour?

All excellent questions that, sooner or later, you'll have the misfortune of answering.

A More Personal Kind of Horror

This isn't a story about frantic chases and endless screams. This is a more immersive experience about the fear of loneliness, how it shapes the world around you, and the people you meet along the way. A more psychological kind of horror, built upon the ordinary things we encounter every day.
