Game description

The Last Worker is a thrilling adventure with a compelling story centered around a lone worker’s last stand in an increasingly automated world, with a unique blend of work simulation and strategic stealth gameplay. The game is set in a lonely, oppressive but extraordinarily beautiful environment, and the characters are designed by comic book legend Mick McMahon. Kurt works for the world’s largest retailer and is forced to choose between capitalism and activism. Dedicating his life to his work, Kurt puts his loyalties to the test when a group of activists ask him to destroy Yungle from the inside. Aboard his corporate flying ship, the JünglePod, armed with a multi-purpose JüngleGun, Kurt ships countless goods from a fulfillment center the size of sunken Manhattan. Kurt (voiced by Olafur Darry Olafsson) has dedicated his life to Jüngle, with only his co-bot Skeu (Jason Isaacs) to keep him company. But when a group of S.P.E.A.R. activists ask Kurt to help destroy Jungle from within, Kurt is forced to discover the dark underbelly of his employer. The Last Worker is an emotional, thought-provoking, and inspiring movie with rich characters played by a stellar cast including Jason Isaacs, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Claire-Hope Ashitey, David Hewlett, Zelda Williams, and Tommy Earl Jenkins.
