The Last Survey is a narrative essay where you take on the role of a geologist contracted by a Brazilian mining company to survey rare earth metal reserves. Rare earth metals like nickel, silver, cobalt, and platinum are used in most major electronics including PC parts, green technology components, and almost all mobile devices. However, after a year of conducting your research, you've found that there is not enough of these metals on the planet to sustain industries reliant on current supply chains, and you must deliver these findings to the company's CEO, Victor Ferreira.

Based on studies and projections from real-world geoscientists and mineral analysts, recent findings show there isn't enough mineral material on the planet for the growing demands for electric cars, high efficiency fuel cells, solar paneling manufacturing, and even some of the components used to play & produce this game.

Will your choices help steer the direction of your employer away from global mineral fatigue? Or will the urgency of your research fall on unsympathetic ears?

The unique graphic style created with hand-drawn digital, graphite and charcoal drawings is something that makes The Last Survey stand out. An excellent soundtrack by Lewis Kopenhafer only emphasizes the atmosphere of criticism of the modern world.  The Last Survey has a series of live experimental performances where the audience decides by voting which dialog option to choose, and music composers - Big Dog Little Dog - perform live music to the current situation in-game. 

Key Features:

• Over 1500 of hand-drawn digital, graphite, and charcoal drawings
• Choose-Your-Own Adventure monologue / dialog options
• Multiple endings depending on how you conduct yourself
• Dynamic soundtrack by Lewis Kopenhafer
• Story-rich narrative that critiques globalism, extractionist capitalism, and executive greed

Currently available for PC (Steam), The Last Survey is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2021.
