Set in a lonely, oppressive but strangely beautiful environment, The Last Worker is a unique blend of first-person narrative, work simulation and stealth strategy game play.

Combining a hand crafted art style with uniquely immersive gameplay mechanics in an epic setting, The Last Worker delivers an emotional, thought provoking and comedic story packaged with rich characters.

Featuring uniquely immersive gameplay, handcrafted 3D and 2D visuals based on concepts by comics legend Mick McMahon and a multi-instrumental score, The Last Worker features intense performances from an all-star cast (to be announced in early September).

Wired Productions, Oiffy and Wolf & Wood are excited to announce that The Last Worker from Writer / Director Jörg Tittel has been selected by the 78th Venice International Film Festival (La Biennale di Venezia), which will run from 1st to 11th September.

Competing in the VR Expanded category where it is nominated for a Golden Lion, the World Premiere first chapter of The Last Worker will be accessible exclusively to the jury and accredited festival guests on Oculus Quest/Quest 2. Among the 23 nominees, The Last Worker is the only videogame.

Jörg Tittel said, “It has been my lifelong dream to see one of my stories in the Biennale, but who knew that it would be with a VR game! It is truly beautiful that the world’s oldest film festival is at the forefront of celebrating the future of storytelling. There is no better place to introduce the world and characters we’ve been building.”

Ryan Bousfield, Creative Director, Wolf & Wood added, "To be part of such a prestigious festival is very cool for our small team. The hand-crafted style of The Last Worker really reflects the level of thinking and artistry each individual has poured in to create this multifaceted world. The invitation to compete in Venice is obviously a little nerve wracking but also incredibly exciting for us and I’m really proud of all the work the team has created to get here.”

Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions, continued, “The design, story and themes of The Last Worker are so unique, and what Jörg, Ryan and their teams are creating fills us with pride, and I am very much looking forward to seeing the story unfold.”
