12-year-old Ayumi is haunted by a girl in his dreams. Every time he’s almost to her, he wakes up and wonders who she is.
In his small house where he lives with his parents, he does what children do: he goes to school, hangs out with his friends and plays video games. Until one day a terrible typhoon hits the school and changes Ayumi’s life forever.
Ayumi embarks on a journey into the forbidden forests where he discovers supernatural creatures, ancient fairy tales and… the girl from his dreams.
Developer Maboroshi Artworks is led by Juan Fandiño, the art director of Yume Nikki: Dream Diary. Last Time I Saw You is their first game and has already won awards including the Visual Excellence Award at BitSummit and Official Selections at Day of the Devs and LudoNarraCon.
