What is The Last Show of Mr. Chardish?
Decades after helping establish a theatre with director Robert Chardish, actress Ella returns to the abandoned building.
She explores its collection of extraordinary performances, gathering lost pieces of the past while uncovering the story of their relationship. Each play presents a different setting, characters, gameplay mechanics, and closure, with roles ranging from a robot escaping a factory to a boastful musketeer. The chapters connect their individual stories to the main plot.
