Acquista The Last Survey PC Key

Step into the boots of a geologist hired by a Brazilian mining company to assess rare earth metal reserves like nickel, silver, cobalt, and platinum. These materials power electronics, green tech, and mobile devices, yet your year-long survey reveals insufficient supplies to meet surging demands from electric cars, fuel cells, solar panels, and even game components. You face the task of presenting this stark reality to CEO Victor Ferreira through choose-your-own-adventure monologue and dialog choices. Over 1500 hand-drawn digital, graphite, and charcoal drawings bring the story to life alongside a dynamic soundtrack. Multiple endings hinge on your decisions amid a narrative that probes globalism, extractionist capitalism, and executive greed. This indie visual novel appeals to players who savor story-rich experiences with branching paths and atmospheric depth.

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?
