"This game is divisive, there’s no doubting that and I can completely understand why someone wouldn’t enjoy it or wouldn’t quite get it. But if you approach it with measured expectations and treat it as more of an experience as opposed to a game, there’s a really relaxing use of your time to be had. This is a truly ambitious indie game and I can completely see the LIDAR technology being refined and used in future games. As this game is also confirmed to be part of the Smart Delivery program for Series X, it’s possible we could see some of that refinement as soon as later this year. While this isn’t for everyone, it’s worth checking out even to take in the views that the LIDAR tech provides. As the resident achievement hunter of XboxEra, the easy-ish 1000GS and low price entry point also helps."

About
Last Window: The Secret of Cape West is a point-and-click adventure with puzzle solving and visual novel elements. Set in 1980 Los Angeles, it follows Kyle Hyde as he navigates the Cape West Apartments while figuring out a mystery tied to his past. Players interact with characters, gather clues, and solve timed challenges to progress. The game blends dialogue choices with mini-games and trivia questions that test attention to detail. Its design leans into the Nintendo DS touchscreen for inventory management and quick-time events. The game stands out for its atmospheric 80s setting and the way puzzles tie into character development. Despite being Cing’s final project before the studio dissolved, it retains the same quirky charm as its predecessor, Hotel Dusk. Fans note its brisk runtime and tight writing, with many praising the way story and gameplay merge. While its trivia segments polarize some players, the title remains a cult favorite among adventure game enthusiasts for its unique blend of mystery and nostalgia.
