00:00Millions of people fell in love with this game, but it completely vanished without a trace.
00:04And you might have forgotten it at all.
00:06And no, this is not the recently launched Replaced.
00:08Back at E3 2017, a tiny indie studio dropped a 90-second trailer for a game called The Last Night.
00:14That was the star of the show.
00:16It looked like Blade Runner, mixing retro, handcrafted 2D pixel art with mind-blowing 3D lighting,
00:22playing a guy trying to find purpose in a gorgeous, futuristic city where AI took every single human job.
00:28People were calling it a masterpiece in the making.
00:31But right after the hype train peaked, nothing.
00:33Total radio silence.
00:35Months turned into years, and year after year, fans kept waiting.
00:38Now, nine years later, it seems like the game vanished into the ultimate development hell.
00:43What actually happened is a mystery, but rumors of engine issues, online controversies, and funding problems might have been the
00:49root to their problems.
00:50Other games have started carrying its legacy, and titles like Replaced captured that same breathtaking cyberpunk pixel art style, but
00:57actually launched.
00:57Even without a single piece of new gameplay, The Last Night is still not cancelled, and even showed signs of
01:03life on Steam with recent updates.
01:04The developer even stated that they showed the game in private this year to other game devs.
01:08Will it stay the most beautiful game we'll never get to play?
01:11Drop your theories below.
