But The Last Worker, a first person narrative action-stealth game by Oiffy and Wolf & Wood Interactive Limited has a cast just as impressive as any AAA title or any big budget movie, for that matter. 

Names such as Claire Hope-Ashitey (Children Of Men), Jason Issacs (The Patriot, Harry Potter) and  Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (True Detective, BFG) are unheard of for such a low budget title.

So how the hell did it come to be? Writer and director of the game Jorg Tittel explains that he knows the entire cast from working with them on movies. “Except Zelda Williams,” he adds. “I just tweeted her, explaining the project and she was excited to join us to make an amazing game.”

The story is that you lost your partner long ago and now you are trying to find her again. This is made difficult of course by many obstacles encountered along the way. 

The dark, dry humour characterised by writer Tittel’s razor-sharp wit moves the story along nicely with clever dialogue. Everthing in the real world is constantly and scathingly satirised, making this dystopian world feel all too close to close to home. 

The all-star cast doesn’t just stop at the voice actors. Character and asset designs are created by Mike McMahon, the original Judge Dredd artist for 2000 AD comics. The visuals have a distinctive blend of reality and satirical comic, adding to the unique edge of the title. 

Tittel was keen to dispel any comparisons to AAA games. Some people took one look at the game and
