2 | ''Last Case - The Disappearance of Amanda Kane'' is a short indie PointAndClickGame by Affinity Play about a private eye named [[DetectiveAnimal Jack Forester]] investigating [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the disappearance of Amanda Kane]]. The game is well-known for its FilmNoir setting, it's cliché ([[Administrivia/TropesAreTools but still very enjoyable]]) plot, and for the narrator's soothing, monotonous voice acting. It's also known for its abrupt and confusing ending. |

7 | !!Tropes found in the game: |
8 | |
9 | * TheAlcoholic: |
10 | ** The drunken moose in the Pink Flamingo. |
11 | ** Jack Forester as well, who shamelessly drinks bourbon on the job (or whenever his last drink wears off). |
12 | * [[spoiler:AlienAbduction: See GainaxEnding below]]. |
13 | * BarBrawl: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], which is surprising considering how cliché the game's setting is. Jack does get into a confrontation with Semeri in the back of the bar though. |
14 | * DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler:Jack is kidnapped by aliens right when he finds a promising lead on Amanda]]. WordOfGod admitted that [[InvokedTrope this was done deliberately]] to break the game's cliché plot and to shift to an entirely different genre. |
15 | * DrowningMySorrows: Prior to the game, Jack Forester constantly got drunk after the death of his partner. |
16 | * FilmNoir |
17 | * GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:Jack finally finds Amanda's cabin, only to be abducted by what appear to be aliens. The game ends with him losing consciousness as he rises into the air]]. |
18 | * GenreShift: Starts as a bleak FilmNoir. [[spoiler:Ends as a strange sci-fi involving extraterrestrials.]] |
19 | * LeftHanging: [[spoiler:The game ends with Jack apparently being abducted by aliens, and we have no idea if Amanda and her boyfriend Trevor were abducted as well or still on the run]]. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], however, as [[WordOfGod Affinity Play]] admitted that the ending had to be rushed to meet the Adventure Jam deadline, and because he was busy working on his other game, ''VideoGame/MaxGreene''. |
20 | * LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: The music that plays in Semeri's van, which was so loud that Jack was unable to talk to the man. |
21 | * MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: The entire game is nothing but a classic, cliché tale about a private eye trying to find a missing woman. [[spoiler:Then aliens kidnap him, with not even the slightest hint of their presence anywhere in the game's setting. Then it all ends]]. |
22 | * PrecisionFStrike: Semeri, who tells Jack to "fuck off" after he keeps disturbing him while he's working on his van. |
23 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The second Jack arrives at the cabin and sees [[spoiler:the furniture ''floating'', he grabs his gun and sprints outside]]. |
24 | * ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Neither Jack nor the players ever find out what happened to Amanda. At best, one can assume that she was probably abducted by the aliens too]]. |
25 | * WorldOfFunnyAnimals: All of the characters appear to be clothed moose. |
