OUR TAKE / EDITORIAL
Why it's on the wall
Vesuvius is going off over your shoulder and a man is yelling about the beam across his door, so you stop. The townspeople's lines are the best part, down to a baker still counting the loaves in the oven.

GAME BRIEF
What's the game?
The Last Day of Pompeii opens in a street with Vesuvius erupting at the far end under a swirling Van Gogh sky, and the first instruction is to turn and run for the sea. People are in trouble on the way: someone who has fallen and needs a hand up, families shut in behind doors where the beam has come down, others who just want to talk. A list in the corner keeps count: three families to free, four people to help to their feet, six voices to hear. We heaved the beam off a fuller's door, and he came out yelling for everyone to get out. The townspeople all have lines in the game's script, down to a baker still counting the 81 loaves in the oven, and reaching the shore reads back who you went back for and who you passed by.
