Picture of the lastguy.jp website, taken from the Wayback Machine snapshot dated August 5th, 2008.
Status: Lost
The Last Guy Everywhere (Japanese: どこでもラストガイ) was a promotional web browser Flash game created by Dentsu Inc. to promote the 2008 PlayStation 3 title The Last Guy. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] It was developed by Nobu Funaki, Masataka Hosogane, Hiroki Nakamura, Okuyama Kazya, and Yuki Kishi. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]
The website allowed players to play a simplified version of the original PS3 game using any website as the stage. [31][32] Upon inputting the desired website, a playable map based on said website would be generated, with features like images being turned into buildings housing citizens. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] Some sites would not work due to their lack of white spaces.[45][46][47][48][49] Players would control the titular character by moving the mouse, with the mouse scroll being used to zoom in and out of the map. [50][51] Just like the original game, players would rescue survivors by taking them out of their hiding spots and relocating them to the "Escape Zone", while avoiding enemy Zombies. [52] Pressing the space bar would activate the "heat camera" function from the original game, used to locate people within buildings. [53][54][55][56]
Player scores were globally ranked on a leaderboard, along with a poll of the recently played websites. [57]
The website offered a bookmark so that players could activate the game at any time, along with a blog widget that could allow specific sites to activate the game's function. [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]
Availability
The site was originally registered on August 5th, 2008.[68] Archives from the Wayback Machine for lastguy.jp show that the site was online from August 5th, 2008 to February 16th, 2010. [69][70][71][72]
