The Last Guy Everywhere was a promotional web browser game created by Dentsu Inc. to promote the 2008 PlayStation 3 title The Last Guy. [1] It was developed by Nobu Funaki and Masataka Hosogane. [2] [3]

The website allowed players to play a simplified version of the PS3 game using any website as the stage. Upon inputting the desired website, a playable map based on said website would be generated, with features like images being turned into buildings. [4] [5]Players would control the titular character by moving mouse, with the mouse scroll being used to zoom in and out of the map. [6] 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. [7]Pressing the space bar would activate the "heat camera" function from the original game, used to locate people within buildings. [8]

Player scores were globally ranked on a leaderboard, along with a poll of the recently played websites. [9]

The website offered a bookmark so that players could activate the game at any time, along with a button that could allow specific sites to activate the game's function. [10] [11]

Availability

Archives from the Wayback Machine for lastguy.jp show that the site was online from August 5th, 2008 to February 16th, 2010. [12] [13]
