Now I'm trapped. There's barricades on the windows and doors and- well, there's something in here with me. The cashier is gone and the only exit I can find is this... archway. I don't know what scares me more Mary, that archway, the freaking wolf I saw wandering around, or whatever's making that chattering sound in the dark above me. Now I'm huddled here behind a counter, whispering this message even though my phone won't god damn connect, hoping you get it somehow. The kiosk has been calling my name, I'm going to see if I can get help on it.
All I wanted to do was get you that ring I've been hinting at Mary. I'm sorry. I love you."
Last Chance Market, across from the Leng Forest Information Center, is a trusted stop and literal last chance to buy supplies for hikers and campers heading in to explore British Columbia鈥檚 vast Coast Range wilderness. Known by locals for its quality food, competitive prices, and quirky atmosphere, the store鈥檚 mascot, Ellie the Elk, waits outside to greet shoppers. With a wide selection of free range game meats, wild caught fish and fresh cooked delicacies, we can always find something to satisfy your cravings.
If you're heading into the wild Yaxala Valley, be sure to visit our hiking and camping section! More people disappear in the wilderness beyond Last Chance than anywhere else in Canada each year. With notoriously steep mountains, deep plunging ravines, and dense old growth forests obscuring trails, just getting where you want to be can be treacherous. Aggressive wildlife and volatile weather only add dangers for the unprepared. So whether you're hunting Leng's Lost Gold or going on a nature adventure, we can help you come back safe and sound.
As the pawn of Yog-Sothoth, the player must survive and escape the store. When facing a god determined to consume you or use you for parts, that's easier said than done. Your only chance for survival is to unravel the mysteries surrounding the town and store, and use the ancient magics at play to find a door out. Expect to die.

The Ballad for Monsters, Canto I
Before time ticked the music played,
To calm the sleeper dancers swayed.
But from the darkness something came,
Changed the tempo, began the game.
Now the cadence beats hard and fast,
How will the dancers ever last?
Against their foe they must rely,
in this strange aeon, death will die.
Last Chance Market is the first game in an expansive universe we've created, The Ballad for Monsters. We've already planned for the effects of the player's actions in this game to echo into other games in meaningful ways. See you in the mist.
