Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 23

Last Breath is a 2.5D side-scrolling survival horror shooter from developer HP+ DOG. It launched on PC via Steam on August 28, 2026. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by mutant infected called Kin Shi, and the player controls Guan Jin, an office worker searching for her missing younger sister. The full version includes five chapters, weapon upgrades, and New Game+.

The game is built around a costume damage system: more than 20 costumes are planned, and taking attacks damages the character's outfit. Coverage before launch came through an early August indie roundup that grouped the game with other Asian indie demos, including the Chinese folk horror puzzle adventure Qing Yu Chen Meng, the high-difficulty flight game Rocket Penguin, and the mystery adventure Ciella's Casebook.

A September 10 update added Steam Workshop support. Players can browse, subscribe to, and apply user-created content covering battle character art, costume CG, virus death CG, protagonist damage sounds, and weapon firing sounds. The developer says more than 20 costume types are planned for the costume damage system, and the workshop tools let players extend that content themselves.
