Story spoilers
This page explains the full story and reveals major events from the game.
Have you finished Last Seen Online?
Last Seen Online puts you in front of an old computer. The account, the photos and the notes belong to Liz. You are not solving a lab puzzle; you are reading a life that stopped mid-sentence.
Buddy List, LoseAmp, a zip of photos, a text file of dates, and a shortcut called Other World are the pieces she left in reach. Through them you meet Emily, Lawson, Orion and other names from her online life.
Other World is connected to people she knew on the computer. It is more than a chat window. What it finally does to Liz, and what the ritual costs, stays off this overview until you finish the game.
If you are still playing, use the walkthrough or the Other World guide. Come back here when you want the whole chain of cause and effect.
