Go through psychedelic portals, solve abstract puzzles, explore grand minimal forms or race against the stars. A science-fiction experience unlike any other game. THE DESIGN A cinematic game with stunning movie-like graphics, each chapter is visually unique and explores an original concept with completely new game mechanics. THE MUSIC 60+ minutes of original soundtrack to heighten your sense of wonder. The soundtrack features a variety of genres and has been tailored to every movement on the screen. Best experienced with headphones. PHILOSOPHY Last Voyage is a game about space that is not about spaceships but rather what lies beyond our culture and technology. A game where you don't master a single task but rather explore a range of concepts. As a result, the levels are sometimes mysterious, and other times very direct. Sometimes completely still, and other times moving at the speed of light. While these chapters form a continuous narrative, you are constantly surprised with new ways to interact as you seamlessly transition from one chapter to another.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Last Voyage at 4.2 against Shadowgate's 3.7. Last Voyage also leads on ratings volume (359 vs 15) and review sentiment (66% vs 50%). Shadowgate's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
