The “Left Behind” expansion - or DLC, in gaming parlance - jumps between the present, where Ellie scours an abandoned mall looking for medical supplies to treat a gravely injured Joel, and the past, where Ellie is hanging out at an abandoned mall with Riley. “Left Behind” was hailed for its story and for centering a queer teen romance, which was groundbreaking at the time for mainstream video games. Those familiar with “The Last of Us” video games will recognize that Episode 7 is an adaptation of “The Last of Us: Left Behind,” a supplemental chapter of the game originally released in 2014.
