Publishing label No More Robots (Descenders, Yes, Your Grace, Hypnospace Outlaw) and development studio PanicBarn have revealed Not Tonight 2, a political dark comedy about the absolute state that they call the United States.
Nearly 400,000 players picked up the original Not Tonight, the post-Brexit document-checking game—but exploring a broken Britain was just the beginning, and now Not Tonight 2 has The Star-Spangled Banner in its sights.
“Immigration Enforcement Case #112: You are under arrest. Unless your friends can cross a broken America, retrieve your identifying documents, and stay out of trouble… this is the end of the American dream for you.”
From the press release:
Not Tonight 2 explores an alternative, defective America, where capitalism and political greed have taken center stage, and democracy is a thing of the past. Written and brought to life by a team of POC writers and artists, this US road trip explores every festering orifice of this Land of Liberty.
O Say Can You See, a variety of politically-driven minigames? Check your guests follow the correct religion, then join a cult, tap along to rhythm games, make sure the Colonel’s chickens have enough steroids pumped into them, serve your fellow Canadians with free poutine, work a day or two on the Texan wall…
Not Tonight 2 intertwines the lives of Malik, Kevin and Mari, as they race across the land of the free, on a mission to save their friend Eduardo from being deported (or worse) by the fascist Martyrs regime.
The game is set to launch later this year; details can be found at nottonightgame.com.
