Not Tonight

All talk, conjecture, and analysis aside Not Tonight is great. As I stated before, if you liked Papers Please you’ll love this game. You don’t even need to be into the graphics or politics to get a kick out of this game. Not Tonight delivers pure-bred fun and challenge in a way that rarely, if ever, feels cheap. The game is well worth your time picking up if you can manage to push through the massive pool of levels.

Not Tonight is a surprisingly deep and engaging game that will suck you in. If you let it. Of course, the politics aren't to everybody's liking, but the game more than makes up for it with great wit, as it tackles - to an extent - deep subjects. The gameplay can be artificially difficult at times, but is still as engaging as the obvious inspiration: Papers, Please. Should you play Not Tonight? Yes, yes you should.

Papers, Please with a Brexit twist! Fun game with come nice humor and atmospheric music, with cute pixel visuals.

A flawed but enjoyable rework of Papers, Please. [Issue#205, p.84]

The developers took on a difficult subject and tripped. They managed to conjure a proper dystopian setting, but the story is too shallow to make a proper impression. [11/2018, p.79]

It’s hard to recommend Not Tonight, which is a shame as I like the idea. If the execution had been better, this could have been a great game. As it is, it’s a competent clone of a better game.

Not Tonight proves that the Papers Please formula can work in a less soviet setting, but the experience is slightly diminished by the transplant. Yet it’s eccentricities remain endearing, with characters, landscapes and a haunting sound of muffled music that will be rambling around my skull for a little while yet.

Ya love this, its come out on Switch too and i have it on PC but think it might work better on Switch due to the buttons. Also switch version has all dlc i dont have the PC Dlc yet but probably will.

This is the first game of its kind for me, and it might be my last one. It has beautiful pixel art (I really love high-quality pixel art) and pleasant music, but I didn't like the game-play. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, as I expected something interesting to gradually unfold after the explosive in the prologue. But in the end, the whole game felt too bland and straightforward. And, by and large, it was too straightforward. I might not be so critical if it weren't for the overly fast timer and save mechanics, but I can't recommend this game at the end of my day.

i think that alot of the negative reviews are from rather bigoted persons, but my issues are with a nonsensical interface and control scheme right from the start. i cant give the game a full review because ive only played for a few minutes, but it was comprehensively unintuitive. the game makes me use almost exclusively the mouse, but suggests that i press the "home button" to access my phone. im not sure if the developers are aware of this, but computers do not have a "home button". it was originally for pc, then switch, so the only explanation i can find for this is that they very sloppily patched something from the switch port back into the PC version.

This game is way too long considering how slowly they introduce new mechanics if ever. Story and tone-wise the game is all over the place and even if done so by choice it makes the whole thing rather en-engaging. Last but not least is the misuse of music and sound in this game, what a big missed opportunity.
