Recommended when you need to shut your mind off and maybe giggle a little. The perfect game to just zone out and play. PROS: - I thoroughly enjoyed ALL of the dialog. From my character to the main NPCs, to the idiot bar patrons, and stupid Jupp...it was wonderful. - The pixel game art is incredibly detailed! Every scene was so pretty! - I liked the way the story was delivered (phone, conversations, news, etc). - I was a big loser and didn't make it the big show, but I loved the way my story ended (and that it did, in fact, end). - The soundtrack is fun. Lots of shoulder shaking and head bobbing. - I don't typically replay games, but I may make an exception for this one. I would imagine it has a lot of replay-ability. I CONS: - Give us more key-bindings and upgrades! I would have loved to have a button to auto scan and an option to set up quick keys for the items in the bag. - [MY BAD] I follow the rules, and I hate making mistakes. I think I missed out on some interesting storylines by playing so 'perfect'. Not even Jupp could ruin this one!

not much to say that hasn't been said by people with much more eloquence. that is to say that Not Tonight is a passable "paperwork-core" game akin to Papers, Please. the pixel art graphics are very charming, and the soundtrack is a bumping bomp of nice electronic tracks and catchy indie pop. the story is... alright? the real world connection to brexit feels kind of cheap in places, which, to add to my next point, the game is a little weird tonally. funny in the wrong places, i guess. it is also entirely too long. this game should've been like 5 hours long for a first time playthrough. overall, i'd say 6.5/10

alright listen. if you have 2 monitors this is for you. everytime you click out the game it auto pauses so you can stop and read everything properly to get nothing wrong! cheat without cheating and progress as you wish lol story is solid! also the dlc is actually good too, get it.

As a fan of Papers, Please I was really looking forward to checking this game out. It did not disappoint. Obviously inspired by it, but it definitely is also it's own game entirely and I thought the visuals and humour were really charming. The story was engaging and it definitely has replay value as I know I missed quite a few of the side stories with certain characters. Granted, probably not as much replay value as PP in terms of possible outcomes, but still worthwhile for dipping back into. The gameplay itself was great and definitely became a bit addictive towards the end with a decent level of difficulty at times. Have picked up the 2nd game and dlc as a result, so looking forward to getting started on those.

I decided to try Not Today because I'm being a big fan of Lucas Pope's game "Papers Please".The game turned out to be a pleasant surprise. At first glance, it’s familiar territory: checking documents, matching faces, spotting inconsistencies. But the mechanics are so engaging that it’s genuinely hard to stop — every new day on the checkpoint feels like a mini-puzzle. The game keeps things fresh by constantly introducing new twists: updated forms, shady characters with fake visas, you name it. The soundtrack is quite catchy and atmospheric and perfectly matches for the visual tone.Speaking of visuals... this game oozes style. That retro bureaucratic dystopia vibe is absolutely nailed, with just the right amount of bleak charm. Oh, and the xenophobia! Where else can you take border security so seriously that you start questioning your own reflection? Thankfully, it’s all served with a hefty dose of irony — and it works brilliantly. The game pokes fun at paranoia and bureaucratic absurdity in the best way possible. If you enjoy games inspired by Papers Please,clever satire, and the raw power of deciding who gets in and who gets rejected - this game is for you.
