    Social commentary delivered with baseball bat subtlety, Not Tonight owes a huge debt to Papers, Please, but finds its own voice in the bit-parts of post-Brexit Britain.

    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]

    Not Tonight is Papers, Please-like set in a post-Brexit GB; it sounds good, but it misses some points.

    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.

    This game feels like Papers Pleas and plays similar to Papers Pleas. Game play is easy and story is rich.

    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    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.    … Full Review »
