Hello,

It’s me, Buy-Frank-Lewd-Mags. When I’m not stretching a joke way too far, I like to sit back and play video games. And I want to bring your attention to a game very few will have the chance to play: Mars After Midnight. Lucas Pope, of Papers, Please and Return of the Obra Dinn has given us the only PlayDate game that’s worth recommending outside of wether or not you want the console.

It’s funny, in a Elise Gravel sort-of-way, it’s fun, it’s clever, it’s a great video game.

I often play video games with the repetitive beeps and boops, as Ms. Buy-Frank-Lewd-Mags is fond of calling them. This time, I was playing the game and she said it sounded neat. Lucas Pope, you sly dog, you gone did it again.

Should you buy a PlayDate to play this game? For the first time since owning this yellow devil and playing many of its games, the answer is maybe …?

Now this is how you start a thread.

I played this at pax! It was tough to tell whether there was more to this than identifying mutant features and stacking plates efficiently. I assume… There is?

I bought this but haven‘t had the chance to play it yet. It seems like a sillier Papers, Please and I’m entirely OK with that.

@exodus Not so far, no. There’s a horn sometimes, or a zoom feature. You play a couple of sessions and you’re happy. Just like @LeFish said, it’s a sillier Papers, Please.
