This might be the first Night School game that I don't like enough to make my way through. I keep dropping it and have a hard time getting back to it. I think it's the format more so than the story. There's something about the way the game is broken up that deters me from wanting to play. It also doesn't help that I've lost my progress a couple times due to the way the game handles autosaves and save checkpoints.

Usually the Backbone One improves gameplay, but Night School hasn’t done the best job optimizing this game for controller input. Analogue sensitivity is far too high and navigating the ship through obstacles is much harder using a controller than via touch control. Also I keep experiencing an issue where pressing the interaction button while on the ship simultaneously launches one of the game’s two main in-game menus. It gets frustrating when I’m just trying to interact with doors or other items on the ship.

Character writing in Next Stop Nowhere feels like a step down in quality from Oxenfree and Afterparty. Although Night School often leans on sarcastic humour, this game seems only to contain sarcasm. Think Afterparty with no chill. I hope that changes because I usually enjoy their writing. I’m still early in the game so there’s room for tonal shifts, if any are planned.

Every time I have to open the star map I have to reset to main menu and start again. That’s a pretty annoying glitch….
