Not Tonight 2 was a bit of a disappointment. The original game's beauty was how simple it was in its components and how complex it was when all of those components were combined. It feels like PanicBarn tried to do a little too much. Not Tonight 2 expanded the formula as most quality sequels should, but the components together didn't deliver the same quality experience that the first game did. Many of the additions feel poorly thought out, especially the ones that leave you feeling like you had no choice in the matter. Too many of the tasks you're required to do as a bouncer lead to success and failure on a random basis. This is not what you want out of a franchise that originally was known for rewarding a person's ability to juggle everything the game threw at them.

However, the addition of a more complex and branching narrative with multiple playable characters with their own stories was a great move! It gives the game more context and motivation, allowing for an experience that felt like it mattered the whole way.
