Not Tonight: Take Back Control Edition is a post-Brexit management game developed by PanicBarn, released in 2020 for Nintendo Switch. Combining time-pressured role-playing mechanics with a politically charged narrative, the game casts the player as a bouncer navigating a Britain reshaped by the fallout of Brexit. Decisions carry real weight, with the option to align with a resistance movement or avoid confrontation and simply endure the regime. The Take Back Control Edition bundles the base game with Not Tonight: One Love, a full additional chapter that continues the main storyline. In this extra chapter, a character known as King's Head Dave, thoroughly disillusioned with the state of Britain, relocates to France in search of a fresh start and romantic connection. The combination of resource management, narrative choices, and social commentary gives the game a tone that sits somewhere between dystopian fiction and political satire.
In an alternative Britain where Brexit talks have collapsed, an extreme far-right government has taken power. Citizens of European heritage have been rounded up and exiled. Forced out of your previous life, you find yourself in the midst of a booming gig economy, fighting to scrape by and return to the city you call home.
