Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat, exploration-heavy gameplay, or a large role-playing system may hit a wall because the game centers on point-and-click interaction.
- Players who want open-ended or endlessly replayable sessions may lose interest after working through the fixed hotel-clearing story and puzzles.
- Players uninterested in eccentric humor or 1980s references may bounce off the character writing and presentation.
Our take on Not Another Weekend
The likely bounce point is the point-and-click structure: players expecting combat, free exploration, or a broader role-playing system will meet the game's limits when progress depends on hotel interactions, dialogue, and puzzles.
What is Not Another Weekend?
Play as Mike Melkout, an eccentric bellboy with a dark plan for a high-class hotel.
The goal is to empty the building of its guests during one chaotic weekend while the clock keeps moving. This point-and-click adventure uses pixel art with an ’80s-inspired visual style and draws on pop culture from that decade. Progress combines a story with twists, humorous conversations, unusual characters, and puzzles. The cast includes comic figures based on recognizable ’80s icons, while the situations add a deliberately mischievous tone. An original soundtrack accompanies the hotel-clearing mission and its series of strange encounters.
