As Sartre once noted, hell is other people – especially at a party where you’re the only sober one. ’s setup is a peach: two high school graduates unexpectedly find themselves in the underworld and have to outdrink Satan to earn their ticket back to the land of the living. But in practice, it’s like being dragged against your will into a conversation with a loquacious lush. If Night School’s goal was to prove that being drunk can be intensely irritating to others – the game’s stance on booze culture predictably boils down to ‘everything in moderation’ – then job done.
