Apple Arcade on Friday added another exclusive title, “Next Stop Nowhere,” a new choice-based adventure game from Night School Studio, to Apple Arcade’s growing catalog of 130 games. The game takes you on an unexpected an intergalactic road trip.
Before heading to the Earth’s moon to drop off a package, Beckett, a local courier, stops at the Themisto Tavern to rest. There he meets Serra, who reels him in on an adventure to find her son, who’s gotten into trouble with a crime syndicate.
Night School Studio also created the critically lauded games Oxenfree and Afterparty. While Next Stop Nowhere stands on its own, if you enjoyed the developer’s other work, you’re likely to have fun with this one too. While Oxenfree drops characters into an eerie world where you’re left questioning what’s real, Next Stop Nowhere is more high-adventure, the characters more madcap, the art style wilder and the narrative choices more life-or-death, according to the studio’s lead writer Adam Hines.

Oh oh! Apple continues to monopolize its own platform! Break it up. NOW. lol
Why do all these Apple Arcades games always have this flat no-textures aesthetic? I find it quite ugly.
I remember graphics like this on my Apple ][ in 1979. What’s next? Pong? Retro graphics are hard on my eyes, which is the main reason why I don’t subscribe to Apple Arcade.
