‘Papers, Please’ Gets A Surreal Clubbing Twist In This New Bouncer Simulator

Crunching Koalas

No pets, no kids, no creeps, no blue jeans. Being a bouncer means knowing who to invite to the party and who to turn away at the door. In a newly released bouncer simulator out now on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, it also means knowing how to fish, dodge fireballs, and resist mind control. Techno Banter is a bizarre and constantly surprising adventure exploring the nightlife of a single street where you’re tasked with throwing the perfect party and stopping a doomsday cult while you’re at it.

Techno Banter, from Berlin-based developer Dexai Arts, wastes no time plunging you headfirst into its baffling world. You’re Nill, the bodyguard of an extremely powerful but utterly incompetent CEO, watching the door at an exclusive party. When the leader of a death-obsessed cult (who happens to be a cat with a katana-wielding bodyguard) breaks in, you’re fired from your job and forced to return to your old gig as the bouncer at the Green Door, a once-cool club at the end of Rainbow Drive.
