About Future? No Thanks!
Future? No Thanks! drops you into a 2045 ecosocialist utopia where climate action, thriving democracy, and public‑good technology define daily life.

The game offers a narrative‑driven, open‑world adventure that lets you indulge in outdated pleasures, wander a post‑post‑industrial Midwest, and interact with wacky inhabitants. With seven non‑linear quests and roughly six hours of play, the experience is paced by the player, free from timed inputs or pressure.
