On the surface, Survive the Night looks like your ordinary 17 year old programmer game. But underneath that, is one of the biggest revolutions the medium has ever seen. Funny, smart, deep, timeless. Read on to find out why this stands as one of the finest licensed video games of all time, or indeed, one of the finest video games of all time. You play as Spongebob, the kid from the TV show who finds himself stranded in the wilderness, alone, naked, and afraid. The gameplay is simple; you need to sneak around the various rooms and do various tasks, which often involve talking to someone or getting to a certain room. It sounds simple, but between the deep stat management systems, The gameplay itself is extremely top-notch, similar to that of what would be metal gear solid or 007 for the N64. The immersion and dialog are unmatched. The graphics are life-like, the character portraits are so realistic you will think you are watching the show! I haven't seen such good graphics on a flash game, ever. As an audiophile, I can definitely say the soundtrack lives up to its expectations. It felt like I was back in Japan. What truly shines however, is the dialogue and the smart humor in the game. The dialog here is hilarious, and similar to that of something like you would see in Star Wars. And yet, it's full of life lessons and themes that resonates to all of us, children and adults alike. It teaches you true meaning in life. Like I said, one of the best games I have ever played, a masterpiece of this generation.
