Two Point Studios, the creators of the popular Bullfroggy connected universe, have announced a new addition to their lineup – Two Point Museum. This management sim game takes players on a journey through the world of museums, with quirky exhibition themes and hilarious gameplay that is sure to keep players entertained for hours on end.
Gameplay Features
In Two Point Museum, players are tasked with building and managing their own museum. The goal is to create an attractive and engaging space that fulfills the needs and demands of visitors, in order to earn cash. The game features a variety of exhibition themes, including prehistory, with relics such as dinosaurs, primeval stone computers, and cavemen encased in giant ice cubes. Each exhibit generates “Buzz” based on how well it is arranged, leading to more donations from visitors who range from school children to artefact thieves.
One of the key differences in Two Point Museum compared to previous Two Point management sims is the building mechanics. Instead of being constricted by rooms, players can use partition walls, archways, floor materials, lighting types, and decorations to structure and define each part of the museum. This opens up a whole new world of creativity and customization for players to explore and experiment with.
Players will also have the opportunity to send out fossil hunters and tomb raiders to explore a gradually revealed world map in search of new museum artifacts. These experts are also essential for keeping the exhibits clean and well-maintained once they are installed. Additionally, exhibits can be “leveled up” through research to increase their earning potential, adding a strategic element to the gameplay.
Despite the light-hearted and comedic tone of Two Point Museum, the game touches on some deeper themes related to the museum industry. In light of ongoing discussions in the UK cultural sector about repatriation of stolen artifacts, the game raises questions about museum ethics and the origins of certain exhibits. While the game may not delve deeply into these issues, it prompts players to think critically about the concept of museums and archives in general.
Overall, Two Point Museum offers a unique and entertaining take on the management sim genre. With its quirky humor, innovative building mechanics, and exploration features, the game is sure to appeal to both new and returning players. While it may not address all the complexities of the museum industry, it provides a fun and engaging experience that will keep players coming back for more. Get ready to embark on a museum adventure like no other in Two Point Museum.
