Hotline Miami makes you feel things that you don’t want to feel. It shows you a veritable smorgasbord of ugly — from its jagged artwork to its stomach churning cartoon violence — and somehow makes you love it. Which is precisely the point. Dennis Wedin and Jonatan Söderström, the duo comprising Hotline Miami studio Dennaton Games, returned to their signature world of psychosis, brutality, and ’80s flash this March with Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. The sequel puts even more emphasis on story and character, which makes its ugliness even more affecting. We’ll discuss that and more with the studio during today’s two-hour stream of the game.
Starting at 3PM, you can catch our stream with Dennaton Games right here in this post, on the Engadget.com/gaming landing page, or on Twitch.tv/Joystiq. If you’re a new fan of the stream, make sure to follow us on Twitch so you know when we’ll go live!
