On Friday, Oct. 2, [LIKELIKE](https://likelike.org/2026/10/01/special-event-future-no-thanks/?ref=killscreen.com), the neo-arcade Paolo Pedercini directs at 205 N. Evaline St. in Pittsburgh's Garfield neighborhood, opened from 7 to 11 PM for one night during the Unblurred gallery crawl. The occasion was a late release party for *Future? No Thanks!*, the Molleindustria game that had been on Steam since Sept. 4\. [The announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd9xTdbC8qn/?ref=killscreen.com) billed it as the last LIKELIKE event of the year and promised merch and a chance to meet the local cast.

The opening of the announcement trailer for **Future? No Thanks!*, silent here. The [full trailer with sound](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3861870/Future%5FNo%5FThanks/?ref=killscreen.com) is on Steam.

*Future? No Thanks!* is an open-world comedy set in an ecosocialist Pittsburgh in 2045, where Harvey Huffstone, a grumpy elder, works through a bucket list before a self-scheduled euthanasia. [The credits](https://futurenothanks.com/credits.html?ref=killscreen.com) list more than 40 voice performers, drawn, LIKELIKE says, from the community around [Glitterbox Theater](https://www.wesanews.org/arts-sports-culture/2024-09-12/grassroots-queer-normative-theater-homestead?ref=killscreen.com), a volunteer-run venue in Homestead. Tenley Schmida directed the voices and performed the motion capture, Dave English plays Harvey, and Glitterbox co-founder Teresa "Tree" Martuccio has a part. The same page dates the work: made "between January 7, 2021 and July 9, 2026 in Pittsburgh, PA."

Getting there was rough. Valve held the game in review past its July 22 launch over what Molleindustria [described](https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/indie-game-gets-last-minute-steam-delay-while-valve-reviews-its-dozens-of-untextured-polygons-depicting-ass-and-boobs/?ref=killscreen.com) as "dozens of untextured polygons," then gave it an adults-only rating that the Pedercini [called](https://kotaku.com/steams-decision-to-brand-his-open-world-adventure-about-a-cranky-old-boomer-pornography-is-humiliating-and-surreal-developer-says-2000729298?ref=killscreen.com) "the most humiliating and surreal experience in 20+ years of game making." The rating came down in late August.
