Across each of the characters, excluding the five fans as they are always together, the players learns of who they are and how they fit into the overall story. Instead of using various different masks with their own unique abilities, Hotline Miami 2 increases the number of playable characters from two, Jacket and Biker, to twelve. While it may seem like just a funky looking indie game with bright colors and heavy music, the Hotline games really stand out with their stories and is worth paying attention to all the details. This is the early 90’s America after all where communists are constantly seen as a threat to their democracy. Now the masked murderers’ killing spree’s have become famous and have given birth to slasher movies made based on him and vigilantes rising up to take the streets back from the communists. The story is confusing, complex but oddly beautiful and relies on interpretations made by the players to make sense of it all much like in the first game. Wrong Number is set before and after the events of the first game, in which Jacket killed off the Russian Mafia and their leader, brainwashed by the 50 Blessings and avenging his deceased girlfriend. The perfect way to describe the sequel to the greatly acclaimed game Hotline Miami.
