As a noir with the punch of a pillow fight and a campy alien invasion as fun as mashed potatoes, Timothy's Night is a quasi-remake that is another misfire.

Overview
Timothy's Night: an open world video game full of action and adventure. Timothy had a pretty normal childhood for a gangster, except for the part where he was abducted. When he was just a kid, he was taken by these weird-looking beings who gave him superpowers. Since then, Timothy's done nothing except use those powers for his own benefit and now he controls the whole city. What Timothy neglected to remember was the part where aliens would come to conquer Earth... and now he's the scoundrel who has to save us all.
