This is quite the game to play, here at the end of the year. While the events of the world did leak into Where Is 2017, that was more hopeful and funny kinda. A year which could be beaten, that could be replaced with a new, kinder year.
This game is not like that. This is a year where the threat could be seen (if unintentionally so) right in Where Is 2020, but nobody could have predicted how devastating unleashing this year upon the world could have been. And the year that comes next has no external shell of newness or kindness anymore, but just a blank, ominious stare of unknown potential, for both ill and maybe even good.
In short, even if I'd rather real life hadn't had to write this plot, the way the Where Is Year? games have evolved with time have been quite something indeed. Let's hope 2021 is kinder than it looks, eh?

Thank You for writing this. Also - the more cute each new year was - the worse it turned out. So here's hoping for the future.
