Description

College dropout Mae Borowski returns home to the crumbling former mining town of Possum Springs seeking to resume her aimless former life and reconnect with the friends she left behind. But things aren't the same. Home seems different now and her friends have grown and changed. Leaves are falling and the wind is growing colder. Strange things are happening as the light fades.

And there's something in the woods.

NIGHT IN THE WOODS is an adventure game focused on exploration, story, and character, featuring dozens of characters to meet and lots to do across a lush, vibrant world. After a successful Kickstarter it's being made by Infinite Fall, a teamup of Alec Holowka (Aquaria), Scott Benson (Late Night Work Club), and Bethany Hockenberry.

I left this game just feeling frustrated honestly. My largest issue with the game is that the plot doesn't really begin until the third act. If the game were just the third act then honestly I do think I would like the

Honestly if you really pay attention to the dialogue you feel a connection to the world that makes you understand that this is literally someones life right now and that kinda give it its charm in a way.
