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.

TL;DR: I enjoyed Night in the Woods purely for its vibe and occasionally profound writing. I can't recommend it though because the plot doesn't deliver on paying off for me. It always felt like it was building up to

This game is a story-driven game with some lil minigames and a really good artstyle and music. I started this game with all of the good intentions in the world, i remembered it from a youtuber years ago, it seemed cool

The slow pace of the exploration to get all the dialogue each day reallyyyyy grated on me and was why it took me ages to beat this game. However, I get why it's so seminal and still holds up. Mae is such an awesome
