Night in the Woods Review

Night in the Woods is an adventure game released for PC & PS4 on February 21, 2017. It was lovingly developed by Alec Holowka (@infinite_ammo), Scott Benson (@bombsfall) and Bethany Hockenberry (@cleodee). Published by Finji (@FinjiCo). For more info check out the game’s site. Screenshots taken by myself.

The premise is simple enough: Mae Borowski is just a 20-year-old college dropout who’s returned to her hometown of Possum Springs to reconnect with her old friends and sort out her life. But Night in the Woods is anything but simple. Every detail of this handcrafted world begged to be appreciated and explored, every aspect of the glorious soundtrack had me stopping and putting down my controller just to listen. Every conversation I had with the lovable creatures of Possum Springs touched me in a different way. I laughed outright, I got angry at those who didn’t understand, and at one point I downright sobbed. The mysteries of both the town and Mae’s friends kept me hooked, eager for more. And I got more than I could’ve ever hoped for.
