6About Night in the Woods
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 bought this game originally because I liked the art style and thought it looked endearing. This game is that and so much more. The characters are relatable and well written, the story itself is pretty great (though it felt a little too fast paced near the end) and it's got a strong sense of depth to it that you probably wouldn't have expected from the game at first glance. I don't really want to give anything away about the game but if you are someone who has passed the teenage years of your life (or at least to the point where you are no longer in school), this game may hit home for you. I think my favourite aspect of the game is it's balance between humor and it's emotional moments. Nothing ever feels out of place or like it's trying to shove messages down your throat. It's very quirky and funny but not afraid to sit down and have it's philosophical and melancholic moments. I really admire a game that can find that balance. Seriously, just get the game. I would like to add though, that the game itself took me about 9/10 hours to complete so that may seem rather short to some people. Personally, I was okay with it since it ended on a satisfying note and the complaint of it being short is really just down to the fact that you just want to spend more time hanging out with the characters. 10/10

This is a thank you letter to the developers
This is a thank you letter to the developers. My cat died two days ago. I had to make the decision of having him put down. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to but it was the right thing to do. He didn't suffer, he died in his sleep. He was 18 years old and he lived a good life. We all loved him and although he didn't like to show it I'm sure he loved me back as much as I did. You see, I've never really had anyone to talk to, to share my most hurtful feelings, and although he couldn't talk he was always there. He was there when my parents got divorced, when I was bullied at school, every time I felt alone I know he would be there to keep me company and not judge. It feels like it was just yesterday when my parents brought him home when I was a little kid. This is my first tough loss, and it's hurting like hell. But I won't let his death make me bitter, I want to come out of this becoming a better person. The love I had for this cat, it was immeasurable. And weirdly enough Night in the woods has helped me cope, although I'm not sure how. Maybe it's because I got to play a cool and lovable cat-person, maybe it was the bonds I made with these awesome characters, maybe it was getting to walk around Possum Springs feeling at home, maybe it was the story. It was a bit of everything I guess. So thank you for making this a bit less hard and thank you for this amazing game. G.
