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.Ĭoming in 2017 to PC/Mac/Linux and PS4. 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. In 2017 join Mae on a trip through her hometown and into the dark on the other side. Strange things are happening as the light fades. Leaves are falling and the wind is growing colder.

Possum Springs is waiting for you.Ī Nintendo Switch copy of Night in the Woods was provided by Finji for the purposes of this review.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. If you’re looking for a great narrative-based adventure game to get caught up in, you really should play Night in the Woods. It’s a game that tackles all sorts of topics so well, and with care, and rarely have I seen a game handle mental health issues especially like Night in the Woods does. As I was playing I just got caught up in the little town of Possum Springs and the daily goings-on of everyone there, and just never wanted it to end, even when the main story wraps up. The setting and characters of Night in the Woods may go down as some of my all-time favorites. It wasn’t ever too much of an issue though and happened fairly infrequently so it rarely took me out of the game. ![]() The game runs well docked and playing on the tv, however, sometimes there were some framerate dips when I was playing in handheld mode. As I did not play this when it first came out on the PC or other consoles, I’m not really sure what bits were added in, so I would say they did a good job seamlessly dropping in the extra content. The Switch version adds some new mini-games and dream sequences, as well as the scenes from the pre-release mini-episodes that were originally only available on the PC. Night in the Woods has been out for around a year on PC With the Nintendo Switch release, you get some of the additions seen in the special edition releases of the game. Turn to the right (north), and youll see another two in the distance. Night in the Woods has finally made its way to the Switch, bringing with it the charming, yet very real adventures of Mae Borowski and her friends in Possum. Alec Holowka did a fantastic job on the soundtrack, and you can even pick it up on Bandcamp if you feel so inclined. When you start, go through the archway and youll spot a torch, which initially act as your guide through the Lost Woods. Another great standout is definitely the soundtrack, which varies from some simple synth-electro pieces, chilled indie tracks, and even some great garage-punk sounds you get when Mae and her friends are jamming. From the dark woods at night to the hilly streets of Possum Springs, and to Mae’s crazy and vivid dreams, there’s a lot of great visuals to take in during the playthrough of Night in the Woods. I found myself taking a number of screenshots throughout the game just because of how fantastic some of the scenes could be. Product Type: Toggle Light Switch Primary Material: Wood Overall: 5 H x 6.88 W x 0.25 D Love these. These Wood wall plates are made in the USA. The latter bit of the game really gets crazy, but again the characters are so well-written that you just want to see where the story will go and how Mae and her friends will solve some of the goings-on around Possum Springs.Īs for the visuals of the game, Night in the Woods has a very charming, children’s book style, brought to life by artist Scott Benson. These wood wall plates and outlet covers are a beautiful addition to any lodge, log home, or lake house. There are some plot points, however, that lean towards the supernatural, and I think that helps you remember that it is a game, but it doesn’t ever get to be too much. ![]() Top that off with Mae, someone that is struggling with a number of mental health issues, and figuring out what to do with her life I was constantly in awe once again at how real the developers at Infinite Fall have made these characters. While the game is populated with very cute animals, the cuteness doesn’t change that they mirror any blue-collar town in everyday Canada or America that has faced the same types of closures and changes in the local way of life. Possum Springs feels like a real place, with very real people affected by advancements in technology and changes in global economies that affect small towns relying on things like coal. It is the combination of deindustrialization of the town, the loss of jobs and people, and Mae’s own existential crises, that really captured my attention.
