Despite its lovely art style it can bring you to depressing levels you never knew such game could do. Playing the game through the eyes of a college dropout is hard as a lot of times the game imitates the real life social embarrassment.
That until it suddenly turns into a different game. It takes a deep turn to the cult mystery genre. It has some really haunting scenes especially with the perfectly placed soundtrack. Such a shame the last section of the story is so rushed and the ending isn't as satisfying as the beginning of the game.

I don't know how creator has done it, I am not even from America but I have lived in a small town, and this feeling of yeah the town still exist, but it's not thriving it's so on point.
The feeling of coming back to hometown and nothing have changed, it feels the same and people still remember the kid were and not that adult you that you are now.
Atmosphere good, like I don't even have to have a podcast or anything in the background. I am completely absorbed.
The story is so goddamn emotional punch. I can feel it in my gut, this early adulthood where you don't know what to do and don't know what to do with yourself. So just self hate comes.
Lots of small optional mini games and random encountered to make the Town feel alive, maybe it's slowly dying but the people in it are still alive.
The music is really good atmospheric works in all elements, in not something I would listen to outside the game but it works so well in the game. They played bass in a lot of it and it plays good with the main characters chosen instrument.
Lovely story memorable characters that will stay in my heart A good experience all around and a young adult classic.

If you were a fan of story driven games like Life Is Strange (and furry anthros). Then this video game choices matter game is something that is worth giving a try.
Night In The Woods is absolutely an amazing story game which follows our protagonist Mae Borowski living the life returning to Possum Springs. But aside with Mae she is also with her other friends who are also bandmates such as Bae Santello, Gregg Lee and Angus Delaney.
For a simple platform game that has no points to earn or doing something olatfomy thing like Mario. The game focuses on the story so much that it what really makes a work of art and most importantly the game even has the most recognizable characters too. But mostly almost everything in Possum Springs are absolutely interactable too.
But the best part of that this game has is it's minigame called Demontower. Rather having that minigame treated like a simple plain game but it's minigame has absolutely treated like an actual game that I am forgetythe fact it's still Night In The Woods. And the best part that this game it even includes additional two games such as Longest Night and Lost Constellation. But Lost Constellation is my favorite kind of extra game to play with.
But the thing I like the game is the replay value. I couldn't actually sleep the fact that not just I want to know Bae route but even Gregg's route too as well.
This game is something that I would definitely remember on what is like on absolutely great no matter what. And a perfect game for mostly the furry fandom.

The beginning was very slow, but the characters and their interactions were compelling enough to keep me interested enough in continuing. The bass playing was fun, but it was less important than I thought it would be. I really like how there's a lot of different storylines going on, and you get to choose to focus on the ones you care about. The gameplay was never very compelling, which is one issue I have with the game, but it makes up for it with how well the story builds up near the end.

Game was little slow and boring but soon the game keeps getting interested and intense as the story progresses.
Sounds and music of this game are great and enjoyable.
It would have been good if the conversation between two characters has voice-over instead just of reading the long conversation which was boring.
