This is not a game with story elements, but rather a STORY with game elements: it's an extremely unique experience that uses videogames as a medium due to the interactiveness of it, moreso than to create "fun gameplay" It's kind of like... A mix of those children's books with interactive flaps on them and a choose your own adventure book, so really, it's more of a "gamevideo" than a videogame. Every "playable" part of the game (as in, parts where you're actually doing something rather than advancing the text) is carefully crafted to make you connect with Mae (the protagonist) and feel more engaged with the story on a personal level. Another cool thing about this gamevideo is that there's nothing that you as a player can do, that Mae WOULD NOT do as well. And this is brilliant, because instead of controlling Mae, you're *being* Mae. In other games for instance, it is so tempting and easy to go for the funny out-of-character option in a dialogue tree just to see the reaction out of everyone, or to do something incorrectly or to be scummy because you want to see what the so-called "bad-ending" has to offer, but NITW always stays true to Mae as a character that already exists, instead of treating her like just an avatar. I won't elaborate further because i really want you to experience this game for yourself. Just please be sure to be in the mood for a book before playing this "gamevideo", otherwise you might not appreciate Night in the woods for what it does right: the story, setting, ambience, music, characters, small interactive sections and vibes.

Do you wanna be reminded you're a burnout, that couldn't escape your small town, and are struggling with the fact that you're growing apart from all of your closest friends? No? Well too bad.

I've had Night in the Woods on my wishlist for quite a while, but recently picked it up because the timing just felt right. Let me just say that the description on the store page doesn't do this game any justice. It's good... really good. The writing is very well done, the characters are likable and relatable, and the atmosphere is just perfect (especially if you love cozy Autumn vibes with a touch of mystery). Don't let the cute art style fool you, it has some dark undertones throughout and was surprisingly deep when it wanted to be. I really enjoyed the humor, although it might not be for everyone. The mini games were fun, yet challenging — Demontower was the bane of my existence for three whole nights, but I'm also not good at roguelike games (this one was optional). Hanging out with your chosen friend was probably the most entertaining for me — Gregg was my absolute favorite, but I also loved the interactions and character development with Bea. The visuals were vibrant and beautiful in their simplicity, with music that complemented them so well. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this game going in, but I went along for the ride and enjoyed every minute of it. It's cute, fun, creepy and weird...truly a unique and interesting experience that I won't soon forget!

Sometimes, living feels harder than dying, With so much to bear and our shoulders crying. If time hadn't taught us the lessons to grow, We'd crumble beneath the burdens we tow. 이 긴 삶 속에서 언젠가는 빛나는 순간이 오겠지.
