Night in the Woods 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Infinite Fall and Secret Lab's 2017 adventure game, in which Mae, a young cat, drops out of college and returns to Possum Springs, a town of animal people in decline. The game is organized into days: you wake in the afternoon, talk with Mae's mom, explore the town and spend the evening with friends. You wander, talk with residents and search buildings for secrets, and townsfolk have new dialogue each day. Each evening Mae chooses one of three friends, Gregg, Bea or Angus, to spend time with, and choosing them advances the main story. Minigames include knife fighting and band practice sessions, and platforming is a core element. Your choices affect the story and how relationships develop. The town is still a place to get to know: days that start the same way carry new dialogue and you choose a friend each night.
