Night in the Woods for PC, PS4 and etc. is a nostalgic arcade-adventure game that places an emphasis on the plot, exploration and characters. The game was created by an independent team known as Infinite Ammo, led by Alec Holowka, who created the soundtrack for TowerFall: Ascension and co-developed the arcady Aquaria. To a large extent, Night in the Woods was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, which achieved success within 26 hours.

Plot

The game is set in Possum Springs - a small mining town. The last mine gets closed and the town falls into decline because people do not have work any more. The player assumes the role of Mae - a cat with paranormal abilities, that quits her studies in order to return home and spend the last years of her youth with old friends. Among them, the player will find Bea - Mae's best friend, Gregg and Angus, who both wish to move somewhere else finally, or a hobo called Germ. The protagonist soon finds out that both her hometown and old companions have changed substantially and nothing is now as it used to be. Moreover, the streets get deserted unnaturally at night and something what could be at the bottom of it is lurking in the woods nearby.

OpenCritic

Eurogamer: by Edwin Evans-Thirlwell

A witty smalltown adventure with light puzzle-platforming elements that walks the line between nostalgia and nihilism.

Full Review

Game Informer: 8.8 / 10 by Elise Favis

Natural, clever dialogue is the most compelling aspect, mixing black humor, charm, and profound observations

Full Review

Destructoid: 9.5 / 10 by Raymond Porreca

All of this -- the unique pieces that make up Night in the Woods -- goes back to why it's so damn hard to define the game. There isn't an adequate term for titles that blend clunky platforming with choose-you-own-adventure friendship simulators. Nor is there a word to describe games that feature knife-fighting minigames and Guitar Hero-inspired band practices. But, again, maybe that's a big part of Night in the Woods' appeal. It's a confident outsider, and one that takes pleasure is celebrating the weird ways that everything comes together in life.
