There’s a lot of lovely little touches to the game too.

Gregg’s quite easily the best character by far – his thirst for mischief is infectious and you can’t help but love his constant desire for reasons to bunk off work.Ī lot of the interaction between the characters is really touching, I could feel myself beaming slightly at Mom telling me she loved me, and during a fall-out with Bea I felt myself getting annoyed that I couldn’t say anything that would prevent the conversation going downhill, and when it was over I felt so upset at how it all ended that I had to make her my first stop the next day to try and patch things up creating characters you care about is tough work, but in Night in the Woods its done superbly. Bea’s hostility comes across even when it appears that an initial reconciliation has been reached between them. Mae’s parents talk lovingly to her at all times, even when arguing, like they know she’s going through a tough time, but don’t want to force her. The dialogue between all the characters here feels completely natural, and despite the lack of voice acting you can practically feel the tone of each conversation. So, it’s not much of a surprise that when Mae starts experiencing creepy goings on that they pretty much decide to pack things in to help her figure stuff out.

Mae’s friends also have their own problems, Bea is a goth, forced to run the family business after a breakdown following the death of her mother left her father unable to cope, Gregg is a hyperactive fox in a leather jacket, unhappy with the fact he’s working what he considers to be a dead-end cashier job in the local mini-market, while Angus – Gregg’s boyfriend – works at the local video store and, well, actually seems to be ok. She has a tendency to put her foot right in ‘it’ on many an occasion causing her to fight with her friends, and this reminds you that Mae is still completely her own character there is no ownership of her despite the dialogue choices on offer. Not being able to deal with life how many others would means Mae doesn’t completely understand the personal problems of those around her. Mae herself seems to suffer from depression and at times crippling anxiety this leaves her constantly feeling like she can’t talk to anyone about the past events in her life or why she left college.

Night in the Woods is a smartly scripted affair, telling the story of a group of friends who aren’t happy with their lot in life, while tackling the subjects of capitalism and mental illness.

She may not feel like she wants responsibility, but it’s evident she thrives on it as can be seen with her dedication to a family of rats inside an old parade float, or when she throws herself full force into the creepy goings on within her town.

Her friends have grown, they’ve got responsibilities and yet she remains behind them emotionally and in life experience.ĭespite not wanting the daily routine of a job, Mae’s life is a fixed series of events whereupon she wakes up, checks her instant messages and then goes out to bug her friends at their jobs. Mae Borowski is twenty years old and she’s just returned to her home town of Possum Springs after dropping out of college (much to the chagrin of pretty much everyone).
