Night in the Woods

Night in the Woods is a 2017 single-player adventure video game developed by Infinite Fall and Secret Lab and published by Finji. Set in a world of zoomorphic humans, the story follows a young woman named Mae, who drops out of college and returns to her hometown to find unexpected changes. The game was funded via Kickstarter, where it earned over four times its initial US$50,000 funding goal. Prior to the release of Night in the Woods, a companion game titled Longest Night was released in December 2013 by Holowka and Benson, along with co-writer Bethany Hockenberry. In December 2014, a second supplemental game was released, titled Lost Constellation. The game was released on February 21, 2017, for Microsoft Windows, Mac, Linux, and PlayStation 4, after a pushed-back original release date of January 10. The Xbox One version was released on December 13, 2017. An extended version of the game, titled the Weird Autumn edition, was released for Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on December 13, 2017, and also for Nintendo Switch on February 1, 2018. It features new content not seen in the first release, as well as the supplemental games. A version for iOS was released later on September 9, 2021. Night in the Woods received critical praise for the soundtrack, story, dialogue, and characters.
