Her mom works reception at the local church, while her dad lost his factory job but now works the deli counter at the big chain supermarket. Her friends and family have been adapting to these changes. You also learn that the space she once occupied doesn’t seem to exist anymore. As you explore you also start to get a better sense of who Mae is, and how she used to fit into this place.
So it not only narratively makes sense, but it nicely serves to introduce the town to players who don’t have that same connection to the place that Mae does. The mining and manufacturing jobs have all dried up, local shops that were once institutions are closed replaced with national corporate retailers. Because of this, exploring feels natural because while the town was once familiar, it has become very foreign to her in the nearly two years she’s been away. Possum Springs is where Mae spent most of her life. You can talk to Mae’s neighbors, friends, and family as you explore, learning more about them and their story along the way. Mae moves around the town by running through the streets, walking on power lines, and jumping along rooftops. The game is a mix of some point-and-click adventure game elements (exploration with some light puzzle solving) with a side scrolling platformer.

Night in the Woods is the story of Mae, a 20-year-old college sophomore, returning home for the first time in almost two years after deciding to drop out of school. In our new biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend, and since it’s a long weekend in the US this one is a little longer than normal.
It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play.
