If you love long walks under foliage
Adventure game Night in the Woods is slightly haunted, the same way it feels to walk under rows of changing trees you’ll see eye-to-eye with. Like Scarlet Hollow, Night in the Woods happens in a little town with a lot of secrets, some of which are localized in its imposing woods.
But “mostly, Night in the Woods is a game about wandering,” Riley MacLeod writes in a 2017 Kotaku review. “[Main character cat] Mae climbs the same hills, passes the same people, and visits the same places in Possum Springs. […] Everyone in Possum Springs mills around and talks. […] Sometimes you have dialogue options, but who you choose to talk to matters more than what you decide to say.” It’s a winding, wistful walk home.
