When she returns to her hometown from college for her grandfather's funeral, the secrets of his life and the mystery surrounding his death strongly intrigue her and prompt her to take action. It is these aspects of her personality that send her out on the game's main adventure. She is a college student majoring in journalism which helps to highlight both this inquisitive nature and refusal to back down from complicated situations. These issues come to surface as the game goes on and help to flesh her out as a very dynamic character. On the inside, however, she is battling her own personal issues such as her strained relationship with her family and coming to terms with the loss of her grandfather. Kathy is a very interesting protagonist Kathy is tough on the outside - she rides a custom motorcycle, puffs on her favorite brand of cigarettes, and doesn't take lip from anyone. You can fall into a nice habit of checking in with the NPCs and locations you care about most, almost like in real life where you prioritize the people and places you spend the most time around. When you're not talking to people or going somewhere, you can play around with the rhythm mini-game as you practice with Mae's bass either in her room or in her old band with her group of friends. Poking around all over town to find out the history is pretty cool, like the underground diner that Mae used to steal from back in the day, or the old shopping mall that barely gets any customers anymore. You go wherever you want, finding out stories about the townspeople and the town itself, or hanging out with friends for scripted story moments. It's mundane, but there's a lot of meaning to find around the town if you're willing to look for it. The simplistic gameplay is surprisingly fun Running around the side-scrolling town as Mae day in and day out is more enjoyable than it sounds at first. And it manages to be a pretty fun game, on top of that. In short, Night in the Woods is high-quality literature. Everyone and everything has a history, even if you barely glimpse it and though the whole is imaginary, nearly every detail is real. And not just individually community interactions, and even the town itself show the same attention to detail. or at least, a well-stitched collage of real experiences.
It's because every character is a real person. That's why so many reviews talk about connecting personally with the characters. Everyone expresses a unique perspective they are wonderfully diverse, and every one of them rings true. Enemies voice mutual hate while struggling side by side to hold a slowly-dying small town together. Friends have bitter arguments but remain friends. Characters wrestle with depression, poverty, death, doubting their own senses they strive toward goals, find fun, band together against adversity. Each character, even ones you have only a single short exchange with, feels substantive like they have whole unique lives of their own, outside the plot. Theodore Lief Gannon's Experience I had a couple of people tell me Night in the Woods is pretty good, but no real details as to why. This type of story is familiar for anyone who has also had a hard time with similar problems, and eye-opening for anyone who hasn't.
You see all the ways she doesn't necessarily want to grow up, wishing she could stay a kid forever, but then she talks to an old acquaintance who thinks she's washed up now, making her feel anxious about her failings as a young adult. You join in on that struggle as you live as Mae: aimlessly going around town talking to everyone and listening to their worries, browsing your laptop when you're supposed to be doing other important things, and even pressing a button to wake up in bed every morning as a reminder of how mundane life can be. After dropping out of college, the main character, Mae, struggles with her own disillusionment in life and refusal to grow up, all the while her old friends find success and move on without her. Great coming-of-age story The coming-of-age story in Night in the Woods is unconventional for a video game, making it more unique and intriguing.
