Game Description ⮟
College dropout Mae Borowski returns home to the crumbling former mining town of Possum Springs seeking to resume her aimless former life and reconnect with the friends she left behind. But things aren't the same. Home seems different now and her friends have grown and changed. Leaves are falling and the wind is growing colder. Strange things are happening as the light fades.
And there's something in the woods.

On 45:20 Mx can be pronounced as "mix" or "mex", both are valild versions! and thanks for adding it
I feel I should give you a piece of advice, the eyeball symbol and speech stuff doesn't go away until you have finished all the dialogue, so you should keep interacting if they stay, there is some great and heartfelt stuff that alot of players miss because of this.
This is gonna hit real close to home for me as someone who had to drop out of college due to severe stress and anxiety deteriorating my mental health. The overall pressures that come from a 4-year college education was just too overwhelming for me, and that's mainly due to how my upbringing had me settling for a very introverted, almost shut-in lifestyle.
It's still taking me some time to accept the fact that that kind of environment/path isn't for everyone, and that, just because I haven't reached those milestones for a "successful" life like all others, it doesn't make me a failure. Rather than being so fixated on how everything is changing and moving on without me, I should be focusing on finding my pace.
I hear you there. After four years, two LOAs, and three different therapists (the last one finally sticking) I finally let my University degree go this year for almost the exact same reasons as you ,as well as COVID lockdowns, to move on to new things. Your words meant a lot and I hope you're doing well atm
Wow another sweet and wholesome game, I sure hope nothing bad happens to these funny characters like in omori!
Waiting for something to happen?
@@bwaindead5539 that was slotted in so smoothly lmao
@@thinekyoobious8932 I do this every single time
I’m excited for this! I haven’t played this game so this will be a fresh start. Omori introduced me to your channel and I’m loving your content!
I hope you enjoy it! It's a fun game to play.
Sameeeeee
this game pretty much shaped me as a young dude when i first played it
glad to see it on the channel!
This game shaped me as a mid-thirties dude
@@Fuchsia_tude You're 30 and you don't know how to change your pfp?
This game really made me feel A LOT of things… And I haven’t even moved out of my home town! Guess nostalgia in general is just too strong.
I think the game is set in the 2010s since when Mae is insulting the shop she says that dead bodies from the 60s are also 50 years old. It's also common for more countryside cities or cities with a lot of elderly people to still have VHS.
22:04 "Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch, who watches over you..."
Yooooo she actually did start a playthrough on it. Loved this game man.
im so excited to see your playthrough of Night in the Woods! i never did get to see the full extent of the game, but oh boy am i happy youre picking it up :D
Man, I remember when Jacksepticeye first played this. It’s been so long. Time for a refresher!
I still hear his voices for characters. They just work so well...
I’m so exited for this new series!!! I haven’t played this game or hear of it so it will be a surprise!!
Trust me this game is amazing. Sadly one of the developers died
It's been forever since I've played it too!
damn straight from omori to nitw
my hearts not gonna be able to take all the feels at once
Pretty sure the game takes place around the year 2010 because of this line in 52:20
This game is SO good. The characters, the writing, the story. It'll be fun see what you do and don't remember as we go through.
Also just to let you know/remind you, but interactables will usually have different text if you look at them a second or third time. The interact icon will disappear when Mae has no more comments on a thing. Just like with conversations.
You actually CAN go to the right of the stairs on the second floor, just need to jump over the gap.
As for the time period the game is set in, it's explicitly the 2010's. Note how "something in a hole in the ground for 50 years" was "dead people from the 60's."
OOOOOHHHH I LOVE THIS GAME AND NOW SEEING YOU PLAY IT IS GONNA BE EVEN BETTER I LOVE HOW YOU ALWAYS HAVE INTERESTING STUFF TO SAY NOW WE'LL GET TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO THIS AMAZING GAME
I am so happy you're playing NITW!! I love it and i'd love to hear a commentary from you, and to just watch a playthrough of it again
i know you are going to play it your way and that's how it obv should be, but a bit of advice:
- you can jump over the stairs and go right, in Mae's house
- hanging out with friends gives you connections and a better understanding of their life, and usually people choose Gregg bc he's freindly, but Bea's side of the story is very interesting too and it's deeper than just "she's grumpy and doesn't like Mae bc reasons"
- as long as there's an eye icon or a talk icon you can keep interacting w someone/something to learn more. there's always new text
Funny, in every single blind LP of this I've watched except one, they all pick Bea because she's responsible and they need each other and "Gregg is a bad influence on Mae"
@@Fuchsia_tude oh. interesting. i've seen people talk a lot more about Gregg. maybe he's more popular among non-letsplayers and that's why? his route is great so i don't complain
@@bunnycat5552 Maybe. I mean obviously Gregg is really popular. But just about every one I've watched they pick Bea's route, and I'm not sure why LPers would be constitutionally or philosophically more inclined to pick her route over his than gen pop is.
@@Fuchsia_tude yea idk. it's definitely an interesting thing, but i have no idea why it is, and maybe i shouldn't even see that deep into it lol
i just found your channel tonight, from the lost phone playthru, and i'm so glad you're playing this because it's extremely important to me.
funny thing about trauma is that sometimes you just assume things will end, and then you find yourself older than younger you ever thought was possible, and it's like "damn, how did i get here?" this game found me at that point of my life, realising the pain wouldn't stop unless i made it stop. it told me that it's ok if it hurts, it should hurt, you still deserve love and support.
i'm so glad to be here, to actually live a life that while not stress free is at least authentic to myself, that at least allows me some compassion for myself.
and i genuinely couldn't have done it without this little story.
and yes, when i came out, i took my name from here
i hopped a train so to speak, just upped and left one day, it probably was a mistake in hindsight. to get help, you have to be able to ask for help, and i wasn't, didn't have the words, and so i left. it was again, this game that brought me home.
found you through omori, so hyped to see your reactions to this. your laugh is genuinely so uplifting, i'm sure your patients love it
Lol I imagine Mae spacing out every time the commentary trails off to explain things.
(This game encouraged me to be more outgoing the first time I played it, it really put me at ease.)
(Hope you enjoy it!)
IM SO EXCITED I HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME IN FOREVER I LOVE IT
im really happy to see you play this game since nitw is one of my top 3 favorite games/pieces of media ever and has defined my as a person in ways i cant describe.
i literally just finished NITW yesterday what!? i was not expecting this wow
What great timing!
this game means so much to me, and has positively impacted my life in a period where i was very lost. Thank you so much for playing it
oooo nice! this is one of my favorite games of all time!
This game has so many option branches that it's hard to know everything about it. But my favorite thing, beside the art and music, is the queer characters. :3
About the stigma of living with parents: I'm 28 and due to having an...extremely small salary, I live with my family. But I also am the only one who earns a monthly salary at home, so even though I earn less than $500 a month, I have to pitch in to help my family with bills and groceries, bc I am relatively stable.
I've gone through 5 very different jobs, and hundreds of applications and interviews, since I graduated 6 years ago, and I still haven't earned back what my studies cost my dad at all, even when I've barely had any free time/vacations in those 6 years. And I can't afford an apartment nor a Master's degree... Damn, extreme capitalism. 😭
:0 gasp, one of my favorite games
Same, I'm so excited :3
32:00
when she talked about it, I imediatly remembered about Drake and Josh ...
I know this is an older video, but I felt compelled to speak. There is a quote "comparison is the thief of happiness." I feel like it is a fine line. A while back, I was in a not great situation, and the first thing those that kept me did was make sure I got rid of my social media and had no time to go online. Not being able to compare my life to others, I could not identify the situation as abusive. It was only after I started comparing my life to others that I realized how I was being treated was not normal and could leave... but I can see how comparison can mess people up too... i guess that's why there is no one size fits all solution.
1:01:26
It is set in 2010 if people from the 60s were dead for 50 years (mentioned at 52:20)
The town is just outdated
OMG NIGHT IN THE WOODS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GAMES!
Sorry for all caps lock but im so excited!
Your LPs are so comforting and interesting to watch ❤️❤️
I have NITW but I haven’t found the motivation to continue playing it myself. I’m glad you are though cause now I can watch the story unfold with your commentary!
Gregg rulez ok?
ok?
OKAY??? (points Gregg's crossbow at you)
Good, I'm glad we're on the same page.
OMG NITW YALL BE PREPARED TO GET WAYYY TO EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS
10:08 - HAHA I was just about to say that...
Great to see you enjoying this game =) Excellent chill pill after Omori. Good job patrons!
I often see people talking about “how do they differentiate between the ‘animals that are people’ and ‘the ones that are just animals.’” In my mind it’s really a case of relatives on different evolutionary/taxonomic branches. Much like how humans are a species of ape, but we are closely related to other primates.
I’m so happy you're playing Night In The Woods 😭💕 Can't wait to see you continue this series!
Man, I need to play this game again!
The game leads to the same ending, but, I went through more of Bea's route rather than Gregg's
_Plus, I might have been on auto-pilot through this_
Oooh, I legit jumped on my bed when I saw the thumbnail! So exited to see you cover this game!
Thank you so much for playing this game. I've been wanting to watch this for a while and now I that I have a moment, I am quite excited to see where this game goes.
This is a great game. Deep and nuanced with fleshed out characters and town. Phenomenal soundtrack, as well.
It's a great game for a therapist to play. I'm looking forward to hearing your analysis of the characters. I actually beat it just days before going into in-patient rehab and mentioned it to my therapist. That's what drew me to your playthrough.
Super excited for this playthrough! :)
Oooooh I'm excited!! New series and Night in the Woods, really looking forwards to this one
YESS I LOVE NIGHT IN THE WOODS IM GLAD YOURE PLAYING IT
I've heard a lot abt this game but never got the chance to play it so I'm excited :D
Not sure if you react to other types of media, but it would be very interesting to see your reaction to The Stupendium's "Shine Through".
First time I'd found media that understood the struggles of mental illness without talking down to the person who is struggling to survive with it.
Really want you to check out Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass!!
Omg, I'm so happy you're starting this game!!! It is phenomenal, imo at least. I hope you enjoy it!!
Oh my God I'm so happy you're playing this
ayyy! this games a good one :) can’t way for ur mental health analysis!
My recommendations for games for you to check out are drowning, what comes after and hue these games give off strong emotional vibes so be warned if you play these
This game is the ONE game that I cannot play or watch.
The story hits way too close to home.
I'm gonna eventually play it myself but until then I have to improve my mental health dramatically.
And once I do, I will return here and listen to your insights!
Im glad youre playing this game :D
Also idk if it makes it easier to spell but Pierogi kinda go like pi-e-rogi if you wanna spell it
I probably made it more confusing,
I dont know how to explain but its written the same in my language :’)
Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but if you haven't realized it (might have, judging it from first 30 minutes of the video). when you interact with anything, keep interacting until the icon goes away. If it's still there after you interacted with it, means there's still something new to see or say.
You will miss a lot of funny (and not so funny) dialogue if you only interact with everything once.
Looking forward to this one. Should be fun.
Subscribed!
This is my absolute favorite game
i started playing this game 4 years ago and i continued it yesterday and its so much fun + i love this and your omori gameplay
10:10
NITW does have heavy topics at the end of the game thought, i would recommend searching them, two of them are depression and derealization as far as i know!
Such a good game I'm really glad more people are getting to experience it:)
Lets goooooo two of my favorite games, omori and nitw, I'm so happy to see you play them haha!
awww you didn't do the multiple choice at the start! its tough to notice, tbh. i don't think it matters too much since it doesn't take away from the experience, but it's fun!
omg!! i cant believe youre playing nitw (night in the woods). its one of my favorite games ever, and it would be awesome to hear what you think by the end. looking forward to this!
omg yes! finally! 👏 i can't wait to see what choices you made throughout this game
Ah I can't wait to see your playthrough of this game! Have Fun!
LOOOL!! I was going to recommend this game next, but you're already onto it!!!
You... probably want to put stickers on the buttons of your controller... those bass segments are pretty recurrent.
Nice, i was going to play this but maybe I'll just watch your gameplay :)
Oh. I think it should be stated. When the game presents a choice in who you hang out with, Greg or Bea, pick one and stick with them for the rest of the playthrough.
It’s nice to see someone who voices the characters. I watched jacksepticeye play it but it got a bit weird with the Irish accent… plus I don’t watch him anymore so it’s good to watch another play through.
OH MY GOD YOU'RE PLAYING THIS GAME!
Great!!! this is one of my favorite games!!! excited to see u playing it :) Cheers from Argentina
I keep forgetting that this game exists and I hate it, this game is actually pretty well made
NIGHT IN THE WOODS!
Banger after banger on this channel.
This game was very impactful for me. I hope you enjoy it!
Ahh I love this game it’s the best:D
I found this game named "CONSIDER IT"! I don't know if it has a lot of psychology in it but i think you'd like it!
I feel like this is a game that might have had content warnings a few years later if it was released then. I just can’t remember what content that would be besides depersonalization
Someone needs a x box controller lmfao
You think after a few years they’d have added something for ps controllers though
I think mx is pronounced like mix I'm not completely sure though.
Oh! Night in the Woods! This is a good one!
I was never able to find myself enjoying the game until now
Wow, as a millennial who dropped college and live with her parents it's seem like this game it's talking about me, pretty cool
ooh i love this game!!!!! yessssssss!!!!’
is it just me or does this game give anyone Little Miss Fortune vibs? so recommend that one and Fran bow. would love to see what you think if those games loved omori btw. you gave some great insight on some topics that i've had questions on and you helped me with a starting point to looking deeper. thank you and stay safe out there.
I personal favorite game of mine is dont escape: four days in the wasteland, its the fourth and final game in the series and theres a game after that I would recommend playing deep sleep
OMG YES IM SO EXCITED THIS GAME IS SO GOOD!!!!!
Age 31. Living with parents, University art major. had a paying job for like 6 months. Quit after a co-worker and a couple bad days in a row pushed me too far.
1:04:55 feels like gen z humor
I came specifically for Omori, and now I’m here to stay. Not my intent, but I’m not complaining. I’m eager to see the next part of Night Book.
IM ECSTATIC (😎) !!! I LOVE THIS GAME
OMG NIGHT IN THE WOODS
Yes my fav game i got my made character,s name from base of Mae
First OMORI and now NITW?? two of my favourite games :)
I wanted to start this game but I don’t know anything about it
Ayo
Eels!
ayoooo NITW!!
Love this game :D hope you enjoy it.
It’s happening =DD
I hope you’re doing good too!
As someone who ran away from home
Even tho it was more like
"Today i am going to my friends house because if i go back home today i feel i will explode"
And it was horrible knowing that my mom was searching for me somewhere
