Night in the Woods

Infinite Fall

Make time for a town and its people. An adventure for the conversations along the way.

THE DESIGN LENS

What makes this worth a closer look.

Night in the Woods puts its weight on exploration, story and character, with dozens of characters across a lush, vibrant world. Editorially, the town and its people may be the real content, with conversations doing the work that set pieces do elsewhere.

Before you make it your next game.

Character and story take priority. Check the pacing if you want constant action.
