Night in the Woods is a single-player adventure game released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, and PlayStation 4 on February 21, 2017. A Version for Xbox One was released on December 13, 2017, while a version for the Nintendo Switch was released on February 1, 2018. Versions for iOS and Android will arrive in 2018. Night in the Woods is developed by Infinite Fall, a studio founded by game designer Alec Holowka, and animator/illustrator Scott Benson. Secret Lab, an Australian studio, built the game's narrative engine, and are creating the mobile version of the game.
It is a story-focused exploration game in which players control a young woman named Mae, who recently dropped out of college and has returned to her hometown to find unexpected changes. The game was funded via the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, where it eventually earned over 400% of its US$50,000 funding goal.
A companion game titled Longest Night was released in December 2013 by Holowka and Benson, along with co-writer Bethany Hockenberry. In December 2014, a second supplemental game was released, titled Lost Constellation.
An extended version of the game, titled the Weird Autumn edition, was released for PC, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on December 13, 2017. A Nintendo Switch version was also released on February 1, 2018, featuring new content not seen in the original game, as well as the supplemental games. Night in the Woods received notable critical praise, mostly for its story, dialogue and characters.
