Hello darkness, my old friends.

<span class="bold">Night in the Woods</span>, an offbeat but strangely relatable story about reconsidering your life choices, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com.

When Mae returns to her hometown after three unfruitful semesters in college, everything seems changed: her friends have moved on, the city is in recession, and weird stuff is happening every night in the nearby woods. On top of all that, Mae is haunted by bizarre nightmares that totally mess up her attempts at a carefree daily routine.

Ten minutes in.
I love this game.
This game looks superb!
I mean, better than Broken Age or any newish point and click games superb.
Hey GOG, can we maybe get the free supplemental games Longest Night and Lost Constellation as bonus goodies?

This!!
Definitely going to check this out.
Anyone here playing this? I'm about 4-5 hours in and having a total blast! Definitely my GOTY so far. I suck at the Demontower and "rocksmith" mini-games, though.

Incidentally, my XBox One controller works like a charm and I think it's slightly preferable to the m/k combination (which I normally favor and was using for the first 2-3 hours of the game).

It really is the perfect game for a lazy Sunday or a stressful evening after work.
Oh, and Gregg rules ok.

I'm playing and I love it so much. Design, music, atmosphere, writing, almost everything about it is wonderful. Don't want it to end, so I just play one day of Mae's life everyday. Try to get all the events and dialogues, but I've already decided that I will do another playthrough once I've completed the game. Just to see what happens when I make other choices.

And I suck at Demon Tower too. Can't beat the boss at level three. :(

Level three one i just stayed left bottom and waited for the boss to zoom to full left or full bottom spot, whilst slaying mobs. Can't beat level four one though. Oh, and I'm also very bad at rockband, but I agree it's GOTY so far. I like story based games for grown ups who feel like they are about 5 years old :-)
Gee, you guys are good. I'm still trying to defeat the Level II boss and failing miserably every time :/

Btw, a small correction to what I said earlier: the game doesn't really use the mouse so it's just keyboard controls vs gamepad.

Level II boss, here I come again!
The characters in this game are alive.
I hope another game so good as this comes out until Killmonday Games releases Galaxy.

Are you just talking about a minigame, or does the whole game not have mouse controls?

As far as I can tell, the mouse is never used throughout the game proper or the mini-games. The controls are super-simple overall, it's just that everything feels just a tad more intuitive with a gamepad.

Except for the guitar-hero-minigame which is easier with the keyboard (because you can use four fingers instead of just one or two with a gamepad).

To be honest, I suck at it regardless of the input device, so...
Played the first session with a keyboard and the second one with my controller and completely botched both of them. Now there's a third one coming up and I feel like I'm no closer to getting the hang of it :(

At least I reached the third level in the Demontower dungeon \o/

In my eyes the third one is impossible with a controller (too many fast changes beween the opposite buttons).

And congratulations on reaching the third level in Demontower!
