I first bought this game back in 2022, played like 15 minutes of it, then dropped it without a second thought. I really like the artstyle of this game, it's themes and soundtrack, and i really want to finish this game, i just need to stop putting it off for no good reason.
Also, i'm well aware of the controversial background and history this game has with it's creators, and i WILL NOT BE TOUCHING THAT SUBJECT WITH A KILOMETER LONG POLE, SO DON'T EVEN BOTHER ASKING ME ABOUT IT.

Acho q acima de tudo Night in the Woods é sobre enxergar os problemas do mundo real e não fugir deles, pra mim isso fica claro quando é revelado que a Mae nn está mais na faculdade pq ela nn consegue mais distinguir o real do irreal e ela aprendendo com a Bea que as coisas reais estão lá mesmo que você não as veja.
ANGUS SWEEP!!!
This quote changed my life btw "This won't stop until I die. But when die, I want it to hurt. When my friends leave, when I have to let go when this entire town is wiped off the map, I want it to hurt. Bad. I want to lose. I want to get beaten up. I want to hold on until I'm thrown off and everything ends. And you know what? Until that happens, I want to hope again. And I want it to hurt. Because that means it meant something. It means I am something, at least... pretty amazing to be something... at least..."

Beautiful beautiful game. The ending is a bit if a shock, but thematically it does make sense even if it seems like it comes out of nowhere. I adore Mae and her friends and their journeys navigating their 20s, and I do have hope for all these fictional characters. I feel like it's just a game about caring, for your life and for others.
