Let us make it a little easier for you to choose and take a sneak peek into what this game is all about.
Night in the Woods is a single player game developed by Infinite Fall, a studio that was developed by a game designer, Alec Holowka. It came across for the PlayStation, but soon grasped its reach on the Linux, Windows and Mac OS as well. This game is an exploration game, with main character, a cat. The users get to control the cat, and because it is a game that is meant to be explored, there is an element of surprise that lurks between every step you take to survive. This is probably one of the many reasons why this game was a big hit among all the gamers.
The gameplay has been designed keeping in mind the ages of the people who can get involved in this game. Successfully implemented on the physics of the game, the characters have been kept quite simple, yet entertaining. Since the main protagonist of this story is a cat, her friends are another cat, an alligator, a fox and her boyfriend. Apart from these characters who dominate the main part of the story, this game focuses mainly on the investigation through the different hurdles that come along the way, when the cat steps in the forest. The visuals have been improved from the last release by Infinite Hall, and the details have been taken care of. Since this mainly focuses on an environment related to the forest, the graphics had to be spot on and they have managed to do it. Soundtracks (audio in general) has also been on point, as they have managed to get all the eerie and the creepy tracks that the forests hold.
Set on a gripping atmosphere, this game is a must for all the people who have been looking to get their hands on something adventurous and scary at the same time with exciting story.
