As an actual 20 something college dropout from a small town. This game hurts. And it's so good.

Night in the woods is what made me get into art. For so long i was thought art was just entertainment but when i played life is strange and thought it was good, then immediately played nights in the woods i said "oh... so this is just life is strange but actually good..." and ever since ive been into art critique and writting. It sucks becuase i cant "turn off my brain" anymore so I can't enjoy bad art at all but the highs of good art is better than any drug.

Having played this game at a really tough transition period in my life, it resonated much more than I could've ever expected. The tired hopes of betterment with the Bea route felt like a knife driven right into my gut, having experienced similar instances to her in my life. This game will always stay a timeless masterpiece of storytelling, and I hope that the studio's next game will match these feelings of 'just trying to make it' in life that gave me a new viewpoint on moving on with my life. Besides all that rambling, perfect video detailing the little things that make this game so great, and I definitely agree that this game should be given a try by everyone watching this. Keep up the quality stuff! :D

What I love about the game is backstory, everyone has problems in the game and they don't have it easy. Just like in real life. This game is so well done. The main character hits me as someone who had to drop out of college for a while, it was a mix of the pandemic among other things. I'm trying to get back in just to get something for a job.

something i never expected you to cover, and a welcome surprise.

I CAN'T WATCH IT RN BUT OMG- BEN TY FOR COVERING ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAMES EVER IM SO EXCITED

so happy for u covering this game its my best friends favourite!! great video as always too :)

I was actually watching a playthrough of this game when I had to drop out of college due to a problematic living situation and no more financial support. I always think about this game during a hectic time in my life.

going into this i was admittedly a little scared. night in the woods is such an important game for me (i make sure to play it every year, even more so try to play it for halloween), and i was worried that mae might get misinterpreted as an objectively bad person (as i've seen that happen before). but seeing that you recognized that while mae has flaws she very much cares for her friends and family cured my faith in humanity. this was a wonderful overview of the game that even gave me more insight on some scenes that i hadn't realized before, and showed me some cool details i've missed (like mae dissolving into shapes at the end of her dreams). now i wish fall would hurry up for my yearly replay of this game thanks to this video :3

Yoooo! Thanks Ben for covering this groovy game! This made my day.

now that i'm older, it's been really cool to see how nitw has impacted me creatively. always great to see people covering it all these years later :)

The night in the woods is very scary and really spooky! But very cute Artstyle!

As someone who played this game at 22 after dropping out of college: This game fucking destroyed me and at the same time it helped me start putting myself back together. I don't think I exagerate when I say I doubt I'd be in the same position I'm in today if it weren't for this game. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most influencial piece of media in my life. Thank you for covering it. I'm a bit fearful of what you'll say, which I know is dumb cause everyone has their own opinions and the right to have them.

im really happy that this game is getting talked about again cause it slightly felt like it just came and went im happy that its still rememberd

It's a game I've wanted to play myself but never really been able to, and even watching it has to be done in short bursts. Mainly because I relate far too much to Mae, and it's hard not to cry watching how her life has gone with the uncertainty she feels about her future.

oh yeah, the guy that zoe quinn drove to self deletion made this. dont forget that part!

NITW is my favorite game of all time, and getting the collectors decision last year is a decision I will never regret.

BRO I LOVE NIGHT IN THE WOODS Its rly cool you covered this

When i saw this video after going onto YouTube, the first thing going through my head was 'Oh you son of a'. This game is one of my favorites, and being played by one of my favorite youtubers is even more awsome
