![]() What we played was a demo that will be “highly tweaked” according to Infinite Ammo team members Alec Holowka and Scott Bensen, so the storyline may be more complete or have actual branching paths if the game’s goal is to tell a specific story, then perhaps branching plot points wouldn’t make sense after all. You can tell that Mae is conflicted about where she is has gone in life, where she is now, and where she will end up. You can replay the conversation that you just had by talking to the character again and choosing another option to see how it plays out differently. ![]() Leaves blow by, birds land on power lines (which, as a cat, you can climb onto, naturally)…It’s a relaxing, autumn day.Īs you speak with various other characters, you are given the chance to choose different responses to things that they say, but they are small choices that don’t seem to have much influence over the story. Cars whiz by every so often, and a handful of people shuffle up and down the streets. You’re walking in a city that has seen better days, but is still pretty lively considering it used to be a mining town. This doesn’t really detract from the experience, since the game is a visual experience more than anything. Australian game developer Anthony Tan has worked hard over the last few years of his life to create Way To The Woods. ![]() This is still an indie game, after all - voiceovers are pretty rare in this genre. Way To The Woods is all about a deer and her fawn finding their way home in a post-human world. The story is presented in dialogues between Mae and several of the townsfolk through speech bubbles. Inspired by Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and The Last of Us, Way to the Woods is a game about two deer in a strange, abandoned world who must find their way home. This is the initial premise of Night in the Woods. Interacting with the world and exploring both urban and barren landscapes leads you to discover the abandoned paraphernalia of life as it used to be as well as strong connection between parent. Of course, Mae’s hometown of Possum Springs didn’t just stand still while she was gone, and neither did any of her friends. Way to the Woods is an adventure game where you play a fawn and a deer trying to survive their long journey home after human civilization has collapsed. Yes, in Night in the Woods, you play as “Mae the Cat.” Not just some mindless, cute cat either, but a 20-year-old feline who has dropped out of college and is back in her podunk hometown, expecting to return to her life exactly as it was when she left three whole semesters ago.
