I was surprised that this was released on iOS, but I’m so glad they did. You won’t regret purchasing this game, it’s fantastic and will absolutely get you in your feels. But the port from other systems to mobile is a bit buggy. The movement controls aren’t the best, and sometimes buttons are difficult, almost impossible to press because of the placement of them on the touchscreen. Overall, it’s a great port but there are bugs that need to be fixed. If you have a few extra bucks, spring for the console or PC version, as it’s far easier to play and is not nearly as buggy. However, this is still a fantastic game and you shouldn’t be discouraged from purchasing it on here, as most of the main issues can absolutely be fixed with a simple update. Totally recommend!
I’m currently at part three of this wonderful game and I am unable to jump on one of the platforms that I am supposed to jump on no matter what I do. So I just can no longer progress. I tried to figure out a way to fix that problem but I can’t so I thought my best bet would be to go on here. If anyone can help me out or give me instruction on how to fix this issue that would mean a lot. This game is lovely and I really want to continue playing it. I just can’t progress due to this bug. Please purchase this and play it for yourself though I’m pretty sure this is just an unlucky thing that happened to me. It really is a lovely game. TLDR: great game, can’t progress due to bug, help would be appreciated
A wonderful balance of witty script, cute characters, and terrible, all consuming existential dread. I LOVE IT. Seriously, I never write reviews but NITW is something else. I never thought I’d find such a breathtaking game on mobile. It’s more than worth the 6 bucks- it’s 10 hours of gameplay, it’s GORGEOUS, and gosh darn it, I felt like I was saying goodbye to old friends when it ended! (Also, the LGBTQ+ representation is immaculate. I miss you Angus you sweet beautiful top hat man)
I love the storyline, graphics, and characters in this game! But the handling leaves something to be improved. Some of the dream sequences are too dark to see where you can move and what will just make you fall, anything that makes you press a button sometimes take several attempts before it recognizes you’re not just moving the character’s hand, and after choosing to look at more news articles there was no way to exit that once I read them all! Would love to give this more stars if some things get fixed, but with the glitches and it costing $6 I can’t just yet.
so this has been one of my favorite games for awhile now, ever since i watched a playthrough of it (Glooms Playthrough) and ive been obsessed with it since, the story is good and fun, its so easy to just forget about the world and just focus on this game for hours, its soooo good and i love that you can play bass, i sucked at it at first but the more i practiced the better i got, so i can do all the songs without missing notes. ٩(☆▽☆)۶
My brother and I backed the original Kickstarter for this game and patiently waited for release. We played it in tandem on launch day, taking different paths, making slightly different choices. We both found characters all too uncomfortably familiar, things that hit just a little too close to home. Because we grew up in Possum Springs. We know these people. And we know their pains. Please play this game.
Played this game on PC when it was released, on switch a few years ago, and now ready for my 3rd play through on iOS. Just love returning to that feeling, and what better time to do so than when the weather is just starting to get cold. Thank you developers for continuing to bring this game to new platforms!
The characters are relatable, the story is interesting, and very complicated messages hide behind seemingly simple plot. Well done Finji! The only problem I have with it are the controls for the mobile game, which seem to be a bit buggy, but I’m not going to remove a star for that. Thank you for this great game!
The game itself is wonderful. I adore the art style, the characters, and the story itself! Would definitely recommend this game to my friends/any young adult trying to find their way. Only deducting one star because Gameplay on mobile is a bit tricky and hard to use at times. The nightmare sequences are also a tad hard to see. OveralI, it’s a very good game and I highly recommend giving this it a try!!
I love this game so much. So much to the point I refuse to acknowledge any of the minor set backs (like moving mechanisms being a bit hard) just to dwell in my love for this beautifully crafted story. I’m already excited to replay the game and do all the different choices. Thank you for such an exquisite game. It’s truly amazing.
This is such a good game 😭 The cute and fall themes are what make it so comforting. This apple port of the game is so much better and easier then the computer version. You really won’t regret purchasing this. I’m a huge fan of this game and I’m now obsessed with it. CG5 made me a fan of this game. You have to play this.
I play this game every fall. This is my third time playing it, and in every playthrough I find new things to do and explore. It’s such an exquisite, impactful game, with wonderful storytelling and a beautiful soundtrack. I absolutely recommend this game to anyone - more than a platformer, it is an unforgettable experience.
This game is a masterpiece. The graphics are absolutely stunning, the soundtrack is so beautiful and the storyline is full of twists and turns that make it amazing. I would 100% play this again and again.
Everything about this game is fantastic — the writing, the art, the bizarre mini-games. If you’re so wired, this game will make you nostalgic both for western Pennsylvania and your self-sabotaging post teenage life. Can’t recommend this enough.
If you are into creepy cosmic horror, and yet also worried by the soul deadening onslaught of the commodification of our lives by abusive hierarchies, and saddened by the loss of meaningful connections in life, and maybe troubled by a looming existential absurdity, then this could be a fun game to give a go! Angus is my dude. I grok Angus.
I love this game but I really wish they made a sequel because it hurt my heart the way this game went It’s the experience of the game it’s not how good it looks you really connect with the characters
Absolute classic, but are the sun rays missing in Mae’s bedroom? Normally wouldn’t mind but I hold this game’s presentation in extremely high regard, so the little details matter a bit more. Also having it capped to 30 is okay, but would love 60.
I just finished the game and it was amazing!! I loved it! Kinda sad it over but it was such a great story line. If you like exploring, mysterious, friendships, and just living life you would love this game! 11/10!!
nitw is one of my all time favorite games, i’ve played it so many times because there’s so much to see in this game. i was absolutely thrilled to see it available on mobile! it’s definitely worth the $6 for all the fun, bittersweet, and heart-wrenching moments you’ll feel playing this game. i definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a good time with a more serious plot line.
This is so boring!! Bought cuz of reviews but way too much to read. It’s nothing like oxenfree which is amazing!! Was looking for a game similar and was directed to this game. Sad I spent money on this. I kept tapping the screen to get me through all the text but I got anxious cuz it’s never ending. Don’t waste your money!!
This is not an adventure game. It’s a tedious platformer where if you can’t negotiate micro taps and finicky running, walking, and jumping commands you are only going to be playing this story for about 2 minutes before you are completely stuck at the town fence. Total crap.
If you graduated college OR dropped out THIS was literally MADE for YOU By an amazing animator and amazing writer. Play it. Please. A ballad to several generations. Rust belt.
I am not an arcader. This game includes not a single piece of instruction for an iPad. How do I jump? What is the notebook for? Total waste of money as I cannot move or do anything.
College dropout Mae Borowski returns home to the crumbling former mining town of Possum Springs seeking to resume her aimless former life and reconnect with the friends she left behind.

And there's something in the woods. Join Mae on a trip through her hometown and into the dark on the other side. NIGHT IN THE WOODS is an adventure game focused on exploration, story, and character, featuring dozens of characters to meet and lots to do across a lush, vibrant world.

Come home and waste your life away in Possum Springs.
