"All Mae wants to do is run around with her friends, break stuff and hang on to a life of aggressive aimlessness. She dropped out of college and returned home to her crumbling old mining town to do just that, but she's finding that nothing is the same anymore. The old town seems different. Her old friends have grown in their own directions. Mae herself is undergoing some sudden and unexplained changes, giving her mysterious abilities that grant her access to a side of town she never knew existed. The world is changing, things are ending, and the future is uncertain. Up behind the park at the edge of town, back in the trees by the old mine- there's something in the woods. And it could mean no future at all."

Night In The Woods is a new project that just dropped on Kickstarter a few days ago that blew past its initial funding levels. Mixing up some great art and story themes the game really seems to take the gameplay into a sort of indie movie style. According to the Kickstarter they have a very early gameplay prototype being built and are looking for funds to flesh it out and polish it up for release.

"What we’re attempting here is kind of ambitious. We want to create the feeling that the player is actually visiting another world full of unique and well developed characters. This involves combining gameplay elements from a few different genres with a lot of handmade content, including a great deal of unique character animation and environment detail."

Can't fault them for being ambitious but hope the scope of the project is something that can be finished reasonably. That said, what do you think of Night in the Woods?
