![]() The Night in the Woods development team clarified via Twitter that the new Weird Autumn content has a high risk of breaking saves for the base game, so players are encouraged to either turn off auto-updates on their platform of choice and finish up their current save, or simply start a new save file if they want to immidiatly experience the Weird Autumn additions. Perhaps the most substantial difference between the base Night in the Woods game and the Weird Autumn version is that the two previously-released side adventures Longest Night and Lost Constellation, adventures which were offered as standalone experiences to Night in the Woods’ Kickstarter backers, have now been integrated into the core game, giving all players a chance to experience them. ![]() A new pink guitar located in Mae’s room which lets players partake in a nice little musical mini-game. ![]() New dialogue options for existing NPC’s.A few new characters sprinkled around the game’s locations who have new dialogue to share.New petty crimes which protagonist Mae can perform with her friends in Possum Spring for all you troublemakers out there.Night in the Woods is one of RPS's favourite games of the year, earning a spot on the advent calendar.A few months ago, it was announced that the quirky indie game Night in the Woods would be getting a special director’s cut edition called ‘Weird Autumn.’ Now, that edition has officially arrived, allowing both new and returning players to partake in the definitive Night in the Woods experience.Īccording to reports which have been filtering in from both the Night in the Woods Steam page and Reddit (the game’s development team didn’t release any sort of patch notes for the Weird Autumn update), the new changes and additions that have been added into the director’s cut aren’t very substantial, but they do include the following: The Weird Autumn update is live and free now for all versions of the game, including Steam, GOG and Humble. Yes, it's the feature so many have been clamouring for: You can replay all the musical minigames, just in case you wanted to hear Die Anywhere Else again, if you've not had your fill of fan-made vocal covers, that is. If they were to make another NITW game, would you rather it be a prequel about Mae before university / moving to university, or A sequel game about Possum Springs and Gregg and Angus lives in Bright Harbor, and Bea maybe goes away to Uni, and Mae has moved out, Etc Etc. Players on the Steam forums are already reporting a few extra dialogue options here and there, plus Mae's room now comes equipped with her old bass, so she can reminisce musically when chilling out at home. ![]() So yes, this probably means more opportunities to raise hell with Gregg, and should lend it all a little more replay value if you want to see all the scenes. A lot of Night In The Woods' interactivity came from hanging out with your estranged friends, getting into trouble and embarking on petty acts of rebellion and vandalism because there's nothing better to do in the gods-forsaken town of Possum Springs. On the subject of crimes, there's more of them to do. Now, they're part of the story, if you don't mind having despondent troublemaker Mae take a break from her crime-spree to sit down for a town history lesson every now and then. The biggest addition to the Weird Autumn edition of Night of The Woods is the full integration of Lost Constellation and Longest Night, two shorter promotional games that were released for free over the course of NITW's long development cycle, each offering a unique, if brief spin on the setting. I've also seen almost everything the game has to offer, thanks to friends streaming it several times over, and now I might have to tune in again to see what's fresh, thanks to the game getting it's very own director's cut version, extended and expanded to coincide with its console launch. While I absolutely love so much about it, from the characters to the art to the music and beyond, it's not particularly my sort of game - I'm more of a hands-on, solve problems kinda guy. Depressed animal economic collapse adventure Night In The Woods exists in a strange place in my consciousness. ![]()
