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. But things aren't the same. Home seems different now and her friends have grown and changed. Leaves are falling and the wind is growing colder. Strange things are happening as the light fades. 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. Break stuff, play bass, hang out, walk on powerlines, jump between roofs, and discover strange and amazing and terrible things you never asked for. Come home and waste your life away in Possum Springs.

it was very cute, but it was very anticlimactic and not very action packed. maybe i’m just a hater idk.

LOVEEE THIS GAME SO MUCH! it’s one of my all time favorites. I play it every fall and it’s just so fun and the atmosphere draws you in to the game almost like you become the character, May is my spirit animal ♥️
- thor of ragnarock · v1.0.1
love it sm 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
- KivandRek · v1.0.1
Loved the story but found it hard to play through as the game had minor glitches and the controls were a slight hindrance throughout my gameplay.
- iwantsoju · v1.0.1
I love this game so much! I didn’t expect it to be on iOS but the quality is amazing!! I highly recommend it, the story line is very entertaining and the character development is beautiful. Generally, the characters are all so precious!
- brainrotttzzz · v1.0.1
I love the game a LOTTTTTT!! Great characters, amazing dark spooky scenes, and I love just everything about this!But I do wish that the game is longer, has more lore other than playing it again and stuff and changing choices and whatever, and was a bit more darker about Mea and her having insomnia, more lore about Casey, and more about the stuff of the insomnia in this world of the game. But aside from that, I really like this game!!!!
- Maddddddd :P · v1.0.1
I freaking absolutely love night in the wooods the story line this app is the most emotional most heartwarming app I could’ve ever asked for developers if you’re reading this I truly feel like this game has seriously made me a very serious gamer and I got so upset when the app was temporarily removed from the App Store please keep this game on the App Store also for younger people yes this app this game is scary in some ways but it’s 100% worth the purchase Mae is a college dropout at 20 and you get to play this game for 9 hours honestly I wish this was a movie. This is a freaking masterpiece. I hope never dies I always feel like ever since 2020 games feel fake but this game inspired me with the 2017 energy I am giving this game a 154/10 meaning it’s so much better than I would’ve ever expected especially on console yes I also have it on console. I paid more and I don’t regret it all. Ignore all the haters please I’ve never loved a game so much the art and the development is amazing : now onto what I recommend purchasing this 10000% unless you don’t like games that actually have a story that means something that you would never regret purchasing unless you’re just ignorant thanks so much developers of this game for making this game and that’s all I have to say have a great day 😎😎😁👍
- Thegreatgamer72725 · v1.0.1

- 𝒋𝒋.. · v1.0.1
I've played through this game twice on Xbox and honestly ready for a 3rd play through on my iPhone. Definitely an automatic 5 stars without a second thought.
- Knotty Furry · v1.0.1
Fun but they lowkey talk to much
- Whoremiyno · v1.0.1
This is one of my absolute favorite games. The story is amazing and so is the art and music. If you want to buy the game i suggest getting it on nintendo, playstation etc (if your able to) the controls are a lot better and the game play is just easier overall.
- PrismoTheWishMaster · v1.0.1
I’m stuck in the mineshaft at the door blocked by wood planks and I’m trying to tap to get them off because I saw a tutorial to do it but I think it’s glitched because no matter what I do it just moves the hands it doesn’t actually grab the board and I tried exciting out and everything but it won’t change can I please get help? I’d love to proceed
- VAMPIREZGOCRAZY · v1.0.1
Pretty much the 2nd best game I have ever played, everything about the game is amazing the $6 is very much worth it!
- parker373636 · v1.0.1
I love this game I beat it like 3 times and it’s still fun I love that it’s a 2d choice and horror game kinda but still fun please make a night in the woods 2 pretty please I love the characters the story and the design I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME
- The first Roblox’s fan! · v1.0.1
So far, really enjoying this game. For the devs—there’s a demontower glitch that needs addressing. It’s impossible to play past level 1, even with all the enemies killed the door won’t open. I must have circled 10 times and visited the side room. there’s nothing left. I’ve heard demontower is an important part of the gam, please look into it!
- Gwndlynkd · v1.0.1
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!!
- Steph86xo · v1.0.1
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
- Mehl713 · v1.0.1
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
- meowv77 · v1.0.1
I have the game on every platform you can think of. Love the characters so much
- ZeoKane · v1.0.1
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.
- Gideon Bratland · v1.0.1
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.
- Isjdnfijenrfiuernf · v1.0.1
Great game! Didn't have sound at first for me but the sound works when I use headphones.
- Nic2882 · v1.0.1
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.
- ani458 · v1.0.1
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!!
- J A Red · v1.0.1
I wish I hadn’t purchased this. Finally went back to it, and it’s just as bad as I remember, lots and lots of skipping through pointless dialogue.
- Kellydunwoody · v1.0.1
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.
- yeah uh no. · v1.0.1
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!!
- Ginger, With A SPECIAL Request · v1.0.1
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!
- coder484858 · v1.0.1
Overall the best game but maybe put a new game on the laptop
- Gravity falls guy 1234 · v1.0.1
Just ok. Artwork is really good
- Disorganized orginization · v1.0.1
It was worth it my 4 words means the world
- ragna cristina · v1.0.1
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.
- ex0du5 · v1.0.1
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.
- Boredandrandom · v1.0.1
The touchscreen controls are very finicky
- Jimgreer · v1.0.1
i love the story line and everything about this game. the ending made me cry.
- magnolia peirce · v1.0.1
i remember watching jacksepticeye play this a few years ago and wanting to play it so bad. i’m glad it came out on IOS
- kayrcc · v1.0.1
Amazing writing, good designs, and a murder cult, easy five star
- (°~ °) · v1.0.1
I saw Yub play this game so I decided to play the game :)
- çòół · v1.0.1
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)
- Heed guide · v1.0.1
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.
- Rand0mCat · v1.0.1
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.
- Lexilie · v1.0.1
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.
- Seldemer · v1.0.1
I don’t even have nothing to say it’s perfect 101% playing

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!
- Atlas_is_dead · v1.0.1
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.
- Warship Satan · v1.0.1
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.
- AlcoholicStepfather · v1.0.1
Not for me
- Crimsonblade08 · v1.0.1
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
- jesse15522 · v1.0.1
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!
