Night in the woods characters1/3/2023 ![]() They are fully realized dynamic characters. ![]() They are just two characters, both of whom happen to be male, who love each other. There is also a same-sex couple in Night in the Woods, but the game never makes it a big deal. She’s a regular person with flaws and strengths. She’s not a delicate flower, nor is she an unstoppable, can-hang-with-the-men badass. The character of Mae doesn’t succumb to the typical female-tropes of current video games. The lead is female, and she is smartly-written. Mae doesn’t need anyone’s help to make her own mistakes!Īnother major part of why I love this game is the depiction of underrepresented groups. ![]() ![]() This is video games’ equivalent of Garden State and Clerks smashed together, with a bit of Lovecraftian mythos thrown on top for good measure. There is just something so real and genuine about the characters in the game. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say it belongs in the upper echelon of video game writing. ![]()
