Night in the Woods bekräftat till Playstation 4

Night in the Woods har nu officiellt utannonserats till Playstation 4 på Playstation-bloggen, detta tillsammans med en rad smaskiga detaljer från spelets animatör Scott Benson. Spelet beskrivs som ett "adventure/exploration game with a heavy focus on story, character, and place" och att döma utifrån de första bilderna och trailern nedan så har det en milt sagt säregen stil.

Benson själv beskriver spelet såhär:

"You'll be doing some running and jumping around, a lot of extracurricular activities, some bass playing, some smashing of things, and a lot of hanging out with your townie friends."

Här är de två första bilderna och trailern från just Night in the Woods, och under dem hittar du även storykonceptet saxat från pressreleasen.

Night In The Woods takes place in the crumbling town of Possum Springs, a dead-end backwater that is barely holding on after the mining jobs left. Mae the cat is a college dropout who has returned home to reclaim her teenage life with her friends who stayed in town. Bea stayed home from college to take over the family business after a death sent her family into a tailspin. Gregg and Angus are highschool sweethearts, working hard to get out of Possum Springs. Germ is a weird kid that hangs around. No one knows what his deal is.

What Mae finds, however, is that life and her friends moved on while she was away. Strange things are happening to her and to the town. Things are changing. And there's something in the woods up behind the park that might mean an end to all of it.
