All My Talk Of Taking Action, These Words Were Never True.

I've started playing Night in the Woods! It strikes me as ideal for a Higurashi AU: small towns, dark secrets, the 'outsider' (although Mae is technically returning to Possum Springs) and the group of friends who already belong to the town. Perhaps fortunately, my ability to write this is limited by the fact that I haven't yet experienced the last

Night in the Woods is a fantastic game! Remember to examine everything examinable until the eye icon goes away; there is So Much flavor text in that game, I swear. Did you figure out how to get onto the telephone wire above your house?

Good news on the spending-time-with-friends front: there are enough scenes where you're with everybody that it doesn't really feel like you're leaving the other one behind. Plus it's designed to give you a satisfying payoff even if you alternate between them--you do get locked into one eventually, but I think it chooses that based on the minimum majority, so if you've had like 4 scenes with Bea and 3 scenes with Greg then you get the Bea version anyway without being punished for being indecisive.

I've been wandering the wires, yes! And, fortunately, I realised fairly early on that you can keep getting new text so long as the eye or speech icon still appears. There really is so much!

It's really good to know I'm not making it impossible to reach a proper route by spending time with different people! Thank you so much.
