It’s a wonderfully written and animated story with tons of variety in the gameplay. Also, everyone is a talking animal.\nStick around after the spoiler break (at 45:28) for a discussion of the game’s themes and politics, as well as the ending and memorable story beats.\nNight in the Woods is available for PS4, and on Mac/Windows/Linux via Steam and itch.io for $19.99. Expect it to take around 6 to 8 hours to complete.\nThis week we also have an after-show (at 01:12:00) discussion of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a decidedly not-short game.\nLinks for this episode:\n\nLate Night Work Club\n@bombsfall on Twitter: “should be mentioned that the only NITW character with a canon voice/affect is Gregg. he’s the guy with the glasses. https://t.co/pteh6ncYkX”\nScott Benson on Curious Cat\nMulti-album soundtrack by Alec Holowka available on BandCamp\n\n\nYou can follow our show on Twitter at @_shortgame\nLike the show?
