Life is... weird right now, to be honest. I'm finally coming out of my depression. I've moved states, I have a job I actually like, I'm talking to more real people again, and I'm focusing on my hobbies. Suffice it to say that Night in the Woods helped me through some tough times. Not even that long ago, actually. About a year ago I dropped out of college following Sophomore year just like Mae, moved back home, and spent awhile figuring things out. Having a character I could very closely relate to was a big deal to me.
Hearing the soundtrack and re-playing the game brings a rush of emotions as I think back to how life was at the time. It's bittersweet.
To anyone reading this who's going through a tough time, I promise it does get better, as long as you're willing to put in the work. I had to pull myself up by my bootstraps, get help, and actively work to make my life better. I love you all.

I discovered and played this game in the middle of quarantine, april 2020 or so. I hit the fucking jackpot, everything was just the way I needed it to be: the right characters, the right gameplay, the right story, the right art style, and the right music. I loved everything about it.
I hardly cry. People usually tell me that that's just me being "manly" and not letting myself be emotional. Nah, I'm fine. I just have a hard time resonating with fictional characters because I always unconsciously think "oh, but these are not real, I don't need to care about them". I can accurately pinpoint the very few times I've actually cried because of a film, a tv show or a videogame this past decade. That being said, Night in the Woods got me. Several times. A couple of them, by playing the story, specially getting closer to the end. But once finished it and after finally uninstalling it, I cried yet again when I found the soundtrack on youtube.
I'm so happy this game exists. I don't suffer from depression or anxiety, but I need to work a lot on myself. Night in the Woods found me in the right time, it tucked me in and told me "relax for once. You're safe here".
And I've seen tons of memes and jokes about the characters and their traits, but for me, it more than that. I love Mae. She's an idiot who hasn't quite figured out how life works, but she's a great person and it's in the right path to improve herself. And I love Bea, Angus and Gregg. Perfectly realistic personalities who have their struggles and their own way of dealing with them. It's a beautiful story and there was no better way to tell it.
And I could go on and on forever (I wish I could. I recon this thing has a word limit and no-one is gonna read this anyway), but eh, gonna keep listening to the music for a while and call it a day. May replay the game any day now. I just wish I could forget it and discover it all from the beginning

This soundtrack to this game and all of Alec's music really shows that he did care for what he did. and i bet that whatever is after this life ,if there is anything, that Alec Holowka is making more music and doing what he loves. He made this game. And he made a lot of people pick up instruments. He inspired me to create my own worlds and characters just from his music alone. He helps us get through dark times. and that is awesome. but as KGhaleon and Ryuzaki said, well miss you Alec.

13:23 One of the endearing things about this game is that the sound of the cars struggling up that hill is someone making engine noises into a microphone.

Really fantastic music from a game I truly consider to be art. It had such a huge effect on me when I first played it during the worst year of my life. I was unemployed right after college and back in my hometown. I don't think I've ever related to something quite as much as this. Hearing the music still brings those good vibes. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in creating this. RIP Alec.

God, this game actually changed my life. I’m not kidding, it encouraged me to get to know my friends on a more personal level, step outside my comfort zone with things I did, and to explore the town I live in. All three of those thing has left nothing but good results and memories.
