That and I want to see every inch of that journal covered in doodles. Apparently the release version had time-traveling debug key commands unlocked when you were in the Snack Falcon, but it got patched out.

I think I liked Undertale's raw gameplay a bit better. I view the platforming and minigames in NitW are mostly there for pacing's sake. I found it a lot more fulfilling both on the characterization and narrative side. (I thought UT had some fun characterization, but I just didn't feel what others did on the emotional level.)

Mine was 8 hours, I was fairly thorough to start but after the first several days I started not looking everywhere for extra content.

I would say 'big enough deal that I'd play the game before watching the video'.

Weird thing about the dream sequences is that on my second playthrough they just flew by. I think they work better when you're playing the game in short to moderate bursts, but if you're shotgunning the whole game in one sitting (like my first playthrough) they do break up the pacing in a way that feels frustrating.

I fear that more bats in the game would just underline how rubbish I am at hitting lightbulbs.

The way it should work is that Mae will just say "Mmm, delicious pretzels" up to the point where you find the miracle rat babies. I didn't find that area in my first playthrough (the platforming doesn't open up until after the construction worker fixes the streetlight in the town center). If she's not giving you the option of theft after finding the rat babies, then yeah that's a bug.

It's also fun noticing how Possum Springs becomes covered in rats. Not literally knee-deep in a sea of rats, but there are rats here and there pretty much everywhere.

My read at the time was also that he probably just decided to move on, rather than killing himself. I think the stuff about going to his kids was a line he fed Mae since he thought it would make it seem like things would turn out OK, and he (apparently correctly???) judged that she would fall for the blatant and obvious lie. When Mae relays this part of the story to Pastor Karen, she does so in a way that is more easily read as 'prosaic way of describing suicide'. I think this is inadvertent and just another example of Mae saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

That review is  quote:Developer Infinite Fall also excuses Mae’s deplorable acts by gamifying them. Stealing, destroying property, and stabbing are presented as fun, throwaway minigames. This design choice, coupled with the townspeople’s bizarre lack of criticism for Mae’s egomania, implies that sociopathy should be celebrated, not examined. Even if Night in the Woods had a cogent point, Mae would remain an unflattering caricature of a millennial. Benson and Hockenberry’s writing is unacceptable in light of Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition, which demonstrates how the hardships of a capitalist society give millennials and baby boomers more spiritual connectedness than many realize. e: the partisan swipes are especially funny as anyone casually examining Scott Benson's twitter feed will see very quickly that he has little love for the Democratic Party.

The author does claim Bea uncritically "goes on to support Mae's thievery" without noting that this reading is a little undermined by the immediately subsequent part of the scene wherein Bea guilts Mae into returning the stolen goods. Also, saying that Mae "can’t even offer her good friend a reason as to why she quit school" as an example of millenial immaturity or whatever is missing the point so thoroughly that I'm half-tempted to cite Poe's law.
