my early years as a teen was spent with my best friend, playing this game at her house for hours. Now we have two kids and are married, and on our anniversary in a week were going to spend time together replaying this masterpiece of nostalgia.

Truly a life changing experience for me. I come back every few years for a fresh playthough, and each time I walk away relating to different characters and with a new perspective. If you want to fall in love with an atmospheric game that wears its heart on its sleeve, this is the one.

“I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do.” -Angus Delaney A quote that stayed with me reminded me that even if the universe is possibly meaningless and we have no purpose in the grand scheme of everything, the people around us make it matter. We matter. Even in a universe that doesn’t care, we matter because we care. amazing game 10/10 art, music, dialogue, characters, etc

I've known about this game for a really long time, and every time someone tells me to play it, I think, "I should, huh?" and then just kind of never do. I live my life, do my daily things. Go with it. Then, I finally decide to buy the game. And, just like that, magically, everything in the game's premise lines up with mine (except the whole - you know). But, everything else? All too familiar. All too real. All too relatable. Leaving. Coming back. Bad job. Giving up. Growing up. Seeing people leave. Worries. Numbers. And... it just felt like, this game 'waited' for me to be ready to play it. Probably just a coincidence, but to me, that's something magical. I definitely recommend this game. I wouldn't be typing this out if I didn't. It gets you thinking. It doesn't matter if you learn anything from it. It doesn't matter if it changes or doesn't change your life. It happened, you played it, something something something. It's just a part of you now, and well, I think, that's what it's supposed to be.

This game is so important to me. It has permanently increased my standards for writing in video games, which is unfortunate because I have never found another game like it. It's hard to describe everything that makes this game so perfect. I hope someday something this good gets made again. Until then, I'll just be replaying NITW every October forever.
