Walkthrough

This section is a complete walkthrough for Night In The Woods, detailing every section and scene in the game. While it does tell you when a missable Notebook sketch is coming up, if you are only looking for the sketches I recommend checking the 100% Notebook Sketch section of the guide. This walkthrough will also cover most of the possible trophies and achievements as they come up, but for full details please check out the Trophy Guide section.

This walkthrough is meant to be completely comprehensive in nature. In each section, I have tables that list every single object you can interact with and some notes about the interaction. If you can get a notebook sketch or trophy from doing so, it is noted here. If not, it will just be some details about the interaction. Obviously, you do not need to interact with every single object in the game, and if you're interested in only getting through the game then skip the tables entirely. The text under the tables details exactly what you need to do to advance the game, in addition to noting the most interesting interactions from the previous section. It is entirely up to you how you want to play the game, and you can skip nearly everything or talk to every single person you meet along the way.

Additionally, the game occasionally enters some dreamscapes where you need to summon four ghostly musicians by walking up to the spot where they are playing. This guide will detail how to find all of them, and also will provide pictures to show how to find some of the more tricky ones. There are also multiple times in this game where you have to choose which of your friends to hang out with. This will slightly change the ending of the game, but I will describe all of the scenes in case you only want to play the game through once.

If you notice any mistakes or any omissions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks, and enjoy your stay in Possum Springs!
