6 years later edit: I was 14 please don’t take this comment seriously! thank you 🫡 The animal question keeps coming up, so here are my thoughts. The animals who can talk are actually all humans, but they're depicted as animals based on their personalities maybe? Mae is a cat so she's stubborn, curious, and some times a lil bean! Gregg is a fox/dog so he's hyper, loud, joyful, and playful. Bea is a alligator/reptile so she's more "eHuuuUHg", likes to be alone, a lil bit distant, and so forth. Angus is a bear because he's chill, slower, big, and protective(??). And I'd say others are birds because they like to move all over and socialize, hence the one old bird dude that seems to be the head of the town committee. And so forth with the other animals that can talk. Heh, just a theory :P (edit: wow I didn't realize that I'd get this much support! Haha, thank you!)
now that I'm rewatching this again years later, I like the vague mentions of "cults" and "murder" and the electric noises happening underground throughout the series. Very good foreshadowing.
Jack, just because I missed it too, the chat icon with the cat and guns is supposed to be Casey's. He's the guy that used to play drums in the band instead of Bea, and now he's missing. This is all said at the beginning in the diner, but it's really easy to miss for some people.
Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire yea it said he was walking down the train tracks and nobody has seen him what if he got hit by a train and his hand went flying
Jack, I literally have a dream symbol book, and here are my discoveries upon my research: Bear = "Can represent a person who is a little stupid but good-natured. The symbol often indicates disappointment or that one is about to disappoint someone..." Maybe Mae feels that she's disappointing her parents? No job, quit school, it takes a toll. Squirrel = "Fast, shy, smart animal that symbolizes ideas, plans, and hope. Longing to be in nature..." Maybe this references why she came back to her hometown? I didn't find anything about a Tuba, Saxophone, or an Accordion, but I did find something about a Violin! Violin = It says it can be an "echo of the soul," and represents "domestic happiness." She likes being at home? Lantern = "Symbol of the light of awareness; it usually points to the need for taking a closer look at your problems..." This could point to her anger issues. Fire = "Either it is destroying something or it is giving a signal..." The lanterns are leading her to the instruments, therefore, leading her to happiness? I hope you enjoyed my lengthy explanation! I hope this helps with your understanding of this game. Perhaps I'll try and decode all the dreams of this game :) Edit: WOW I posted this so long ago and it’s still getting likes?? This is the most I’ve ever gotten on a comment ever lol Thanks my dudes
Solace did it remind you when u and your friend used to go to the woods and have fun until he went missing for a month only to find his body.. filling u up with sadness.
because gregg is such a cheerful character, hearing him saying those things and questioning if he is good was quite hurtful to hear. i cried slightly too, i love gregg.
I resonate with Mae on a personal level... She's still the same when everyone and thing around her has changed. It actually makes me cry a bit as I have depressive nostalgia over years ago when I had friends who I could just hang out with at the drop of a hat now I am lucky if I can even text my boyfriend at work because he's busy
I always think about how good life used to be when I was kid. Life wasn't always perfect, but who's life is actually perfect at any stage of existence? And it was sure as hell more of a better time to live in than living the life of an adult who feels that they barely have any hope for the future due to various negative events.
You ever feel like you’re the person who’s moved on, and feel really guilty sometimes because you feel like you left all your friends behind to move on?
it kinda seems that Bea is coming out of her shell a bit maybe it's just me but she seems to be wanting to hang out with Mae more and more like she enjoys her company and is glad that she's back
When Mae said she hated beer, I was sitting here drinking a beer. And when Gregg said he hated coffee I was drinking my third cup... I found that really amusing for some reason
cole bates Too much sugar, dude. They do not taste better, you just don't like bitter flavor, which is normal nowadays with industries putting sugar into literally EVERYTHING.
Moni 1439 Because it is not disgusting, we just like bitter flavors, unlike people like you, who are too used to industries putting sugar at literally EVERYTHING. It's pretty effing sad that bitter flavors are disapearing because now the majority of humans are whiny little kids that need everything to be sweet, otherwise they'll complain, such a simple taste, really... The real question here is: How can anyone dislike beer or coffee? There are so many different types with so many kinds of flavor... It's impossible that there is NONE that you don't like.
I fell like this game really did the gay relationship thing right. Greg and Angus are treated just like a normal couple would be, and it doesn't shove the fact that their gay down your throat. It is nice when games do that~ (Edit: the original content of this comment has not been and will not be altered, but I would like to clarify that I was 14 when I made this, had no idea I was nb and bi, and while I still love this game and Angus/Greggs relationship, the phrasing "not shoving it down your throat" came from an uneducated perspective. I was repeating things homophobic people had said to me in order to feel better about not hating a gay relationship. The only reason this comment is still up is to give context to the many replies/as a personal reminder of where I started).
I like that Pastor K isn’t a jerk or explicitly made out to be a bad guy because she’s a Christian. They just write her like a human being with Christian beliefs Somewhere in the Bible it says women shouldn’t be pastors. But I’d rather have Pastor K representing us than a jerk male pastor
Pastor K is what Christians are SUPPOSED to be. Kind, patient, not judgemental. The opposite of what lots of people seem to think Christians are. I really like her.
I’m an atheist, so the way they made her character out is especially enjoyable to me, because it’s just like you said. She’s not shoving her beliefs down our throats, and she is very kind and passionate about what she does
I wish the Christians and Catholics were that chill and nonjudgemental in my town The one's here are extremely forceful and rude to everyone. Every conversation has to involve god looking out for them
We can't not came back here every 6 months or so, this series from Jack is like snuggling up in blankets and watching the rain pour outside, and listening to the raindrops like an orchestra of coziness. It's like a grandma hug for your soul
Okay so I'm pausing 20mns in to say this. What if the characters aren't animals, it's just Mae's perception of people? I only recall indications, like Angus being good at growling and Mae's dad calling her kitten as a nickname. Don't get me wrong, I love anthropomorphic animals. It's just that Bea's comment about murder and hunting season, along with the squirrels and quadrepedal cat running around the neighborhood makes me wonder.
If you follow Gregg's entire sidestory, his problems becomes clear: it's Mae. He used to be a wild child like Mae in highschool, but then Angus came and "tamed" him. Made an adult responsible "man" out of a once rebellious and irresponsible "boy". And then Mae comes back home. And Gregg had a 'relapse' back to his old rebellious ways. And that caused them to fight because Mae is a friend to the both of them, since Angus believed Mae is a bad influence on Gregg and she should kept her distance from him. I'm really making it sound like Angus was a jerk, but he really wasn't. He wanted the best for Gregg, and unfortunately "the best" here means putting some distance between him and his once-bestie.
General Chowwalba Bea’s story is that she was a valedictorian at school that had a bright future for herself. Then her mom died in her final year of highschool causing her dad to mentally breakdown. This forced Bea to abandon all her dreams of going to college and manage the Pickaxe. Probably due to the financial burden of treating her mother and her death, Bea and her dad couldn’t keep their house and had to move out into an apartment. Bea’s daily life is basically wasting away at the Pickaxe managing the entire thing and at night, she comes home and has to manage her family’s budget and bills. While being effectively the manager of the store, she’s technically only a normal employee and she isn’t able to do some things without her dad’s permission which annoys her considering her dad doesn’t seem to do much of anything anymore. When she sleeps, in her room that she hadn’t even bothered unpacking despite having moved in 6 months ago, she hopes that she can dream of the college life she could’ve had if her mom never died. She’s known to even have gone to a college party 2 hours drive away and pretend to be a college student. This is why Bea initially resents Mae so much. Mae willingly gave up the one thing Bea always wanted and could never have. That and her naivete and childishness for someone her age clashes heavily with Bea’s own personality. Although if you go through her storyline, Bea and Mae end up really close with each other. Their initially clashing personalities end up meshing up really well as Bea is able to police and control Mae while Mae is able to get Bea to really lighten up and have fun occasionally. I’ll always prefer the Bea storyline over the Gregg storyline if for nothing but seeing the friendship that Mae and Bea are able to build over Mae and Gregg’s already existing friendship. I think some of my favourite moments near the end of the game, where Mae tells Bea or Gregg why she did what she did in the past and why she left college as well as Bea or Gregg yelling to the cult member that he or she was going to kill him for messing with Mae, works better with Bea over Gregg because with Bea, it really highlights how close the 2 have become with each other after barely knowing each other less than 2 weeks ago.
laughable chimp But Bea and Mae talk about being best friends when they were young kids while Mae is drunk and Bea gets mad because Mae forgot about Bea's mom dying. It also shows when Mae lays down drunk and Bea says "I stayed here and got older, while you went away and stayed the same." or something like that. So, no, they didn't barely know each other 2 weeks ago. They've known each other for years.
greggs palilalia stims and hyperactivity is such a mood (palilalia is when you uncontrollably repeat things, stimming is a physical action you repeat when elated or anxious) what an icon also when they were talking about _having to break something_ that could be considered an invasive thought (theyre different from intrusive thoughts because theyre largely nonviolent) in conclusion adhd + depression headcannon for gregg, mae prolly has aspd or bpd (antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder), beas just chill but angus has depression most likely, i fucking love the character line up here cos maes panromantic (well canon pansexual but she has Ace Energy) and angus is a literal BEAR (hehe funnie gay humour)!!!!!! and beas........there
I know I'm late but its because people are idiots who don't pay enough attention, she is kinda tomboyish sometimes, and Gregg called her dude a couple times I think.
I appreciate how Pastor K and Mae's mom are treated like real people and not stereotypes. Actually, that goes for Gregg and Angus, too. But I really especially appreciate how the church is handled in this game. It's not a caricature blown out of proportion on either end of the spectrum. That's pretty rare in media and particularly the internet these days.
Angus and Gregg are what Movie writers try to create miserably. This couple is so well written, they feel like real people who are in a real relationship. I’m Gay and I wish I had someone like Gregg. These two are the perfect couple and they’re so cute! Also for Jack. On the second day when you’re looking for Angus, if you ask Gregg first he’ll say, “I see him, E V E R Y N I G H T.” I don’t know if it was a dirty joke but that made me love these two even more.
Gregg: *I don't drink coffee, makes me anxious..* ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gregg: *--and it tastes gross.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~ That was the moment when Jack's heart shattered TwT
So... I've watched this play through so many times and I only just recently realised that on the chatrooms on Mae's computer the bottom one with the cat head with guns and a camo background is Casey's and the 'away message' was his last message to Mae...
_9v33n_ bells_ The away message is just the message that is shown when someone isn't online, it's not the last message sent. Remember the game Emily is Away? The messages shown on people's profiles when they're not logged in? Like that.
IF ANYONE'S CURIOUS, HERE IS WHAT MAE DID AND WHY SHE'S KNOWN AS 'KILLER': Mae gained notoriety among the townsfolk after being involved in a violent episode at her school's softball match. Six years prior to the events of Night in the Woods, Mae experienced a sudden form of dissociation from the real world - which seemed like an acute episode of derealization. She saw objects and people as just meaningless shapes, and not really existing. She felt a deep sadness for everything around her, lamenting that nothing was there for her anymore and that everything was just "stuff in the universe." The next day at the softball match, a second episode occurred, something "broke inside her" and before she knew it, she was beating Andy Cullen's head in with a bat in front of the entire school. Following that, most parents told their children to stay away from Mae. By the events of Night in the Woods, most of the kids in town know Mae through the attack, nicknaming her "Killer". The incident put a strain on Mae's relationship with her family. Financially, the Borowski's went deep into debt trying to treat her. Mae was sent to Dr. Hank for treatment, where he prescribed keeping a journal as a means of keeping her emotions in check. Mae claims it helps her feel grounded with reality and that it works somewhat. She seemed to be doing alright until she left for college. There, the effects of dissociation seemed to intensify and Mae never made a single friend at college because she was terrified of leaving her room. She was left starving or else downing entire pizzas in one go. She drank cough syrup just to sleep and forget about her living nightmare. Mae was especially terrified of the rusty statue of the founder outside her window: always a mess of shapes watching and pointing down at her. She felt too scared to phone anyone for help. After three semesters, Mae finally mustered up the courage to leave and return to the safety of home, where things weren't just "dead shapes."
man, i know it’s hard to realize things are going on with people with mental disorders (depression, anxiety, etc), but i wish someone just noticed mae wasn’t okay. just enough to be there for her. i dont understand the disorder but i get her situation, and she just needed someone in her college experience to ground her.
@@lanla587 My dad was angry at me for a while about me quitting college. My reason was that I was burned out on learning, and I was, but watching that part of the game, it made me realize that I was partially like Mae, too. I was terrified to leave my room. People didn't feel like people, and I felt like everyone hated me. I gained *25 POUNDS* from stress, anxiety, and loneliness. My roommate was my best friend from high school, but she had way more classes than me and was gone like all the time. The next semester she completely moved to a different room because she became an RA (residential aid) and RAs can't have roommates. After hearing all about Mae's reason for leaving, I nearly cried because I realized I did almost the exact same thing....
Theory: All the characters are actually human, but Mae chooses to/has convinced herself to perceive them as animals, because like Bea said, "it ain't murder if it's animals." That way she can feel less guilty and somehow justify what she's done in the past (hence why that one character called Mae "killer" and described her as dangerous, and hence the drunk outburst of "stabby stab stab"). But hey, that's JUST A THEORY! A GAME THEORY! PS: I haven't played this game or watched it other than Jack's playthrough, and on this video I'm only 20 minutes in, so if I get proven wrong later, sorry! EDIT: lol guys I know my channel isn't Game Theory, I was just using the reference :P I promise I haven't seen or heard any theories about this game; this is just from my silly brain-box.
it would also explain the "real animals" vs sentient characters, like the bird in the cage or the birds flying by outside, or the whole animals-having-pets-concept
holy CRAP even the Garbo and Malloy TV show is foreshadowing... or at least it seems like it, but regardless, so many oddly specific details seem to be hinting at the larger picture
Them: "It ain't murder if it's animals.." Me: B-B-B-B-B-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (that moment you realize you are the animals)
I didn't realize I related to Gregg so much as this episode. If I can be emotional for a moment, I want to spill my heart. Gregg mentioned that he has "really up up days and really down down days", which I can relate extremely to. As someone who has recently learned they have anxiety and depression, it helps to know there's a character like that. Also, as he is homosexual, it is nice to see someone like that. Gregg has a special place in my heart.
The reason why i love this game so much (ive been rewatching the series a couple of times) is cause we see all of these characters with such huge "flaws" in them, for example with Greggs's whole thing where he doubts himself and what his doing and all that, and I'm just really really happy that the developers decided to make these characters this way, and i feel like it's a message, saying that we all have flaws, we all have our ups and downs, no matter how happy we may seem on the outside, we all have some form of inner turmoil. Anyways yeah there's my rant thanks for reading and I really hope that you yourself manage to find some comfort in yourself, make sure to find yourself someone who you can just like, stay up until 2am just talking about your lives and everything, I have some friends that do that for me and it's a really good experience to have
Man, I hate my flaws. Can't seem to get rid of them or really fix it either. I think I'm also developing anger issues as well because anger is my default emotional home.
Flaws don't need to be removed from your life! Some of your flaws don't need to be changed, I mean I don't know much about you but from experience I always thought of myself as very flawed. When I was younger, when I discovered I was gay, I thought I didn't belong on this earth, and i mean sometimes I still feel like that but now I've accepted that it's just a part of who I am and that I shouldn't force myself to appeal to other people. Same goes for body image, and my social life. Now I'm in a much better place, admittedly I still have room for improvement, but what I'm trying to say is, not every "problem" in your life needs to be fixed. However, yes anger issues probably isn't the greatest? Under the assumption that you're still in school, try going to see a counsellor, or maybe organise a visit to a nearby therapist with your family. And yep that's about all the advice I've got, sincerely, your friendly neighbourhood gay
I recently realised i have high functioning deppresion, iv always have had it but its nice having a name cause i know im not crazy. Plus being aware of the problom is half the battle. Just keep taking one step at a time and embrace your flaws, they have shaped you into who you are.
man. jack saying that 2017 was like one of the worst years of his life, and talking about how dark his thoughts got hit different watching these videos made then, especially when there's characters talking about going through tough stuff. i'm sure he found gregg even more relatable by the end of this episode.
"imagine a tiny version of your favorite character riding around on your shoulder & commenting throughout the day" i agree w this on a spiritual level i s2g
I love where this game is going in terms of story. It's addressing so many issues in life and doing so in an amazing way with characters you can really get attached to and almost know them. This has some great music for sure! And Gregg is certainly my favorite characters. He's very funny, and when he calms down for some serious moments like toward the end there, ya love him just the same. Beneath the funny, energetic exterior, he's got some serious thoughts brewing that just shows who he is really. But he and Angus are just too sweet for each other, I hope they stay together to the end cause it sounds like they need the other as their rock.
Not gonna lie I started screaming at my screen and my mom walked into my room realized wat I was saying and walked back out (she's was never a band kid) 😂😂😂
When i watched jack play this, over and over again. I can't help but get the feeling that i was watching some story telling video, and sometimes fell asleep on my desk....... jack could be a really good story teller
I love that God is referred to as They!!! Given that God is an entity, I should think they'd be genderless anyway. The male thing was likely imposed on Them by the people who wrote the Bible, as it was made in a time when men were considered superior anyway.
Well, Jesus talked about his Father, which sets a clear example to follow. However, God himself is above gender, or rather, both genders represent God. In the Bible, He is described using both male and female imagery: protectiveness of a father, nursing and comforting of a mother, for example. I wonder if the plural "they" would refer to the Trinity? One of the names of God in the Bible is Elohim - plural form. I don't know anyone who would refer to God as "they", but there's three persons in one God, so technically, it could be possible.
I think somewhere it does state God has no gender, they just call them a "He" probably because he's generally seen as a father type figure (called the "father" in the trinity)
"Dude, I was thinking about a non-gender specific god and then I knew that Jesus was his son meaning that a woman god could've got f*cked by a mortal to have Jesus." - Internet Athiest (Me)
everytime I watch this series, the part at 1:00:00 always makes me smile. I mean, the rest of the series is great as well, and of course I have favorite parts relating to the game itself, but that one little clarification he gives on Angus and Gregg's relationship, and how he doesn't make it a big deal, is so great. I wish more people could be like that heh
I can definitely relate to this. Last year, I was having panic attacks all the time and I was in a really bad depression. I refused to tell anyone what was going on until it was almost too late. Last April, in the midst of a bad panic attack, I tried to take my own life. Ironically enough, I had one of your videos on in the background and hearing you scream at a jumpscare snapped me out of the attack. So I actually owe you some thanks, Jack. You kinda helped save my life that night. Since then, I've been more open with people about how I'm actually feeling, and my life has been so much better. My grades are back up to As and Bs, my music performances are stronger than ever, I've added on a criminal justice minor to my music major, and I've joined the Resistance against He-Whose-Name-I-Refuse-To-Mention. I have a steady job, a massive network of support, and at the end of the day, I have the videos of my favorite gamers to look forward to. So thank you Jack. You are part of the reason that I am still here.
So glad to hear this! I'm so glad to hear stories like this. I genuinely wish you the best. Also, you've seeked help with the panic attacks, right? Don't worry about doing it if you haven't (I mean you should do it, just not stress about it , but, it will probably be good to know more about yourself by speaking to a professional. Only _you_ know _you_ but sometimes you need a bit help from someone that deals with specific things like this on a daily basis, more or less!) Uh long story short, I mean, panic attacks is not your fault really, but can be "cured" - although it seems you've gone a long way managing yourself :) However.. I regret quitting counselling, I had depressions/fatigue, I got doctors' notes and stuff, and it helped talking, but I also have some abandonment issues and my counselor quit her job, so I stopped going. I left it at that, which I regret. I can still be happy and laugh no problem, but it really affects life. I strongly suggest anyone to read up on all the personality disorders, I did to find out more about myself. You'd be amazed how many people must be having issues with something. When I read about "Borderline Personality Disorder" so much fit me. It sucks. But realizing I might need help, I'll start over with counselling, just to find out if it's really true or if I have anything else (cause I really don't know). I manage fine, but those around me suffer for it (or so I imagine). Anyways, have a nice day!
I'm proud of you guys. Just remember, we're here for you. And if you ever think about.. taking your life [again or otherwise], remember that no matter what, *someone* will be sad you're gone. *Someone* will *always* miss you. And that, someone will *always* love *you*.
Jack- 'Remember the really old fans with the metal fins on them? Whoever thought that was a good idea?!' Me- *looks directly over at the metal fan at the other side of her bed*
F*ck That's Delicious i agree so much. Like with his Fran bow or Undertake series, even if I watched other people play them, I took a liking to his voice for the characters.
Cloudrocker M I agree. I've been looking for the song at the beginning of this video and I have yet to find it. I've found the Bandcamp page. But not the song. Maybe I've over exaggerating
I just noticed that Mae's left ear, the one that keeps twitching, is a little chewed up. I'm super interested about her backstory! She obviously had an incident with her anger issues and might have even hurt someone. But people aren't afraid of her or mean to her so I'm super curious!!
Cpn. Beartato It really does. I was a surprised at the turn it took lol. Didn't see it coming. I live that this game covers some deep issues while remaining whimsical and weird.
Super Jan OOH THANK YOUU YOU MADE MY WAITING EVEN WORSE! I LOVE THIS GAME SOO MUCH AMD CANT WAIT FOR JACK TO PLAY IT AND NOW IM JUST POPPIN' OUT ME BOXIES HERE!
Jack, some tips! In the dreams, when there's a glowing to the edge of your screen, it's guiding you to the next person in their... box thing? also, you can climb the powerlines near the church, by jumping on the lightpost next to the stairs! there's a lot more town to discover up on the buildings edit: also, you can explore the buildings where the Snack Falcon is, but there's boxes on the SF's roof that prevents you from getting up (they get removed after a few in game days)
Foofs I but cats dont get their period '-' it's still funny but she's a cat . A 20 year old cat . Her parents should be dead and even if she gets her period she should've hit metapause. Still funny joke though
I love how light hearted and somewhat cryptic this game is. It's funny and a little painful how relatable it can be. Anyone who's had those moments of self doubt and/or hate will especially have a few cords touched with this game. Love you all ❤ Take care of yourself and each other!
If you hang out with bea when you have the option of ‘nah, I got stuff to do’ or ‘whatever your doing’ if you hang with bea, you go to fort lucin (probably spelled that wrong) and you shoplift, make bea shoplift, squirt people with a fish fountain until you make bea piss herself from laughing, call bea out over the announcements, and return the stuff you stole. Gloom chose that route if your interested in it.

The animal question keeps coming up, so here are my thoughts. The animals who can talk are actually all humans, but they're depicted as animals based on their personalities maybe? Mae is a cat so she's stubborn, curious, and some times a lil bean! Gregg is a fox/dog so he's hyper, loud, joyful, and playful. Bea is a alligator/reptile so she's more "eHuuuUHg", likes to be alone, a lil bit distant, and so forth. Angus is a bear because he's chill, slower, big, and protective(??). And I'd say others are birds because they like to move all over and socialize, hence the one old bird dude that seems to be the head of the town committee. And so forth with the other animals that can talk.
Heh, just a theory :P
(edit: wow I didn't realize that I'd get this much support! Haha, thank you!)
Vickervoo That's a really good theory
That actually
Makes a lot of sense
I am dissapointed you didn't say AM GAME THEORY
DISLIKED!
Actually that's a great theory and I applaud 👏👏👏
Haha! Thanks!
What about Mae's parents then? They're cats too and yet have different personalities.
That chat with Gregg almost made me cry. I love this game. When Gregg said "I'm a good person, right?" I just felt a pain in my heart. Man.
Connie McFalcon I actually did cry. Gregg must be protected at all costs!
Ohai
Idk why I have to say this but Connie McSnackFalcon
Me too,cause I related so much,I think I have bipolar and I’m just........I’m like that a lot and I’m not sometimes
Yes much
now that I'm rewatching this again years later, I like the vague mentions of "cults" and "murder" and the electric noises happening underground throughout the series. Very good foreshadowing.
Jack, just because I missed it too, the chat icon with the cat and guns is supposed to be Casey's. He's the guy that used to play drums in the band instead of Bea, and now he's missing. This is all said at the beginning in the diner, but it's really easy to miss for some people.
Isaac Anon upvoting this just so Sean can see
Asú kmmkkjo
maybe he was the hand!
so he and Mae were friends?
Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire yea it said he was walking down the train tracks and nobody has seen him what if he got hit by a train and his hand went flying
Jack, I literally have a dream symbol book, and here are my discoveries upon my research:
Bear = "Can represent a person who is a little stupid but good-natured. The symbol often indicates disappointment or that one is about to disappoint someone..." Maybe Mae feels that she's disappointing her parents? No job, quit school, it takes a toll.
Squirrel = "Fast, shy, smart animal that symbolizes ideas, plans, and hope. Longing to be in nature..." Maybe this references why she came back to her hometown?
I didn't find anything about a Tuba, Saxophone, or an Accordion, but I did find something about a Violin!
Violin = It says it can be an "echo of the soul," and represents "domestic happiness." She likes being at home?
Lantern = "Symbol of the light of awareness; it usually points to the need for taking a closer look at your problems..." This could point to her anger issues.
Fire = "Either it is destroying something or it is giving a signal..." The lanterns are leading her to the instruments, therefore, leading her to happiness?

Oh god, the memories
For some reason my eyes welled up with tears a bit when Mae and Gregg were talking in the woods.
Solace did it remind you when u and your friend used to go to the woods and have fun until he went missing for a month only to find his body.. filling u up with sadness.
I was the 100th like lmao
might have been the music
because gregg is such a cheerful character, hearing him saying those things and questioning if he is good was quite hurtful to hear. i cried slightly too, i love gregg.
Same
He's so sweet 🥺
I resonate with Mae on a personal level...
She's still the same when everyone and thing around her has changed. It actually makes me cry a bit as I have depressive nostalgia over years ago when I had friends who I could just hang out with at the drop of a hat now I am lucky if I can even text my boyfriend at work because he's busy
Same
Same. Whenever things get really lonely I remember when I was happy and scold myself thinking about why things had to change
I always think about how good life used to be when I was kid. Life wasn't always perfect, but who's life is actually perfect at any stage of existence? And it was sure as hell more of a better time to live in than living the life of an adult who feels that they barely have any hope for the future due to various negative events.
You ever feel like you’re the person who’s moved on, and feel really guilty sometimes because you feel like you left all your friends behind to move on?

When Mae said she hated beer, I was sitting here drinking a beer. And when Gregg said he hated coffee I was drinking my third cup... I found that really amusing for some reason
I read your comment and then your name....random IS awesome!
Energy drinks taste better, and cocktails too but that's just my opinion
cole bates Too much sugar, dude. They do not taste better, you just don't like bitter flavor, which is normal nowadays with industries putting sugar into literally EVERYTHING.
I still dont know why people like beer and coffe its disgusting
Moni 1439 Because it is not disgusting, we just like bitter flavors, unlike people like you, who are too used to industries putting sugar at literally EVERYTHING. It's pretty effing sad that bitter flavors are disapearing because now the majority of humans are whiny little kids that need everything to be sweet, otherwise they'll complain, such a simple taste, really...
The real question here is: How can anyone dislike beer or coffee? There are so many different types with so many kinds of flavor... It's impossible that there is NONE that you don't like.
I fell like this game really did the gay relationship thing right. Greg and Angus are treated just like a normal couple would be, and it doesn't shove the fact that their gay down your throat. It is nice when games do that~
(Edit: the original content of this comment has not been and will not be altered, but I would like to clarify that I was 14 when I made this, had no idea I was nb and bi, and while I still love this game and Angus/Greggs relationship, the phrasing "not shoving it down your throat" came from an uneducated perspective. I was repeating things homophobic people had said to me in order to feel better about not hating a gay relationship. The only reason this comment is still up is to give context to the many replies/as a personal reminder of where I started).
Mystic Howl I totally agree~
Mystic Howl It took me until halfway through the second episode to realize that Angus was a dude and I was like wait what and then it dawned on me😂😂
As a gay person I agree.
Mystic Howl then stop focusing on it if it's not a big part of the story
he was just making a statement
I like that Pastor K isn’t a jerk or explicitly made out to be a bad guy because she’s a Christian. They just write her like a human being with Christian beliefs
Somewhere in the Bible it says women shouldn’t be pastors. But I’d rather have Pastor K representing us than a jerk male pastor
Pastor K is what Christians are SUPPOSED to be. Kind, patient, not judgemental. The opposite of what lots of people seem to think Christians are. I really like her.
I’m an atheist, so the way they made her character out is especially enjoyable to me, because it’s just like you said. She’s not shoving her beliefs down our throats, and she is very kind and passionate about what she does
@@FashionMajor2012 as a christian, you just explained me. Even though I swear sometimes.

Okay so I'm pausing 20mns in to say this.
What if the characters aren't animals, it's just Mae's perception of people? I only recall indications, like Angus being good at growling and Mae's dad calling her kitten as a nickname. Don't get me wrong, I love anthropomorphic animals. It's just that Bea's comment about murder and hunting season, along with the squirrels and quadrepedal cat running around the neighborhood makes me wonder.

Apparently the soundtrack was inspired by a band called DIIV
Also, I know I'm late but you can download it on Spotify too.
All too true. I can't even recall the ammount of times I've listened to it.
I thought it was obvious Gregg was gay
Yeah ikr, I mean he's dating Angus, a guy
Dancing Turtle gregg is a guy
Dancing Turtle Gregg is consistently referred to as he
People are pretty ignorant when it comes to homosexual couples, they'll deny that they're a couple unless its said right to their faces
so wait..you mean to tell me that was a cigarette. I thought I was a backwards lollipop
If you follow Gregg's entire sidestory, his problems becomes clear: it's Mae.
He used to be a wild child like Mae in highschool, but then Angus came and "tamed" him. Made an adult responsible "man" out of a once rebellious and irresponsible "boy". And then Mae comes back home. And Gregg had a 'relapse' back to his old rebellious ways. And that caused them to fight because Mae is a friend to the both of them, since Angus believed Mae is a bad influence on Gregg and she should kept her distance from him.
I'm really making it sound like Angus was a jerk, but he really wasn't. He wanted the best for Gregg, and unfortunately "the best" here means putting some distance between him and his once-bestie.
Ricky Namara heck, Mae is a shit friend to Bea as well.
What about Bea?
General Chowwalba Bea’s story is that she was a valedictorian at school that had a bright future for herself. Then her mom died in her final year of highschool causing her dad to mentally breakdown.
This forced Bea to abandon all her dreams of going to college and manage the Pickaxe. Probably due to the financial burden of treating her mother and her death, Bea and her dad couldn’t keep their house and had to move out into an apartment.
Bea’s daily life is basically wasting away at the Pickaxe managing the entire thing and at night, she comes home and has to manage her family’s budget and bills. While being effectively the manager of the store, she’s technically only a normal employee and she isn’t able to do some things without her dad’s permission which annoys her considering her dad doesn’t seem to do much of anything anymore.
When she sleeps, in her room that she hadn’t even bothered unpacking despite having moved in 6 months ago, she hopes that she can dream of the college life she could’ve had if her mom never died. She’s known to even have gone to a college party 2 hours drive away and pretend to be a college student.
This is why Bea initially resents Mae so much. Mae willingly gave up the one thing Bea always wanted and could never have. That and her naivete and childishness for someone her age clashes heavily with Bea’s own personality.
Although if you go through her storyline, Bea and Mae end up really close with each other. Their initially clashing personalities end up meshing up really well as Bea is able to police and control Mae while Mae is able to get Bea to really lighten up and have fun occasionally.
I’ll always prefer the Bea storyline over the Gregg storyline if for nothing but seeing the friendship that Mae and Bea are able to build over Mae and Gregg’s already existing friendship. I think some of my favourite moments near the end of the game, where Mae tells Bea or Gregg why she did what she did in the past and why she left college as well as Bea or Gregg yelling to the cult member that he or she was going to kill him for messing with Mae, works better with Bea over Gregg because with Bea, it really highlights how close the 2 have become with each other after barely knowing each other less than 2 weeks ago.
laughable chimp ohh ok thanks
laughable chimp But Bea and Mae talk about being best friends when they were young kids while Mae is drunk and Bea gets mad because Mae forgot about Bea's mom dying. It also shows when Mae lays down drunk and Bea says "I stayed here and got older, while you went away and stayed the same." or something like that. So, no, they didn't barely know each other 2 weeks ago. They've known each other for years.
greggs palilalia stims and hyperactivity is such a mood (palilalia is when you uncontrollably repeat things, stimming is a physical action you repeat when elated or anxious) what an icon
also when they were talking about _having to break something_ that could be considered an invasive thought (theyre different from intrusive thoughts because theyre largely nonviolent)
in conclusion adhd + depression headcannon for gregg, mae prolly has aspd or bpd (antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder), beas just chill but angus has depression most likely, i fucking love the character line up here cos maes panromantic (well canon pansexual but she has Ace Energy) and angus is a literal BEAR (hehe funnie gay humour)!!!!!! and beas........there
Damn thata cool

I know I'm late but its because people are idiots who don't pay enough attention, she is kinda tomboyish sometimes, and Gregg called her dude a couple times I think.

I love how the platforming elements are worked into the story as Mae being a ridiculous daredevil.
I appreciate how Pastor K and Mae's mom are treated like real people and not stereotypes. Actually, that goes for Gregg and Angus, too. But I really especially appreciate how the church is handled in this game. It's not a caricature blown out of proportion on either end of the spectrum. That's pretty rare in media and particularly the internet these days.
Angus and Gregg are what Movie writers try to create miserably.
This couple is so well written, they feel like real people who are in a real relationship. I’m Gay and I wish I had someone like Gregg. These two are the perfect couple and they’re so cute!
Also for Jack. On the second day when you’re looking for Angus, if you ask Gregg first he’ll say,
“I see him, E V E R Y N I G H T.”
I don’t know if it was a dirty joke but that made me love these two even more.

So... I've watched this play through so many times and I only just recently realised that on the chatrooms on Mae's computer the bottom one with the cat head with guns and a camo background is Casey's and the 'away message' was his last message to Mae...
_9v33n_ bells_ The away message is just the message that is shown when someone isn't online, it's not the last message sent. Remember the game Emily is Away? The messages shown on people's profiles when they're not logged in? Like that.
Liya A. Oooh that's cool. And im dumb XD, thanks for letting me know!

_9v33n_ bells_ I I've seriously been looking to see if someone mentions Casey thank you
Liya A. We don't know that
IF ANYONE'S CURIOUS, HERE IS WHAT MAE DID AND WHY SHE'S KNOWN AS 'KILLER':
Mae gained notoriety among the townsfolk after being involved in a violent episode at her school's softball match. Six years prior to the events of Night in the Woods, Mae experienced a sudden form of dissociation from the real world - which seemed like an acute episode of derealization. She saw objects and people as just meaningless shapes, and not really existing. She felt a deep sadness for everything around her, lamenting that nothing was there for her anymore and that everything was just "stuff in the universe."
The next day at the softball match, a second episode occurred, something "broke inside her" and before she knew it, she was beating Andy Cullen's head in with a bat in front of the entire school.
Following that, most parents told their children to stay away from Mae. By the events of Night in the Woods, most of the kids in town know Mae through the attack, nicknaming her "Killer". The incident put a strain on Mae's relationship with her family. Financially, the Borowski's went deep into debt trying to treat her.
Mae was sent to Dr. Hank for treatment, where he prescribed keeping a journal as a means of keeping her emotions in check. Mae claims it helps her feel grounded with reality and that it works somewhat. She seemed to be doing alright until she left for college.
There, the effects of dissociation seemed to intensify and Mae never made a single friend at college because she was terrified of leaving her room. She was left starving or else downing entire pizzas in one go. She drank cough syrup just to sleep and forget about her living nightmare. Mae was especially terrified of the rusty statue of the founder outside her window: always a mess of shapes watching and pointing down at her. She felt too scared to phone anyone for help.
After three semesters, Mae finally mustered up the courage to leave and return to the safety of home, where things weren't just "dead shapes."
Whoa
man, i know it’s hard to realize things are going on with people with mental disorders (depression, anxiety, etc), but i wish someone just noticed mae wasn’t okay. just enough to be there for her. i dont understand the disorder but i get her situation, and she just needed someone in her college experience to ground her.
@@lanla587 My dad was angry at me for a while about me quitting college. My reason was that I was burned out on learning, and I was, but watching that part of the game, it made me realize that I was partially like Mae, too. I was terrified to leave my room. People didn't feel like people, and I felt like everyone hated me. I gained *25 POUNDS* from stress, anxiety, and loneliness. My roommate was my best friend from high school, but she had way more classes than me and was gone like all the time. The next semester she completely moved to a different room because she became an RA (residential aid) and RAs can't have roommates. After hearing all about Mae's reason for leaving, I nearly cried because I realized I did almost the exact same thing....
First your like 2 years late second I think
We know
That already
@@Fentnihilator A lot of people don't! And I don't think 'being late' is bad, I just like to rewatch series that I enjoy :)
Theory: All the characters are actually human, but Mae chooses to/has convinced herself to perceive them as animals, because like Bea said, "it ain't murder if it's animals." That way she can feel less guilty and somehow justify what she's done in the past (hence why that one character called Mae "killer" and described her as dangerous, and hence the drunk outburst of "stabby stab stab"). But hey, that's JUST A THEORY! A GAME THEORY!
PS: I haven't played this game or watched it other than Jack's playthrough, and on this video I'm only 20 minutes in, so if I get proven wrong later, sorry!
EDIT: lol guys I know my channel isn't Game Theory, I was just using the reference :P I promise I haven't seen or heard any theories about this game; this is just from my silly brain-box.
it would also explain the "real animals" vs sentient characters, like the bird in the cage or the birds flying by outside, or the whole animals-having-pets-concept
holy CRAP even the Garbo and Malloy TV show is foreshadowing... or at least it seems like it, but regardless, so many oddly specific details seem to be hinting at the larger picture
quinintheclouds wow! That's actually really good.
quinintheclouds That's a really good theory! :)
#Matpat.....right?
"It ain't murder if it's animals.." "UM... AREN'T YOU *ALL* ANIMALS?" That slapped me on the knee.

I didn't realize I related to Gregg so much as this episode. If I can be emotional for a moment, I want to spill my heart.
Gregg mentioned that he has "really up up days and really down down days", which I can relate extremely to. As someone who has recently learned they have anxiety and depression, it helps to know there's a character like that. Also, as he is homosexual, it is nice to see someone like that. Gregg has a special place in my heart.
minimeroxz I'm pretty much Gregg down to the letter. Just as excitable, bipolar, just as gay.
The reason why i love this game so much (ive been rewatching the series a couple of times) is cause we see all of these characters with such huge "flaws" in them, for example with Greggs's whole thing where he doubts himself and what his doing and all that, and I'm just really really happy that the developers decided to make these characters this way, and i feel like it's a message, saying that we all have flaws, we all have our ups and downs, no matter how happy we may seem on the outside, we all have some form of inner turmoil. Anyways yeah there's my rant thanks for reading and I really hope that you yourself manage to find some comfort in yourself, make sure to find yourself someone who you can just like, stay up until 2am just talking about your lives and everything, I have some friends that do that for me and it's a really good experience to have
Man, I hate my flaws. Can't seem to get rid of them or really fix it either. I think I'm also developing anger issues as well because anger is my default emotional home.
Flaws don't need to be removed from your life! Some of your flaws don't need to be changed, I mean I don't know much about you but from experience I always thought of myself as very flawed. When I was younger, when I discovered I was gay, I thought I didn't belong on this earth, and i mean sometimes I still feel like that but now I've accepted that it's just a part of who I am and that I shouldn't force myself to appeal to other people. Same goes for body image, and my social life. Now I'm in a much better place, admittedly I still have room for improvement, but what I'm trying to say is, not every "problem" in your life needs to be fixed. However, yes anger issues probably isn't the greatest? Under the assumption that you're still in school, try going to see a counsellor, or maybe organise a visit to a nearby therapist with your family. And yep that's about all the advice I've got, sincerely, your friendly neighbourhood gay
I recently realised i have high functioning deppresion, iv always have had it but its nice having a name cause i know im not crazy. Plus being aware of the problom is half the battle. Just keep taking one step at a time and embrace your flaws, they have shaped you into who you are.
man. jack saying that 2017 was like one of the worst years of his life, and talking about how dark his thoughts got hit different watching these videos made then, especially when there's characters talking about going through tough stuff. i'm sure he found gregg even more relatable by the end of this episode.
"We all need a Gregg."
Most relatable thing in the world, there.

I love where this game is going in terms of story. It's addressing so many issues in life and doing so in an amazing way with characters you can really get attached to and almost know them. This has some great music for sure! And Gregg is certainly my favorite characters. He's very funny, and when he calms down for some serious moments like toward the end there, ya love him just the same. Beneath the funny, energetic exterior, he's got some serious thoughts brewing that just shows who he is really. But he and Angus are just too sweet for each other, I hope they stay together to the end cause it sounds like they need the other as their rock.
I can relate to Mae so much

When i watched jack play this, over and over again. I can't help but get the feeling that i was watching some story telling video, and sometimes fell asleep on my desk....... jack could be a really good story teller
I love that God is referred to as They!!! Given that God is an entity, I should think they'd be genderless anyway. The male thing was likely imposed on Them by the people who wrote the Bible, as it was made in a time when men were considered superior anyway.
Well, Jesus talked about his Father, which sets a clear example to follow. However, God himself is above gender, or rather, both genders represent God. In the Bible, He is described using both male and female imagery: protectiveness of a father, nursing and comforting of a mother, for example.
I wonder if the plural "they" would refer to the Trinity? One of the names of God in the Bible is Elohim - plural form. I don't know anyone who would refer to God as "they", but there's three persons in one God, so technically, it could be possible.
Your friendly neighbourhood nobody I’m not a Christian or anything but i totally agree, thinking of god as a man is sexist
I think somewhere it does state God has no gender, they just call them a "He" probably because he's generally seen as a father type figure (called the "father" in the trinity)
"Dude, I was thinking about a non-gender specific god and then I knew that Jesus was his son meaning that a woman god could've got f*cked by a mortal to have Jesus."

CONFIRMED, GOD IS NON BINARY
Its nice to see some diversity in this game.

Wait, why are you here?

everytime I watch this series, the part at 1:00:00 always makes me smile. I mean, the rest of the series is great as well, and of course I have favorite parts relating to the game itself, but that one little clarification he gives on Angus and Gregg's relationship, and how he doesn't make it a big deal, is so great. I wish more people could be like that heh
I can definitely relate to this. Last year, I was having panic attacks all the time and I was in a really bad depression. I refused to tell anyone what was going on until it was almost too late. Last April, in the midst of a bad panic attack, I tried to take my own life. Ironically enough, I had one of your videos on in the background and hearing you scream at a jumpscare snapped me out of the attack. So I actually owe you some thanks, Jack. You kinda helped save my life that night. Since then, I've been more open with people about how I'm actually feeling, and my life has been so much better. My grades are back up to As and Bs, my music performances are stronger than ever, I've added on a criminal justice minor to my music major, and I've joined the Resistance against He-Whose-Name-I-Refuse-To-Mention. I have a steady job, a massive network of support, and at the end of the day, I have the videos of my favorite gamers to look forward to. So thank you Jack. You are part of the reason that I am still here.
Jessica Harper up this was really inspirational...
So glad to hear this! I'm so glad to hear stories like this. I genuinely wish you the best.
Also, you've seeked help with the panic attacks, right? Don't worry about doing it if you haven't (I mean you should do it, just not stress about it , but, it will probably be good to know more about yourself by speaking to a professional. Only _you_ know _you_ but sometimes you need a bit help from someone that deals with specific things like this on a daily basis, more or less!)
Uh long story short, I mean, panic attacks is not your fault really, but can be "cured" - although it seems you've gone a long way managing yourself :)
However.. I regret quitting counselling, I had depressions/fatigue, I got doctors' notes and stuff, and it helped talking, but I also have some abandonment issues and my counselor quit her job, so I stopped going. I left it at that, which I regret. I can still be happy and laugh no problem, but it really affects life. I strongly suggest anyone to read up on all the personality disorders, I did to find out more about myself. You'd be amazed how many people must be having issues with something.
When I read about "Borderline Personality Disorder" so much fit me. It sucks. But realizing I might need help, I'll start over with counselling, just to find out if it's really true or if I have anything else (cause I really don't know).
I manage fine, but those around me suffer for it (or so I imagine).
Anyways, have a nice day!
Jessica Harper aw im so freaking happy and amazingly proud for you
I'm proud of you guys. Just remember, we're here for you. And if you ever think about.. taking your life [again or otherwise], remember that no matter what, *someone* will be sad you're gone. *Someone* will *always* miss you. And that, someone will *always* love *you*.

When Seans' voice for characters is PERFECT and you can't bear to hear them any other way...
I cannot unhear the voices he's done for them, they're just too good!! omg if he ever did an audio book thing that would be amazing
Veloxity Fire I would definitely buy an audio book read by Sean!

I WANT THIS SOUNDTRACK NOW
Cloudrocker M RIGHT?!
Cloudrocker M I agree. I've been looking for the song at the beginning of this video and I have yet to find it. I've found the Bandcamp page. But not the song. Maybe I've over exaggerating
I just noticed that Mae's left ear, the one that keeps twitching, is a little chewed up. I'm super interested about her backstory! She obviously had an incident with her anger issues and might have even hurt someone. But people aren't afraid of her or mean to her so I'm super curious!!
The ear thing was caused by a dog, according to some game dialogue
“That’s just small town polite”
Everyone's just pretending not to despise her.

And this kids is how cuphead started
Lol
I finished this game last week. I'm so glad to see people playing it. It really is a great, little game. Prepare yourself, Sean. The ending is insane.
Super Jan after Halloween dude it gets real
Super Jan DUDE HELL YEAH
Cpn. Beartato It really does. I was a surprised at the turn it took lol. Didn't see it coming. I live that this game covers some deep issues while remaining whimsical and weird.
Super Jan OOH THANK YOUU YOU MADE MY WAITING EVEN WORSE! I LOVE THIS GAME SOO MUCH AMD CANT WAIT FOR JACK TO PLAY IT AND NOW IM JUST POPPIN' OUT ME BOXIES HERE!
Super Jan i cant wait now..
Jack, some tips! In the dreams, when there's a glowing to the edge of your screen, it's guiding you to the next person in their... box thing?
also, you can climb the powerlines near the church, by jumping on the lightpost next to the stairs! there's a lot more town to discover up on the buildings
edit: also, you can explore the buildings where the Snack Falcon is, but there's boxes on the SF's roof that prevents you from getting up (they get removed after a few in game days)
Dekkasaurus NO! NO SPOILEEEEERS!!!!!
*+syra barrett* *Dekkasaurus* is not spoiling anything. They're just helping.
jack should be the voice actor of this game
Mae's childish personality even though she's almost an adult reminds me of me😂😂😂
Same
the story is getting so interesting and awesome. Am waiting for the next part. I LIKE jackaboy
blackjack JJJJACKABOIIIIIII!!!
The "bleeding in your seat" is probably a period joke. Mae probably made that joke because she's a girl
Im glad maturity hasnt hit for me yet
Foofs no shit
Asriel the Dreemurr same
Actually, one of the graveyard stories you can tell the three weirdos involves Mae doing just that...
Foofs I but cats dont get their period '-' it's still funny but she's a cat . A 20 year old cat . Her parents should be dead and even if she gets her period she should've hit metapause. Still funny joke though
Greg: I don't like coffee
Mae: I don't like beer
Me and jack: boi

I have to wait till I'm 18 to legally drink beer but when I do I hope I like it so I don't disappoint all the beer lovers
UnderDog Elephant Where do you live? I thought you had to be 20-25 to drink beer.

I love how light hearted and somewhat cryptic this game is. It's funny and a little painful how relatable it can be. Anyone who's had those moments of self doubt and/or hate will especially have a few cords touched with this game. Love you all ❤ Take care of yourself and each other!
6:12 Well of course its cozy for you, you literally grew up in Ireland, where it's never sunny and always raining.
in my city in england it always rained... now im in poland

If you hang out with bea when you have the option of ‘nah, I got stuff to do’ or ‘whatever your doing’ if you hang with bea, you go to fort lucin (probably spelled that wrong) and you shoplift, make bea shoplift, squirt people with a fish fountain until you make bea piss herself from laughing, call bea out over the announcements, and return the stuff you stole. Gloom chose that route if your interested in it.
