I just want to leave it here. So, what i want to say, is that i needed this game more than anything else in my life. And i didn't even know. I saw screenshots, i saw gameplay. But when I lanched the game myself, I understood that i'm in love with it. I was reading every dialogue, I didn't wake up Mae and let her sleep for a minute or two, just listening to music. Possum Springs is just a place u want to comeback to. I have all achievements now, and i'm just visiting Mae sometimes, walking through the town. I'm remembering emotions I had during the game while music plays. With it, I can somehow feel them again, like in the first time. I was happy to see smile on Mae's face, I was worried for her in the end like hell, and I was so glad that in the end it all was good for her and her friends. It's amazing. It's really amazing game. Small world that people created, and that I believe now lives by itself. One of my friend let me play the game on his account, and I bought it just to thank the devs. And, that's it. Gregg rulz ok
Weird to see people still commenting on this(and other NITW videos that are 5-6 years old), but I haven't left my mark when I finished the game 5 years ago, so I'll do that now. NITW really helped me in a... Quite dark moment of my life. I've struggled with quite a mixture of things, including being expelled from my university and having a relatable character like Mae helped me a lot with getting through decent bit of mental and physical problems back in the day. Life still isn't great, don't get me wrong, but... Well, at the end of everything, hold onto anything.
Youve got this brother. The answer is never suicide, as cheesy as it sounds. I tried to kill myself a few days ago and eventhough I am in mental hell, I can see its better to have the chance to escape than none at all.
This was a game that helped me when i dropped out of college. I felt like a failure because it was hammered in my head that college was the only way to get anywhere but it wasn't for me. So when I watched Jacksepticeye play this and I watched Mae I felt seen and heard with their character. This game means a lot to me and I will never forget Alec. He was so talented and amazing and I hope he is resting peacefully and enjoying his spot in paradise
@Ostrava_Of_Boletariamodern world doesn't let you get better, sadly. You screw up once, that's it, that's you. Especially with people like Zoe. Nobody deserved allegations like those Alec had
Alec actually inspires me to keep holding on, even at the end of everything. He was betrayed by his friends and family for a vindictive liar, lost his career and will to live, and we were too far from his personal life to help. Seeing all these supporters lets me know that there is reward in the joy you give to others, and that it is imperative to keep holding on, as there is still a chance you can make things better for someone else, if not yourself. Just imagine what Alec could have done for everyone if he kept holding on. While his potential is lost, our potential is truly expansive. To anyone reading this: *At the end of everything, hold on to anything.* You'd be surprised how much good you can still do out there.
Cyber Byte I relate with you so much. For me, Alec like anyone else was human with flaws but that’s okay. He was truly wonderful and inspirational, nonetheless. I just learned of his passing last week (been out of the loop with social media) and was shocked. But I figured we could carry his legacy too of being something someone can hold onto when they feel it’s the end. Only wish Alec had that.
I wanna say that Night In The Woods is one of the best games ever. From its amazing art style, to its amazing characters. This game has helped me throughout quarantine. I have played through it so many times, and I still love it. And, to be honest, I love narrating out loud. Reading the dialogue in different voices. It’s fun. And I hope anyone who comes here for some nostalgia, or just cause it’s a damn good song, I hope y’all have a wonderful day. Big. Snake
logandh2 chill dude. the original comment was perfectly friendly and you're being very rude. I'd take a polite comment with horrendous grammar over a horrendously rude comment with good grammar any day of my life.
My gf purchased me this game on my birthday this year and that was my first time ever to know about the game. Had it since then but never to be touched but I had completed the story a few days back (sadly not all the minigames). Gotta say the game was one of the meaningful, well-dedicated narrative games so far that I hooked into. Digging more I found out the tragic story behind the game along with the discovery of the soundtracks within NITW. I do not have many words for my feelings right now but I can put it into one: Masterpiece! Thank you so much Agnes! I love you! And to the team behind this project as well, particularly, Alec.❤
I get like *really* anxious in the mornings when I have to drive to school and constantly thinking I forgot something from the night before and it's gonna be late... But this song really helps...
When I finished it, first snd only time for now, I had this feeling like "right that was my second life, noe it's over, leave it be the decisions I made, what to do?"
I really feel like this game should have beed as popular as undertale, but it also makes you feel like you have a hidden gem that only you and the fandom know about. Everyone seems to know undertale, but no one knows this game unless they've actually played it. This game has saved so many peoples lives, and to be honest just looking through the comments of this video im crying because I'm reminded of Alec and all that he did for us. May he rest in peace and in the stars. We love you Alec.
Night in the woods turned into this amazing masterpiece. A comedy/drama/horror game that was absolutely brilliant! I sincerely hope for a sequel, though i haven't even finished the game yet.
I played this game for the first time and I related with bea and mae the most. Everything about this game gave me perspective and quite frankly gave me a hope I didnt know I had. It gave me life when I needed it and learning what happened to alec both made me sad and happy he left such a legacy. RIP alec, hopefully you're at peace in possum springs. In the end of everything, hold on to anything.
i remember listening to this music whenever i went thought a hard time in 7th grade. it makes me feel better about my current situation. going back to when things were better and less confusing.
In this longest night. May you sleep well. Hold on tight. Before it takes you down to hell. Mr Holowka hold on tight. Sleeping through the night. There's no more fright. In this longest night. R.I.P. Mr Holowka, your legacy will continue to live on
@@theWeaverofTales She lied. Alec was pressured to keep his mouth shut because defending himself and showing proof that what his accuser said wasn't true would "give MRA's ammo" or something stupid like that. So with nowhere and no one to turn to and other mental health problems on top of that, Alec ended things. His accuser got the attention she wanted. She made these accusations on the anniversary of that letter coming out about her. So now she's gone on to ripping more people off, making up projects, taking money and not delivering on said projects.
I was a kid when Longest night came out, I was so mystified by the music and I loved the story. I never really did much, I wasn't allowed out, and what I had inside wasn't much to do with so I always used my imagination. Alec's music reminds me of the things I would make up in my mind, I couldnt quite comprehend what I imagined to make it real, but this is like listening to it, those nights feeling alone and spending it up wishing I was looking up at stars. I'm older now, I have actual friends, I can do more than I could as a child, and I'm grasping the thoughts I have to make them real. I always wanted to meet Alec but its clear that will never happen. Alec, if you're listening somewhere out there, you were a huge influence on my teen years, and made me grow passionate to learn music and follow my dreams. Thank you Alec, I hope you rest in peace.
I feel so much sorrow listening to this. Not only did i listen to this song when sad things happened in my life but now i am listening to it to remember the game that got me through those times, the game that Alec put his heart and soul into. Knowing how he felt and what has happened makes me feel even more sad listening to this. Rest in peace Alec, i wish we would never have to say that. I wish he could have gone on to make many more beautiful games with beautiful music like this.
I know that this comment is late, but I feel like I should express my thoughts here. This game means so much to me and so many others who’ve played it. It holds a special place in my heart and I’m glad that it’s getting the recognition that it deserves. On the subject of “Longest Night,” it reminds me of the moment with Angus and Mae when they were stargazing, and I feel like that moment was put in there to teach us something. In my opinion, that moment taught us that it’s okay to express our feelings and thoughts to someone, since Angus told Mae about his family and he’s kept that to a minimum so far. Rest In peace, Alec. Thank you for your work on this amazing game, and you will not be forgotten.
This game has changed a lot of things for me, it will always hold a special place in my heart, when my grandfather and mother passed away in 2018-2019 night in the woods was my coping mechanism, and still is when I’m feeling down, however the soundtrack makes me cry. May Alec Rest In Peace, he created this legend of a game and left us only 2 years after, he may be gone but never will be forgotten, nor will night in the woods and it’s amazing soundtrack
this game has been the most impact full game ever to me. this game has made my year so much better and made me see a lot of light, even in the circumstances we are in this past year. i thank the entire community and creator for making all of these amazing memories. i wish i could relive the moment i first fell in love with the game. i felt that the characters in this game were family and they actually were there guiding me along the way. i tried to spend as much time as possible with everything i could, i finally really understood at the end of everything hold onto anything. Thank you Alec, for everything. p.s gregg rulz ok.
thank you for everything Alex Holowka, your passion for music was noticed through projects like these, thank you for creating music that helped me on many occasions when I was not well. rest in peace.
As far as I can tell I am glad I found this game, and by how far I've played it (chapter 3) I can say, this game it is like reading an actual book, the dialogues between the characters and the sometimes-eerie creepy moments are like if you were reading an R.L. Stine Book (Goosebumps) but in a way more interesting way. Funny fact: I actually play bass guitar but sucked so bad at the bass minigame
Not me replying to a comment from 4 years ago but playing this game honestly felt like playing through some great novel of our time, I can imagine it being analysed in schools sometime in the future as an example of the climate of the early 21st century and how it was to live in it as a young person. idk
@@j-skullz I go to an animation and visual effects school and one of my classes was video game production two years ago. Every week we had to choose a game to present, recommend, and analyze and I did NITW one of the weeks.
I dont but music but I gotta admit I bought the entire soundtrack to this game fuckin hell Idk what it is but every track just builds off the last in a constant crescendo of beautiful music with calming at times and then sudden fearful or hype melodies. This game was a masterpiece and im constantly feening for more, well done.
i cry every fucking time i listen to this song. it gives off such un indescribable but incredible emotion for such a simple worldless song the artist must be incredible
It is currently 4:07 AM. I woke up before the rest of my family. So what was the most sensible thing to do in this scenario? Of course, lay on the couch and listen to this... It is... Blissful, to say the least. Good night, Alec Holowka.
@watashi unfortunately a lot of people came forward about Alec's treatment towards them. He had been in dire straits for a long time, and his fits of aggression and feelings of paranoia led him to do a lot of regrettable things. But it's important that we not see any person as bad or good. The enemy is mental illness, no matter what. We fight it by spreading love and compassion and friendship, that's the only way we can honor his legacy.
@@cooldude6651 Sadly, this world is build by hatred, how we can fight two enemies in two fronts without feel powerless? with no help, without anyone there to help you, we just go to the starts and let them take care of us until everything ends. Why we cant end at one for all?
@RavnDream Me too mate. For everyone has dark spots in their past Alec was no different, but all we as fans can do is hope for justice, and hope people stop dragging his name through the mud for personal gain.
To the two replies on this thread, I want to say something. Don't confuse getting what you want with getting even. Alec was hurt by mental health conditions, and while the immediate spark of his worsening condition was people coming forward about abuse, exacting vengeance on them isn't what he would have wanted. He said himself not to blame anybody, and we should honor that. The enemy is mental illness, and abusing and punishing other people for talking about their traumatic experiences won't solve the problem.
@@cooldude6651 Honestly I am not looking on going after anyone Karma will handle that for me. I just think the whole thing is sad, and was done far too publicly, and the people who just jumped on the hate wagon about him is not a good way to handle things. Any issue with people should be handled by that same party, and if they can't handle it then the proper authorities should. Not a court of public where context matters little or at all.
@RavnDream nah I've been through much worse and I'm still here. It's just awful that he chose to end it this way, but well.. it's awful that he chose to end it this way.
@@justadam7369 feeling emotion isn't a counterpoint to being a man. A healthy display of emotion makes you more healthy, and lowers the risk of mental health. The best way to honor the memory of Alec Holowka is to fight against mental illness, by being a good friend, by being a caring person, by experiencing emotion, by being something to hold on to at the end of everything. For all I care, my shit can fall apart.
I wanna clarify, god of randomness and luke fraczek, there were a number of different people who came forward and said that alec had effectively abused them due to his fragile mental state, fits of aggression, and overall unstable attitude. After his mental state recovered, people felt more comfortable coming forward to talk about how they had felt when working with alec, and the whole thing blew up. Don't pin the blame on any person. Mental health is the only enemy here, and abusing someone else back won't help anyone. The best thing we can do to honor his memory is to be a good friend, to care for people, to never abuse others, and to be something someone can hold onto at the end of everything.
Эххх... 2 года назад я наткнулся на видео об этой игре. После прослушивания музыки, после некого "знакомства" с персонажами этого шедевра я можно сказать переродился в другого человека. Обычные серые дни в школе ничего нового мне не приносили. Но после я стал спокойнее, счастливее. Раньше я яростно хотел приключений, но после осознал что даже суетливые дни представляют собой небольшое приключение Для чего я это пишу? Не знаю))) Возможно я просто опять окунулся в "серые суетливые дни" и снова "переродился" А может это просто ностальгия)
I’m really going to miss these incredible characters. Despite this game being fictional and years old by now. I really hope Mae, Gregg, Bea, Angus, and Germ are all doing well.
Man, I wish anything I've done or will ever do could make someone feel the way I felt about this beautiful story. I see elements of myself in Mea and her friends, like someone split me into different characters. Absolutely brilliant!
I've played this game since early 2021, and then I played it over the summer of that year, then the fall...and now Imma start playing it again in the fall. The point is: I adore this game lol. It's feels, it's music, and it's characters are fucking spectacular. I just love this game a lot, that's all.
This is an incredible song! It's so soft and gentle, like you look up at the night sky and watch the moon shine down, lighting up everything with this music playing in the background.......... Wow, That was weird haha!
Six years since Alec died. His work will always be remembered, and will continue to influence people's lives, though can we say the same for Quinn? Rest in peace, Alec.
It gives comfort, yet makes you cry. It gives you light, and shatters it. It makes you lave it, and wish it was never made at the same time. It is a huge wad of emotions.
I was watching our family album last night while I listen to this, man, its just good to remind these old times where all was so easy and happy, life can change so brutally...
We miss you Alec. You aren’t here anymore, but we will always remember you and the amazing game you helped make for us to enjoy. Remember, Greg Rulz ok.
God this song is always so immensely comforting for me. Idk what it is but it reminds me of simpler times, when life was just... easier. Shits been real bad recently, but I'm hopeful things are better right now for whoever else is listening to this.
This song makes me depressed and happy at the same time I love it

This is my favorite theme from the game. This whole game has such a nice and nostalgic style. It’s cozy and warm, and it’s just so great.

and here I am, this song is my safe space when I need a place to feel more like... me?
idk... but it helps. Thank you Alec
Rest well Alec. Thank you for making this beautiful game
thank you for everything Alex Holowka, your passion for music was noticed through projects like these, thank you for creating music that helped me on many occasions when I was not well.
rest in peace.
As far as I can tell I am glad I found this game, and by how far I've played it (chapter 3) I can say, this game it is like reading an actual book, the dialogues between the characters and the sometimes-eerie creepy moments are like if you were reading an R.L. Stine Book (Goosebumps) but in a way more interesting way. Funny fact: I actually play bass guitar but sucked so bad at the bass minigame
Have you beaten it yet? When i did... i felt wholesome
Not me replying to a comment from 4 years ago but playing this game honestly felt like playing through some great novel of our time, I can imagine it being analysed in schools sometime in the future as an example of the climate of the early 21st century and how it was to live in it as a young person. idk
@@j-skullz I go to an animation and visual effects school and one of my classes was video game production two years ago. Every week we had to choose a game to present, recommend, and analyze and I did NITW one of the weeks.
Rest in peace, Alec. Thank you.
I dont but music but I gotta admit I bought the entire soundtrack to this game fuckin hell Idk what it is but every track just builds off the last in a constant crescendo of beautiful music with calming at times and then sudden fearful or hype melodies. This game was a masterpiece and im constantly feening for more, well done.
i cry every fucking time i listen to this song. it gives off such un indescribable but incredible emotion for such a simple worldless song the artist must be incredible
The artist was incredible...
@@theneof5863i should replay nitw again
It is currently 4:07 AM. I woke up before the rest of my family. So what was the most sensible thing to do in this scenario?
Of course, lay on the couch and listen to this... It is... Blissful, to say the least.
Good night, Alec Holowka.
I don't care about controversy or anything, this is still probably my favorite video game music.
Agreed
@Brupcat I do now! That was written before the news was broken.
yeah he did a shit ton of wrong shit, but his songs helped me out a lot when i needed
@watashi unfortunately a lot of people came forward about Alec's treatment towards them. He had been in dire straits for a long time, and his fits of aggression and feelings of paranoia led him to do a lot of regrettable things. But it's important that we not see any person as bad or good. The enemy is mental illness, no matter what. We fight it by spreading love and compassion and friendship, that's the only way we can honor his legacy.
@@cooldude6651 Sadly, this world is build by hatred, how we can fight two enemies in two fronts without feel powerless? with no help, without anyone there to help you, we just go to the starts and let them take care of us until everything ends. Why we cant end at one for all?
Jan 10, 2017 -- never have I wanted January to come so fast
I'm with you on that one will be playing this for sure
that suck's but hey it's still coming out next month instead of coming out in the next 3 of 4 month's
I am from the future, and it's a really good game bye.
Thanks future person! So who is the president now?
Are you sure you wanna know?
rest in peace.
what a longest night..
i wish you have a sweet dream..
RIP Alec Holowka, we will remember all your beats and melodies in our hearts
Rest in peace, Alec. Listening to this on longest night in honor.
Great game.
Thank you, Alec, for everything.
Can't wait to see what these guys do next.
Literally nothing
So many indie games you need to play
Sadly they may not make anything else again...
This, like many other comments, did not age well.
Rest in Peace...

Good Night Alec hope we can all chat outside the Food Donkey when we all finally make it to Possum Springs
@RavnDream Me too mate. For everyone has dark spots in their past Alec was no different, but all we as fans can do is hope for justice, and hope people stop dragging his name through the mud for personal gain.
To the two replies on this thread, I want to say something. Don't confuse getting what you want with getting even. Alec was hurt by mental health conditions, and while the immediate spark of his worsening condition was people coming forward about abuse, exacting vengeance on them isn't what he would have wanted. He said himself not to blame anybody, and we should honor that. The enemy is mental illness, and abusing and punishing other people for talking about their traumatic experiences won't solve the problem.
@@cooldude6651 Honestly I am not looking on going after anyone Karma will handle that for me. I just think the whole thing is sad, and was done far too publicly, and the people who just jumped on the hate wagon about him is not a good way to handle things. Any issue with people should be handled by that same party, and if they can't handle it then the proper authorities should. Not a court of public where context matters little or at all.
@RavnDream nah I've been through much worse and I'm still here. It's just awful that he chose to end it this way, but well.. it's awful that he chose to end it this way.
If heaven exists, Possum Springs would be a good form for it to take.
I don't know if I want to cry or be happy beyond belief
Don't cry
Don't hype
Be a Man
Get Your Shit Together
JustAdam we should all be able to both cry and be happy beyond relief
@@Dorelaxen
*Watch. your. fucking. language.*
@@legendarytat8278 yeah... just..... yeah...
@@justadam7369 feeling emotion isn't a counterpoint to being a man. A healthy display of emotion makes you more healthy, and lowers the risk of mental health. The best way to honor the memory of Alec Holowka is to fight against mental illness, by being a good friend, by being a caring person, by experiencing emotion, by being something to hold on to at the end of everything.
For all I care, my shit can fall apart.
Sometimes, on summer nights, i find myself just whistling this song out of nowhere.
Dream on Alec.
Incredibly tranquil
also very happy-sad
Grow up and you'll see
What a cruel world we live in...
Rest in peace, Alec...
Dont be sad because its over, be happy because it happened
@@wellbytealeaf3890 and be angry as shit at what caused it to be over
@Luke Fraczek we'll do it the old fashioned way and crusade her
Rest in peace, with the ost create og NITW
I wanna clarify, god of randomness and luke fraczek, there were a number of different people who came forward and said that alec had effectively abused them due to his fragile mental state, fits of aggression, and overall unstable attitude. After his mental state recovered, people felt more comfortable coming forward to talk about how they had felt when working with alec, and the whole thing blew up. Don't pin the blame on any person. Mental health is the only enemy here, and abusing someone else back won't help anyone. The best thing we can do to honor his memory is to be a good friend, to care for people, to never abuse others, and to be something someone can hold onto at the end of everything.
Thanks for everything, Alec. :
Эххх...
2 года назад я наткнулся на видео об этой игре. После прослушивания музыки, после некого "знакомства" с персонажами этого шедевра я можно сказать переродился в другого человека. Обычные серые дни в школе ничего нового мне не приносили. Но после я стал спокойнее, счастливее. Раньше я яростно хотел приключений, но после осознал что даже суетливые дни представляют собой небольшое приключение
Для чего я это пишу?
Не знаю)))
Возможно я просто опять окунулся в "серые суетливые дни" и снова "переродился"
А может это просто ностальгия)
Это как-то.. мило?
Даа, повезло мне на русском уметь говорить.
I’m really going to miss these incredible characters. Despite this game being fictional and years old by now. I really hope Mae, Gregg, Bea, Angus, and Germ are all doing well.
Alec surely knew how to make good music. I hope he's doing great wherever he is.
Me too man.
Happy birthday alec
RIP ALEC thanks for your masterpieces
I will always love this series
Best indie game. Thanks alec rest in peace
I feel complete watching this on the actual winter solstice.
What a great OST. Gonna need to do a second playthrough of this one soon.
Man, I wish anything I've done or will ever do could make someone feel the way I felt about this beautiful story. I see elements of myself in Mea and her friends, like someone split me into different characters. Absolutely brilliant!
We'll never forget you, Alec.
I've played this game since early 2021, and then I played it over the summer of that year, then the fall...and now Imma start playing it again in the fall.
The point is: I adore this game lol. It's feels, it's music, and it's characters are fucking spectacular. I just love this game a lot, that's all.
💜
Well now the game is there.
*Isn't this BEAutifull?*
*maebea...*
Have my like and now go to sleep
HALT
MaeBea 4 life gurl
ORI!
CEASE
This is beautiful.
This is an incredible song! It's so soft and gentle, like you look up at the night sky and watch the moon shine down, lighting up everything with this music playing in the background..........
Wow, That was weird haha!
alphagirl2012 yeah it makes me feel safe and gives me a sense of peace... its soooooooo good!
the prince of fresh air yeah, it makes you just want to be inside on a rainy day, laying in your bed, nice and cozy
Hahaha
alphagirl2012 no that was beautiful
Yes that saying was indeed beautiful
Aydin Channel i love how the people who apologizes for their bad english are always the ones without any grammar mistakes
Six years since Alec died. His work will always be remembered, and will continue to influence people's lives, though can we say the same for Quinn? Rest in peace, Alec.
Night in the woods needs to release a full soundtrack. The music in this game makes me feel.
They're working on it. Can't wait. Supposedly has something like 130 tracks? Could be wrong though.
It's out as of last night. It's 111 tracks off the first two albums, its a 3 album dealie
It gives comfort, yet makes you cry. It gives you light, and shatters it. It makes you lave it, and wish it was never made at the same time. It is a huge wad of emotions.
Rest in peace, Holowka....
Great alarm clock music. Very pleasant
Kestrel I wouldn't be able to wake up
Never ever set good music for alarm. You'll hate it.
When i set good music for alarm i'm so enjoying it that i dont even wake up. So yeah, dont set good music for alarm ^_^
Maybe not an alarm, more like a lullaby, that wouldn't be too misplaced in a modded music box.
Kestrel How'd you set it as an alarm?
i effing love this game so much
Please don't be tricked
This is an _Indie_ game with an indie story
Fertfio Same
Доброй ночи, Алек. Твои работы будут вечны в памяти миллионов
I was watching our family album last night while I listen to this, man, its just good to remind these old times where all was so easy and happy, life can change so brutally...
Happy longest night every one and a happier new year
Rest in peace to Mr. Holowka.
This is one of the cutest songs in the entire game. It just makes me feel like lying on the grass and staring in the night sky.
We miss you Alec. You aren’t here anymore, but we will always remember you and the amazing game you helped make for us to enjoy.
Remember, Greg Rulz ok.
I have a feeling that this is a game I will play hundreds of times.
I love this game more than anything in the world.
Same dawg
yeah, it rly is the only constant i have, it's keeping me alive ngl :c
God this song is always so immensely comforting for me. Idk what it is but it reminds me of simpler times, when life was just... easier. Shits been real bad recently, but I'm hopeful things are better right now for whoever else is listening to this.
I'm listening to this and it makes me cry
