I'll bite! What's the jrwinitw au?

Nitw (Night in The Woods) is a 2010s indie game about a college dropout named mae borowski returning to her hometown of possum springs, but something is off, and mae is determined to find out what is going on. I recommend actually watching a nitw playthrough if you haven’t ever heard of it, it is beautiful and is the only game that’s ever brought me to tears (The game features things like ghosts, cults, psychosis/BPD/derealization, the fallout of company towns, poverty, familial death, homophobia, abuse, so be warned! It handles all these topics beautifully, but they are heavy nonetheless).

Jrwinitw will spoil the plot of nitw! You have been warned!

Jrwinitw takes my favorite aspects of jrwi and nitw and makes a chip-centric story in which chip is returning to the port city of Blackrose. He meets up with Lizzie Lafayette and she takes him to band practice where chip finds Jay, someone he was close to when they were like 10, Lizzie’s girlfriend Edyn Fischer, who Chip met like once before, and ollie, this highschool senior who just chills with the gang. For some reason Gill, Edyn’s cousin and the old drummer for the band, has gone missing. The gang has band practice then heads to Chey’s Kitchen for some pizza and when they leave they find a blackened and severed arm, giving the first taste of the mystery portion of the story!

For the au I’ll mostly be redrawing screenshots or doing rough animatics of scenes from the game, I’m really excited to do the final act especially!
