Navigate Night in the Woods' "Weird Autumn" chapter with our comprehensive guide. Uncover all Notebook Sketches, explore new areas, and make key story choices.
This part of the game stops being polite and starts getting real. In this chapter, you will delve deeper into Mae's relationships with her friends and family, leading to some funny and extremely not funny scenes. A lot of the town will be opened up by the end of this chapter, so there is a ton to see and do. You can breed an entire nest of rats, find a bunch of Dusk Stars, and of course bury yourself in Demontower if you're in the mood for a more old-school gaming experience. This guide will help you make sure you don't miss anything, but feel free to go at your own pace and putz around town if you want.
Additionally, this is the chapter where you will have some choices about how the story unfolds. At three different points, you will be given the option of hanging out with Gregg or with Bea. You can hang out with one and only one of them, and whoever you don't hang out with, you just won't have a scene with. You can mix and match, so you don't need to hang out with the same person all three times. It is worth noting that the ending will be somewhat different depending on which of these two you hung out with more, so make sure you pick whoever you prefer twice during this chapter.
Of course, if you are not interested in seeing everything there is to see in town, you can just immediately go to whichever character it is you need to talk to in order to move to the next scene and bypass all of the extraneous stuff. The extraneous stuff is some of the most fun stuff, but play however you want to play.
Area Overview
| Location | Action | Object | Notes |
| Your House, Your Room | Inspect | Guitar | Can now select "Go Get Dead, Angel Face", but Mae will refuse to play it out of embarrassment. |
| Your House, Your Room | Inspect | Computer | New messages from chattrBox, Bea, and Gregg. |
| Your House, Second Floor | Inspect | Portrait | Still looking good, younger you. |
| Your House, Second Floor | Inspect | Clock | Mae ponders luxury items for a bit. |
| Your House, Second Floor | Inspect | Books | Reminisce about your grandfather. You'll also find a secret inscription. "Left 45, Right 100, Left 22, Left 90, Right 15". You'll get a Notebook Sketch for inspecting the shelf. |
| Your House, First Floor | Talk | Mom | She lets you know the power lines and church steps have been repaired. You'll get an "EFF THE COPS" Notebook Sketch for talking to her. It isn't as tough as it sounds. |
| Outside Your House | Inspect | Top Of Pole | If you climb up to the power lines in front of your house, you can jump on top of the pole directly in front of your house. You need to be right on top of the wooden part, and then you can inspect it three times for Mae to tell you a story about the flood. |
| Outside Bea's House | Talk | Selmers | Selmers is the name of the lady on the stoop as soon as you enter this screen. Talk to her and then tell her you want to hear her poetry to get another Notebook Sketch. |
| Outside Bea's House | Talk | Mr. Chazokov | He'll be up on the roof of the house on the right of the screen. Use the power lines of the previous screen to get up to the building on the far left, then jump from rooftop to rooftop to get to the building on the right. Help him find the two Dusk Stars to get two new Notebook Sketches. |
| Outside Bea's House | Talk | Crow | The crow is now unhappy that you're on his porch and Mr. Chazokov is up on the roof next door. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Enter | Market House | You can talk to both Bea and her co-worker inside here. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Inspect | War Monument | Apparently ten of Mae's classmates went off and joined the army to pay for college. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Inspect | Stairs | If you go up the stairs above the tunnel, you can check and see that construction is done. You can move on to the church. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Inspect | Weather Station | Construction on the streetlight is also done. Climb up halfway on the stairs and you can jump over on the streetlight. Jump up on the first roof ledge you can, then jump on the roof ledge to the right of it. From here you can actually jump on the roof of the first building and inspect the Weather Station on top of it. If you jump on the right side of the wheel for long enough, the base will open up and a little package will fly out. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Talk | Lori M. | That mouse from before is up on one of the roofs. Follow the path to the aforementioned weather station but then jump on the chimney to get to the adjacent roof. Follow the power line up here to the next building, and jump on top of the orange wet floor bucket to get to the roof of the next building. Lori M. is up here, and you can talk about where she lives if you want. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Inspect | Roof Cat | To the right of Lori M. is a taller building. There is a cat up on the very top of the roof of this building, outside your viewpoint from here. It is a bit difficult to get up to, but what I did was start to the right of the "Piso Mojado" bucket on the level below Lori. Get a running start, and jump onto the "Piso Mojado" bucket. Keep moving and jump from that bucket to the roof Lori M. is on, then jump from here to the next level of the larger building. You'll need to get the extra elevation from the moving jump on the last hop, so make sure you plan out the jump accordingly. As soon as you jump on the roof Lori is on, begin pushing back to the right instead of left to get up on the roof. You want to jump on sort of the right edge of the bucket at first to get this to work, otherwise you won't have enough space to maneuver back around. Once you're finally up here you can inspect the cat on the roof and you'll get the "Roof Cat" Notebook Sketch. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Enter | Window | To the right of Lori M. is a taller building. You want to drop down to the level below the "Piso Mojado" sign. There is a slightly ajar window down here. Interact with it to open it all the way. You can climb inside after. |
| Storefronts, Screen 1 | Inspect | Weather Station B | If you looked at the previous weather station, you can actually look at this one. To the left |
