Watch Gamasutra plays Night in the Woods with co-creator Scott Benson from Gamasutra on www.twitch.tv

Night in the Woods co-creator Scott Benson has seen a fantastic reaction to the game on all platforms, Switch included. It's wonderful to see the game get such great attention, especially considering what Benson put himself through. According to Benson, he worked multiple 16-hour days to put the experience together, and this lead to some scary health situations. His doctor ended up telling him that if he ever tried doing that again, he might not recover.

You can hear those tidbits and much more in the interview linked above. Benson touches on why the Switch is a great platform for narrative games, spur-of-the-moment inspirations, and other tidbits. Check it out if you have the time.
