What is Up All Night?
After a tragedy, recent high school graduate Nick goes to a remote cabin with his mother for a winter break.
A blizzard leaves her stuck in town and Nick alone at the cottage, without phone service or internet. He heads into the surrounding woods and finds a grisly scene. With Felix and Grayson, two local acquaintances, Nick investigates what is haunting the area and tries to survive. This story-focused adventure includes more than 25,000 words, seven character sprites with over 100 expressions, five illustrations to unlock, and an original soundtrack. It has eight endings. A separate free spinoff, Up All Night: Daybreak, follows Nick after the events of Rumination.
