Mae Borowski drops out of college and returns home to the former mining town of Possum Springs. She seeks to resume her former life and reconnect with childhood friends. However, things have changed and her friends are different now since she went to college. Her friends include Bea Santello a somber crocodile and Gregg Lee, childhood friend and energetic fox. This also includes Angus Delaney, a quiet bear.

Mae spends multiple days exploring Possum Springs and hanging out with her friends. When she sleeps, she starts having strange and vivid dreams. At the town's Harfest or Halloween Festival, Mae witnesses a teenager being kidnapped by a mysterious figure. The four friends begin working together to figure out what is going on, with Mae's mental health slowly deteriorating as she experiences more of these dreams. After searching through the forest, the four stumble across a group of cloaked figures in the woods. After being discovered, the cloaked figures chase the four friends and Mae ends up falling and lapses into a coma.

After waking up from the coma, she visits her friends and reveals that she had a depersonalization disorder to Gregg. She states that she saw objects and people as just mere shapes and lines. She felt a deep sorrow for everything around her and lamented to Gregg that nothing was there for her and that everything was just "stuff in the universe."

While being wounded, Mae proceeds to venture out into the woods by herself, attempting to find the cloaked figures who chased her and her friends. A cloaked figure confronts Mae but Gregg, Bea and Angus eventually find her. The group enter the old coal mine and meet the mysterious group, who are revealed to be a cult. The cult turns out to be behind the kidnappings of several residents. This includes Casey Hartley, who was a friend of Mae. They targeted those whom they deem useless to society and whom they say "will not be missed" into the mines to sacrifice them to a god-like entity called the Black Goat. The cultists hope that the Black Goat will revitalize the economy of Possum Springs. The cult's leader allows the group to leave but threaten them never to reveal what they had seen. The group leave and ride up the mine's elevator but a member of the group attacked by Gregg attempts to assault Mae. The others manage to save her and the elevator falls, causing a cave in and presumably trapping the cultist down there.

Depending on who the player interacted with the most throughout the course of the game, Mae will interact with either Bea or Gregg and talk about the events of last night, and what happened during their time in Possum Spring. The other friends join them afterwards, and Mae tells them that although they will all be forced to grow and adapt to life as it goes on for better and for worse, they can enjoy their time together now. The game ends as the four decide to forget about their current problems for the time being and practice for band.
