Yomawari: Midnight Shadows
Adventure 24 October 2017
Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is a horror action-adventure game developed by the Japanese studio Nippon Ichi Software and a sequel to Yomawari: Night Alone. The game takes place in modern-day Japan and tells the story of two girls, Yui and Haru, who can't find the way back home from their trip to the mountains. To make matters worse, they get separated after a short while. In terms of gameplay mechanics, Yomawari: Midnight Shadows will test our dexterity and wit. As we play, we explore a city that drastically changes when the sun came down and try to make the girls meet. The campaign has segments where we will play as both Yui and Haru. Actions we take as one of them influence the fate of the other. Our heroines are practically defenseless, so we will have to do anything we can to avoid any kind of confrontation. The gameplay, however, does not focus only on sneaking around. From time to time we will have to simply run away or defeat ghosts with the help of various items.
Yomawari: Night Alone
Adventure 29 October 2015
A cartoonish survival horror stealth game with an isometric view. The production was developed by Japanese studio Nippon Ichi Software, known mostly for the Disgaea series. In Yomawari: Night Alone you play as a little girl, who embarks on a search for her missing sister and dog, on her own, after dark. It quickly turns out that the town streets are full of wraiths, from which the girl has to hide. To survive, you have to sneak past the ghosts, divert their attention, and try to outsmart them. What warns you against the nearby threats is the visualization of the girl's heartbeat — the closer a ghost is, the faster your heart rate. The game also features logic puzzles. You should also gather coins, which you can use to buy favors from the local deities in temples. Despite the 2D visuals, resembling Japanese anime, they create a truly frightening atmosphere thanks to the subdued colors and the designs of the wraiths.
