Yomawari is a Japanese horror action game and features a female protagonist that is searching for her older sister and pet dog, while exploring a creepy town at night. She only has a flashlight at her disposal, and using said flash light will let her “see things that shouldn’t be seen.”
"A young girl is walking her dog Poro around town at dusk when a tragic accident forces her to return home with only Poro's leash in hand. The girl's sister commands her to stay home while she goes out into the night to search for the dog. Time passes. Growing impatient, the girl decides to search for her missing sister and dog herself. But when she steps foot outside, she realizes that this is not the same town. The darkness has made the town unfamiliar, and she appears to be utterly alone...save for the spirits that stalk her. The girl must hide from, outsmart, or outrun the hunting spirits while she searches for clues to find her loved ones."

Highly Recommended That You Wait For This Game To Go On Sale TL;DR - This is a short puzzle game (even with a bit of exploration on my end it only took a little over 6 hours to complete), and the strategy tag is a mislabel. Still a fun play, but not for $20. ======== Coming on the heels of Firely Diaries, and considering it was a handheld game, I didn't expect a long trip. The overall atmosphere is self-explanatory - a quiet town in the dead of night. No music to intensify or interfere with the experience. Just silence and ambient noises. Since the game is played top down, it's less of a horror game (cute tag is of notable detriment) and far more of a puzzle adventure. The strategy tag really has no place up top, considering it's pretty basic what you can do: hide, run, and die. There is a tiptoe option for movement, but I never found a use for it. Almost all the enemies are triggere
I really enjoyed this, BUT There is an extreme over-emphasis on chases in this game, and it is balanced in favour of killing you. Because your stamina drains faster the nearer you are to a spirit, the closer a spirit gets, the harder it becomes to escape. This means that if you are not both ridiculously strategic and lucky with your movements, you will get killed over, and over, and over, and over. It is also split-second punishing, and unfairly punishing. For example, in one chase section, I couldn't nail it - until I watched a walkthrough and saw the player run south instead of north. It made no difference in distance on the map, but in the game was the difference between dying repeatedly or completing that section. Despite this, it really is quite magical. I found the story engrossing, and when I read about the shinto aspects of the different competing spirits / gods, it was really
As much as I enjoyed my time with Yomawari I can't really recommend this game. Maybe I'm to picky with it comes to Horror, Yomawari isn't a bad game, its well made and certainly above the quality of the slapdash horror games that pollute steam, but it suffers from so many of the common problems of its genre. It certainly starts well, the introduction has some real "impact" (you'll get that if you've already played it) and the atmosphere and monsters bring the creep factor. You play the role of a young girl who has lost her dog, your sister goes out to look for it but never comes back and as night falls you set out in search of her. As you wander the empty streets you'll catch glimpses of shadowy figures under the streetlights, figures that literally fade into the dark. Its here that you learn that the various spirits that haunt the town cannot be seen except when light is shone on them
See written review below or watch it here: https://youtu.be/wXPiMHIOVqY TL;DR: SKIP TO CONCLUSION! Yomawari: Night Alone is a cute horror adventure game where you play as a little girl searching for your big sister and lost dog. You wander alone in the dark, with only a flashlight to help guide your way. Terrible creatures lurk in the night, and many of them will try to hunt you down. In this game, you don’t have a health bar to monitor, and you are always one-shotted if you get hit, so expect to die quite a bit. The only resource that you need to monitor is your stamina. While in close proximity to monsters, your stamina drains even faster, and the sound of the heartbeat intensifies; pounding louder and faster, it really makes you feel on edge, especially if you don’t know exactly where the enemies are coming from. Trial and error definitely plays a role as you venture around the
Yomawari: Night Alone at the surface is a cutesy, isometric adventure where the protagonist looks for her missing sister. However underneath all that there is a dark tale unfolding at a spirit infested Japanese town at night. The narrative basically punches you in the gut right at the beginning, setting the grim tone for the rest of the game. The visuals are hand drawn & beautifully detailed. Locations are pretty, and very accurately depicted. The environment alone plays huge part in creating this wonderful, eerie atmosphere. But it's the monsters that are absolutely terrifying & heart attack inducing. Imo the Japanese folklore features one of the scariest bunch out there. I experienced constant goosebumps & frequent moments of panic. The gameplay consists of exploring various parts of town, reading notes, finding objects, and using them in appropriate places. Enemies are plentiful and
I'll give my short but honest review of this game. Overall its a decent game, the art, the soundtrack, the atmosphere, the scares, the gameplay but the only downside is that its too short and the $20.00 price tag seems to much for a 4-5 hr game. Due to this, I recommend purchasing it if its on Sale. But even though its short, I enjoyed every minute and every second of it. I hope they make or publish more games like this. Just some Tips: 1. Play this game with a headphone on and with the lights of for full immersion. 2. Don't be afraid to spend coins on save points, coins are very abundant. 3. And if you really want to enjoy the game, don't read walkthroughs or watch videos until you finish this game.
