This game is brought to life in 2d topdown anime like artstyle with the main character and her sister and dog having some chibi-like qualities while the ghosts and monsters take a more “realistic” detailed appearance. or to exact their terrible revenge on those who took them from this earth to early. It is a journey that is filled with mysterious and dangerous spirits which want nothing more than to eat a little girl.

whom she claims will die if she is not found. The older sister goes to find Poro but doesn’t seem to be returning so the traumatised little girl has to search all over town for her dog that presumably died and her sister. When that sister asks where Poro is the little girl is too traumatised to remember and says she doesn’t know. It is there that she lives alone with her older sister. the girl looks flustered and makes her way home. Left with only a big pile of blood in the road, a torn collar and a hole in the side rails. It is shown we can toss items as well and when we toss a stone we just picked up our dog goes to fetch it and run under a truck.

In this game you play a nameless girl protagonist who during the tutorial is walking her dog. about two more hours depending on your skill and control scheme. To gain all hidden items I’d say would take. I finished the game in about 4 and a half hours myself, which included about one hours of pointless searching, including me exploring for some hidden items. It takes roughly 3 to 5 five hours to complete this game, depending on if you are prone to use a guide on what to do if you are stuck yes or no. Getting mostly Positive to mixed reviews and only a handful of negative ones. The game scores about a 7,5 on Metacritic.

I got gifted the Steam edition and as such will be reviewing that version and that version exclusively. The game has since seen a release on Switch with it’s Sequel : Yomawari: Midnight Shadows as the Yomawari Long Night Collection, launching close to Halloween 2018. Although the Japanese PS Vita game came out a year prior to the Steam version’s World Wide release. Yomawari: Night Alone was a game that was developed for PS Vita and Steam spread around the world in October 2016.
