The main storyline is dark and ambiguous, but what really makes the world of Yomawari interesting is that the collectibles you find throughout the town hint at other stories when you read their descriptions. You don’t lose anything by warping back to your house.) Don’t be put off by the game’s confusing warning that your save point will be reset. If you want to save your progress, you need to return to your house.
(However, the statues only work for fast travel and for you to respawn when you die. On the other hand, you don’t lose any items when you die, and there are quick-save statues scattered around the map that you can fast-travel between. Enemies kill you in a single strike, and it often takes a lot of trial and error to figure out how to get past them. It even has a sort of “Otherworld” in one chapter. It has a lonely, unsettling atmosphere, and you never quite feel safe.
Despite the lack of combat, this actually reminded me a lot of Silent Hill, especially the first Silent Hill. Instead, you rely on sound and your heartbeat (which functions as a sort of radar system while in hiding) to let you know when the danger has passed.Īs you search for your sister, much of your time will be spent exploring the town. You can’t fight, and when you hide in the bushes, you can’t see anything. If you know anything about yokai, expect those kinds of creatures. There’s all sorts of creepy, unsettling, and just plain bizarre spirits lurking around. You play a little girl searching for her sister in a city filled with spirits and monsters. Yomawari is definitely horror, and it makes sure you realize early on that despite the cutesy graphics, plenty of darkness and death await you. Yomawari: Night Alone, available for the PS Vita and Steam, looks like a cute game.
