The dark is no place to be alone. After a beautiful show of summer fireworks, two young girls begin to make their way home. However, a mysterious attacker separates them, and both must brave the haunting night filled with unspeakable terrors and survive the darkness.

About the story

As summer vacation ends, two young girls visit a mountain clearing to watch the evening fireworks. As night falls and the fireworks end, their hometown becomes enveloped in darkness. On their journey home, something lunges from the shadows to attack, and the two girls find themselves lost in the dark. Separated and afraid, the girls must brace themselves for the terrors of the night, and face the darkness to find each other and make their way home. Hide behind bushes and signs as enemies approach you, and use items you find in the woods and in town to solve puzzles and distract ghouls. Then, discover notes and mysterious writings that may lead to something more haunting than you can imagine...

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is a great sequel to Yomawari: Night Alone that bumps up the horror and gore while doing everything that its prequel did so well. If you liked the first game in the series then you're going to love this one, but even if you haven't played it you can dive right into the sequel since it's mostly self-contained.

Clunky movement and harsh difficulty ultimately let this down, but there’s a strong story here with some creepy and creative designs. A worthwhile experience if you like this style of game, but prepare yourself for some frustration along the way.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows rides the wave from a horror standout from last year, but it fails to bring something new to the table and exaggerates in what made the first game so special.

So the question comes to why you should buy Midnight Shadows? Well if you're looking for a horror game, there are better titles out there and if you want a deep, memorable adventure Yomawari is at most fine. But despite all of this, it's an enjoyable experience for those who like these kind of games or those who enjoyed the previous game.
