The protagonists of Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows suddenly find themselves immersed in a nightmare environment, inhabited by horrible and extremely lethal monsters there is no health bar, just a touch from the enemies and it is game over. The game formula of Yomawari: The Long Night Collection is identical for both titles present and consists of a survival horror expertly mixed with some elements from puzzle game. All this even before considering a gameplay based on a few ideas, but solid and decidedly winning: we are still talking about two games that are lived all in one breath, with the lump constantly in the throat. It is from the point of view of the disturbing game atmospheres and the charisma of delicately hand-drawn macabre places, always seasoned with that touch of tenderness of the protagonists' silhouettes, that Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows are once again the winners. Half of the proposed situations will seem familiar to the player and there are really no new ideas, but this does not mean that even the story of Haru and Yui does not deserve to be lived, considering the title an evolution and strengthening of the idea of the previous one. The narrative premise of the latter cannot fail to seem too similar to that of the predecessor, with two separated friends at sunset who must find themselves in an equally recognizable Japanese village. While Yomawari: Night Alone has an original central idea and a gameplay realization that is also decidedly fresh (or at least, it was two years ago), the same cannot be said for its successor, namely Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. He ends up losing her too, and to find her again he will find himself immersed in a nightmare with open eyes: the small Japanese rural town where they live seems inhabited, after sunset, by hostile creatures, drawn from the most horrendous fairy tales of the Japanese tradition.īetween precipitous escapes, cunning diversions and heart-pounding explorations, the protagonist will take between six and seven hours of gameplay to find her sister. In Yomawari: Night Alone, the little nameless protagonist has just lost her dog Poro when her older sister decides to run to find him. Although set in different times and places, the two titles are thematically similar: both start from a very specific point, the fear of the dark and of the creatures that hide there, and develop it by telling the story of two different girls looking for a loved one.
Yomawari: The Long Night Collection includes two relatively recent titles, Yomawari: Night Alone (2016) and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows (2017), both of which are the fruit of the work of Nippon Ichi and the visionary mind of developer Yu Mizokami. If you are afraid of the dark, we advise you not to continue reading ours review.
And waiting for the protagonists of the titles there will be a long night, apparently without end, from which they may never return. Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows will return in these days on PlayStation 4 and for the first time also on Nintendo Switch, in a collection with a very clear and evocative title: Yomawari: The Long Night Collection. NIS America for his part he still has two arrows that are simply perfect for his bow, and has decided to shoot them at the same time. But be careful – some evil spirits may surprise you with their considerable speed.Halloween 2018 is approaching, and it is normal that publishers have aimed precisely at this period to launch their most macabre, disturbing or more generally horror-themed games.
