To say I was shocked by the sudden change of pace would be an understatement, as it would effectively set up the 10 or so hours I spent on the game perfectly, showcasing a dark (yet emotional) tale of friendship that I genuinely wanted to see through to the end.

What follows is a intro of the girl burying her pet in the woods near her house, eventually leading up to her hanging herself from a nearby tree. The game’s narrative begins with a young girl’s diary explaining how her pet dog died as well as her feelings regarding it, setting the game up very innocently in nature. Yomawari: While the game may appear innocent at first, it soon takes a dark turn that lasts for the entirety of the storyline. While it could be argued that the art style would lead many to believe that the game is intended for a younger audience, the subject matter and themes covered are anything but, leading to the old adage of ‘never judge a book by its cover’.

It soon becomes apparent that everything is not as it seems, as the town and nearby woods are haunted by spirits whose only intention is to take the lives of the two young protagonists. Yomawari: Midnight Shadows follows the story of two young girls called Yui and Haru, who get separated on their way home from a fireworks show.

Developed by Nippon Ichi Software (who are more formally known for the Disgaea series) Midnight Shadows is the sequel to the 2015 PS Vita title Yomawari: Night Alone, which was met with positive reviews from fans and critics alike, leading it to achieve somewhat of a cult following. Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is a survival horror game that actually lives up to it’s namesake, opting for a solid use of atmosphere and unscripted jump scares as a means to create a solid survival focused horror experience that hasn’t been done correctly for quite some time.

While the Resident Evil series (amongst others) can hang their hat on being the founders of the genre, they were also the ones responsible for its downfall, with the likes of Resident Evil 4 (although it was a good game) onwards moulding the survival horror formula to be more grounded within fast-paced combat and action, rather than item management and the suspenseful ‘run & hide’ encounters from the days of yore. Survival horror is a title that’s been thrown around quite a bit over the last decade by game developers while the genre still exists, it’s rarely reflected in the games that claim to represent the medium.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows launches in Europe and the UK today for £29.99 on the PSN Store, and as usual I’ll be covering whether the game is worth your time and money. While relatively unheard of to anyone who didn’t own a Vita in 2015, the original was praised for presenting an emotional yet genuinely unnerving story.
