Yomawari: Midnight Shadows Gameplay

This is a sequel to Yomawari: Night Alone. Help reunite friends Yui and Haru after they lose each other at a hanabi matsuri (fireworks festival).

In the dark, all they have are flashlights and their wits. They cannot fight off the lurking spirits, but can hide, dodge and use special items. Developed by Nippon Ichi Software, the cute, childlike style point-and-click offers something unique in gameplay: The story unfolds by alternating between Yui and Haru’s point of view.

Depending on the player’s choices as each character, the plot will propel their intertwined story.
