YOMAWARI NIGHT ALONE COLLECTABLES FULL
Being a little girl walking alone at night in an empty town full of monsters is not an easy task. The game has also a very interesting atmosphere like a fairytale, but dark and oppressive. Since Yomawari is a cryptic and surreal game, there isn’t any explanation about what the creatures are, so the only way to correctly identify the yokai is a good knowledge of japanese folkore. While dozens of creepy creatures will kill you in a second, an animated plastic bag will simply follow you dancing, while a human statue will just walk slowly in the school field.Īlso the majority of the enemies are traditional japanese demons, like the Nuppeppo a sort of faceless blob of meat typical of japanese folkore. The nice thing is that not all these creatures are evil, some just exists, without any harm.
In 2017, where the majority of the horror games have one or none enemies, Yomawari shines with monstrosities made of eyes, a giant child imprisoned in a house, animated scribbles and even a giant floating cat’s head. This because Yomawari has also one of the most interesting, inspired and wide selection of enemies. Yes, if you like creepy creatures Yomawari can be a sort of masochistic Pokemon when you will finish to run in search of new nice enemies that will probably kill you.
