Fans of shocking, startling horror games packed full of jumpscares should skip this one. If you're into atmospheric horror like Yume Nikki, though? Give it a shot. Some of the coolest and most interesting designs for characters and monsters I've seen in gaming. I didn't find this to be very scary at all but still loved it.

This game is so cute!!! but it's kind of hard when you encounter the ghost. And also, it have a few unexpected jump scares which are scary. I like the late night atmosphere that this game gave me.More than that, I love how the story written. Overall i give this game 100/10 XD

This is a perfect example of how a single mechanic can undermine an otherwise unforgettable experience. In this case, it's the boss fights—or rather, boss "events". For most of the game, you're immersed in beautifully eerie nighttime settings, avoiding spooky ghosts. You wander through dark streets, listening for the sound of your heartbeat as it warns of nearby danger. Along the way, you collect trinkets, admire the "child's drawing" art style which I loved, pet the cats, grow close to your friend and, of course, to the adorable pomeranian. Then, out of nowhere, you're thrust into what feels like a Dark Souls boss fight—but without rolling, without stamina, without a weapon, and without fun. You’ll die over and over, trying to figure out the boss’s patterns, only to dodge with your sluggish speed. This game wasn’t built for these kinds of encounters. It could have been an incredible horror experience, but they squandered that potential by forcing in frustrating "boss action" sequences that, quite frankly, no one asked for—or enjoyed. --- EDIT after I beat it: I got a little bit emotional after the last chapter and ending, so in the end I'm left with a positive experience rather than the negative one. But those bosses are unforgivable. Don't do that BS.

I faced the horror and drama reminiscent of a midsummer night's dream. Believing in the promise of eternity, I crawled out of the abyss in the darkness before dawn. And finally, I bid farewell to the invisible and unbreakable knot of fate. あなたをさらいに夜がくる。

Feb. 2024

Great sequel which improves on the original in a lot of ways. I really enjoyed the story in this one particularly. The Yomawari games are definitely not worth buying at full price given their length and how janky they are but if you can get them cheap on a sale I wholeheartedly recommend them. I really want to get to the 3rd game sometime whenever there is a good sale.
