Sometimes, these are purposefully simplistic monstrosities, depicted in a rough caricature of a child’s drawing. Forced to explore her town at night to track down her missing dog and the older sister who went searching ahead of her, she shares the streets with things that have no real right to exist. She’s adorable, resplendent in her pastel-shaded pixels, armed with her floppy hair bow and cute rabbit backpack. Some of that resonates due to how hard it fosters a sense of protectiveness between you, the player, and the unnamed little girl who serves protagonist. Of exploring a twisted world dressed up in normality, but, at the same time, being completely wrong on almost every level.
Instead of being in your face the entire time, Yomawari specialises at putting you in a constant state of unease. Rarely, if ever, will you find yourself overly disturbed by some perverse grotesquery or suffer a cheap jump scare at something lurching suddenly out of the shadows. Yomawari: Night Alone is creeping horror done right. "From the sadistic minds that brought you htol#NiQ: The Firefly Diary."
