The second game in the Yomawari series. Compared to the first entry's open-ended nature, this one feels like an over-correction into a much more linear experience. At the same time its narrative is a lot more involved and grips at the heartstrings, so it's no wonder to me that it's so beloved. Personally it was my least favourite of the trilogy to play, but I'm still glad I stuck with it to see these two girls' story to the end.

This is a review I felt like I need to do- now that I bought the game twice (here, and on the switch). I used to have a love-hate relationship for this game: it's not like the first game, blabla. Now that it's been years, I feel like I can objectively talk about it. I want to say that I enjoyed the first Yomawari, but it's not needed to complete it to play this one. There's only one easter egg (a really cute one) for people that have played the first one. If anything, I recommend this one over the first, as the gameplay is much less frustrating. Unlike the first game, this one has a long and complex story. I mean, the first had a story too, but clearly not as complex as this one (you have 2 different PoVs after all!). On top of that, you get more systems like bonus items. This comes with a big problem: you are handholded through a good chunk of the game. And this is why I could never fully love this game; The first game letting you explore felt really immersing as you desperately tried to avoid monsters and ghosts and get lost in an oppressive night, but this one locks you into specific paths to make sure you cannot avoid to go to the next part of the story. I enjoyed the story and it's honestly one of the best I've seen from how emotional and tragic it is (especially with legit 8 yrs old children??), but to go from the sandbox first game to this was something I couldn't readily accept. Besides that, the game also introduces new ghosts on top of the ones from the first games. I personally liked them. The level design though was fantastic- as long as you properly used the Jinzo statues (the temporary quick save points). This makes it this game can be very hard to put down: not in the sense that it's gripping, but because you need to save the game (at the house only) and you just cannot , because you are too deep inside a level. My personal favourite was the haunted house as the game uses its atmosphere perfectly. Gameplay-wise, it's similar to the first Yomawari Night. However, due to its nature of being separated by chapters, the game is much less punishing than the first one, who was... rough around the edges, and much less polished. It is still very much a die and retry, but I'd still recommend it over the first due to all the QoL and polishing it got. The graphics are however, very much improved, with a lot of shading to each asset compared to the first Yomawari. The game is a treat to look at and I loved taking screenshots of it, especially the train level! On a final note, I really do recommend this game the most over any of the other Yomawari games, as it is genuinely a really good game (if you don't mind the die and retry), and a good first entry point into the series (even if realistically, none of the games connect to each others deeply).

This is truly one of the best games I've ever played. The art is gorgeous, the story is rich, and the mood is perfect. Everything down to the most minute detail is well polished and after completing the whole trilogy I will look back at this game fondly in particular. It held onto that spark the first game had but expanded on it thrice-fold in story, character, and world-building/expansion. With references and special appearances from the first game, it stood out from the other two games. Don't get me wrong, I would suggest that anyone play the whole trilogy from start to finish so they can truly appreciate this game. In the end, Yomawari Midnight Shadows is a game I will remember long after playing it. It might not be like that for you, but it is for me, so why not give it a try? It might surprise you.

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
