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

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。
