Yomawari: Night Alone (PS Vita)


Trailer

This is a little horror game from Nippon Ichi, where you're a little girl wandering streets at night looking for her dog. And everywhere is full of ghosts and monsters.

I guess atmosphere is built better than the trailer might suggest. Somewhere around Halloween last year, I watched an episode of Imagine-nation on the NHK channel where they played a bit of this game. The female host - Chiaki - was really nervous, and... well, I've never seen a jump scare so literal as I have seen her playing that game. I mean, she physically dropped the Vita, leapt out of her chair, jumped back about 2 feet and her eyes filled with tears, all in a split second. What reactions! So beware - this game might make you damage your Vita if you are too nervous. :P
