Animo heightens immersion by organically weaving together open-world exploration and bonding with mysterious creatures. It provides clear objectives and rewards during early gameplay through the process of utilizing 'Twine'—the ability to transform into an Animo—to traverse the field by flying, swimming, and climbing while collecting hidden 'Radiance Fragments'. Additionally, the encyclopedia system that sheds light on the ecology of Animo's, alongside the sub-quest 'Journey' that delves into their hidden lore, also stand out.

Village in the Shade is a new title in which the Yomawari development team combines traditional horror elements with Stardew Valley-style farming simulation. Both the horror and everyday parts are well-structured, and the volume is balanced enough that it is not difficult to read both parts in parallel. The night’s heart-pounding terror and the daytime’s chill coexist in harmony with everyday life, while also capturing the fun of breaking the rules of a traditional village. Overall, the level of polish and stability is adequate, but it lacks a certain degree of originality.
