Yomawari: Lost in the Dark Reviews
If you’re looking for a horror game to play, Yomawari: Lost in the Dark is a solid example of atmospheric storytelling and tackling daunting subjects without hammering the point home too much. It plays great on the Switch and benefits from the console’s portability. Playing with headphones in and in a dark room really adds to the tension. You can also grab it on Steam and PlayStation consoles.
Yomawari: Lost in the Dark manages to show that cute graphics aren't a hindrance for a high quality horror game. With an excellent direction, especially in the sound department, the title does a prime job at keeping the player immersed in the context of its fragile protagonist facing the night creatures.

A third chapter that does not differ too much from the previous ones but is expanded in terms of map and plot.

Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
The third part of a series of continuist games of fear, which distributes terror between an overwhelming atmosphere, product of a visual and sound design of luxury, with an infinity of jumpscares and some elements without much sense.

The presentation and the fear factor of Yomawari: Lost in the Dark leave a great first impression. The beautifully crafted visuals and moment-to-moment potential horror you face makes it an unnerving experience that’s hard to shake. However, the more you play, the less you’re rewarded with actual reasoning from the story. It’s a gut punch to persevere in the final act. This may be appealing to fans of the series but it didn’t make a new one of me by the end.
Yomawari: Lost in the Dark starts great, has a superb atmosphere, nice character creation and a perfect soundtrack. It just isn't my game and I had to stop playing after a short while, which is why we don't give a score here.

It effectively retains what makes the series so enjoyable - including a terrific atmosphere, terrifying opponents, challenging gameplay, and twisted puzzles - while also being dramatically harder than the first two entries.
