YOMAWARI: NIGHT ALONE/MIDNIGHT SHADOWS
Games Like Little Nightmares
The Yomawari series consists of two games, Night Alone releasing in 2015 and Midnight Shadows in 2017. They are survival horror games where you play as a small girl who ventures out into the darkness with only a flashlight, some rocks, or other small items.
While in the darkness, dangerous spirits will lurk in the shadows and try to attack you. When a spirit is nearby, the girl’s heartbeat will increase indicating you are in danger. You’ll have to run to the nearest light source to escape, and try and sneak by them again once they give up.
The games revolve around this premise of sneaking around monsters, which is very similar to a lot of the gameplay in Little Nightmares as well. All these games also have a very dark and sinister tone, broken up by the cuteness of the playable characters themselves.
Yomawari: Night Alone is available for PS Vita and PC, and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is on PS Vita, PC and PS4. However, both games are coming to the Nintendo Switch as part of the Yomawari: The Long Night Collection in October 2018.
