Don't be fooled by the cute looking art style and innocent leading characters. This game is a terrifying experience full of twisted imagery and haunting scenarios. Still, it's utterly engaging to play, and the frights will keep you coming back thanks to their unique presentation and individual art style.

The Switch offers you the Yomawari Long Night Collection, which bundles two games together - Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. So, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this one.

Both of the games see you take control of a young girl in a nightmarish location filled to the brim with ghoulish spirits and monsters. In the first title, you play as a protagonist who's on a mission to recover her dog Poro and her elder sister.

In the second, you control both Yui and Haru and switch between them, with your actions as either character impacting the other's experience.

The games are both elementary - as you simply avoid monsters and explore the area - but feel full of heartache and emotion as you power through the fear to reunite loved ones and find normality. The gameplay makes you feel as powerless as a little girl would be in this scenario, but you won't be able to put it down until you've completed your goals.
