Child Spirits are Spirits in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

The Child Spirit takes the form of a black scribble of a small child with red eyes and a red mouth.

## Behavior

The Child Spirit usually remains in one spot. However, if a human gets too close to it, there is a chance that it will move and attack a person from behind. But, it cannot move from its spot if it is exposed to light. In addition, while it is exposed to light, it is safe for people to touch this Spirit without being killed.

This spirit is invisible in the dark, so it is required to use a lit match or a flashlight to expose it and keep it still.

## Mythology and Theories

The Child Spirits are mostly found in the abandoned factory that Mr. Yomawari brings the Protagonist to. It is speculated that the Child Spirits are the restless or resentful spirits of children who were kidnapped by Mr. Yomawari and then killed in the Factory by Meat (the monstrous form of Mr. Yomawari). According to the in-game's legend of Mr. Yomawari, the Spirit(s) kidnap the children because they are naughty for wandering outside in the middle of the night. It's seems Mr. Yomawari(s) killed the children as Meat because they see these children as naughty.

You can find Collectible Items belonging to the kidnapped children in the Factory. Among them is a Piece of Cloth, which is a ripped piece of cloth with an anime character on it. It is believed that it belonged to the shirt of one of the children who died and became a Child Spirit. Other Collectible Items like the Diary with Lock, Kid's Sandal, and the Picture Book most likely belonged to some of the Child Spirits when they were alive.

However, some can be found in other places like in some parts of Town or in School. They may be regular children who died with malice or with regret, and then become Child Spirits.

An interesting belief behind the reason why they are invisible in the dark and don't move when they are exposed to the light is that fact that it is like they are playing traditional children games like "hide-and-seek", "Red Light, Green Light", and "Daruma Doll Fell Down". The Child Spirits hide in the dark, and don't move when they are spotted by someone with a light. But if you cannot see them, they will attack you when you get too close. The actions of these Spirits mirror the rules of the three games. For "hide-and-seek", the Spirits hide from the Protagonist in the dark. In "Red Light, Green Light", the Spirits will move to attack the Protagonist when she cannot see the Spirits (Green Light), but the Spirits will freeze in place when the Protagonist can see them (Red Light). And in "Daruma Doll Fell Down", similar to how "Red Light, Green Light" works, the Spirits move only when the Protagonist cannot see them, but they will stop when she can look at them.
Flashlight

"A flashlight you can charge. You can turn it on and off with XXX. You can point the flashlight with XXX."
(Midnight Shadows)

> *"In this dark and eerie town, many things cannot be identified without a little light... If you find something interesting, shine the **flashlight** on it to check it out."*
>
>

The flashlight is both a game mechanic as well as a key Item in Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Location

The Protagonist can acquire the flashlight as part of the tutorial at the beginning of Chapter 1, where her Sis disappears and drops it at the entrance of a Vacant Lot at the edge of Town. The younger sister ended up picking it up and using it throughout the game.

## Uses and Flashlight Mechanic

The flashlight is a vital function in the Yomawari series. The flashlight is used to spot Items hidden in the dark, which will appear as sparkling light in the flashlight's radiance. It is also used to expose hidden Spirits that hide in the dark.

It also used to help identify environmental objects that can be interacted. When the flashlight shines something that can be interacted, Item or other, a "?" will appear above the player's head. If the player is right next to that said interact-able object while it is shined by the flashlight, a "!" will appear above the player's head and the player can interact with it.

The flashlight later comes with a dangerous setback and a useful addition. The flashlight attracts Stone Faces towards the Protagonist, causing them to try to kill her. As a result, it is required to either point the flashlight away from these Spirits or turn it off. However, this will leave the player blind to hidden Items and Spirits in the dark. On the other hand, the flashlight is needed to help keep Child Spirits still in order to sneak past them, as they cannot move in the light.
Reflection Spirit

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Reflection Spirit

### Rarity

Rare

The Reflection Spirit is an unusual Spirit from Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Appearance

This Spirit has a small black silhouette body, with wavy lines for its hands and feet.

It has a head that resembles something like a white shell or a white stone. It appears to have a smile with teeth that has been painted on its head with blue paint.

## Behavior

The Reflection Spirit has a unique way of moving around, in contrast to most normal Spirits. This one moves by imitating the movements of Haru, mirroring her like it is her reflection. It will continue to imitate Haru's movements until the girl is outside its field of vision.

It doesn't harm Haru directly. Instead, by imitating her movements, this spirit actively tries to block Haru's path. This makes in annoying when exploring, and makes it troublesome when running from a hostile spirit.

If you encounter this Spirit, it is best to move away from it until it is outside Haru's vision (in other words, outside the view of the screen). Once it is outside Haru's vision, this Spirit will disappear.

Alternatively, you can manipulate this Spirit's movement so that it will hit a wall. When that happens, it will not move, hence, it will not be able to block Haru's path. However, if Haru were to walk into this Spirit, it will begin mirroring Haru's movements again.

There is also a chance for Haru to encounter a Reflection Spirit that won't copy Haru's movements. This version of Spirit will only start mirroring Haru's movement when Haru walks into it.
Human Bone

The Human Bone is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location

The Human Bone is accessible once the Protagonist witnesses the Headless Horse at the dead end of a certain highway in Town, near the northeast Vacant Lot (which is mark on the Map with a red cross). It is pretty much trigger its event. After witnessing the Headless Horse for the first time, the Protagonist must head to the road that starts from the northeast Vacant Lot and then follow it to the Tunnel. She will eventually see the Headless Horse again. Follow it, and she'll see the Spirit disappear into the trees and leave the collectible Item

Ball Chaser

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Ball Chaser

### Rarity

Unique

Ball Chaser is a unique Spirit from Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. It is a strange humanoid spirit that randomly appears in a small park in the Second Town, chasing after a ball.

## Appearance

The Ball Chaser appears as a white humanoid spirit without any clothes.

Its height and size is similar to Haru, but its body is slightly bulgy or chubby. Its eyes appear completely black, because it doesn't have any eyes.

Its scalp has a few short, black hair strands growing on it.

## Behavior

It randomly spawns in a small park in the Second Town, acting as one of the random events that can trigger there. When active, if Haru is trying to pass by the entrance to the small park, a large yellow ball will suddenly appear out of thin air and bounce out of the entrance & across the street. The Ball Chaser will then appear soon after that, chasing after the large bouncing ball.

Once the ball crosses the street, it will disappear. And when this Spirit also crosses the street, it disappears as well.

## Mythology and Theories

The way he chases after something that looks like a rubber ball and how it disappear after crossing the street suggests that it was a child. While he was chasing after his toy as a human, he was run over by a car. Thus, he turned into this spirit.

Red Arm Spirit

> *"A large spirit with many arms and eyes. When it sees a girl nearby, it will swing its arms at her"*
>
>

Red Arm Spirit is a Spirit in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Appearance

This huge Spirit takes the appearance of a black bulky humanoid. It has six tentacle-like arms, with the arms turning red halfway through. The legs are also like that as well, with the feet area turning red. However, the feet area are in the form of stumps, lacking any resemble of human-like feet or toes. It has five eyes on the front of its body and three others on the back. These eyes have white scleras, brown irises, and black pupils, as well as faint red veins at the edge of its eyes.

## Behavior

It walks along a predefined path, pausing at the end of its path for a moment before turning around and going the other way.

There are two types of these Spirits.

The first-type simply walks back and forth in a fixed path.

The strategy to avoid this type is to simply sneak behind them when they pass by the girls, and then go the opposite way from where the Spirit is going to. If you need to go to the direction of where this Spirit is going to, you need to wait in a blind spot from the Spirit's path and wait for the Spirit to pass by again in the opposite direction from where you are going, enabling the girls to sneak into the other way.

It may seem simple to maneuver around, but it can still kill you by catching you off guard. Since it is invisible in the dark, you can run into it by accident if you are not careful. It is recommended to be careful around narrow paths, as these large invisible spirits are usually patrolling there.

The second-type is trickier.

Just like the first-type, it patrols a path by walking back and forth. However, if this version of Spirit sees Haru, it stops moving and extends its arms towards Haru. Its arms can reach quite far, so Haru needs to run as far from it as fast as possible, or else she will killed by its arms. Some of these types may on extend its arms when it is facing certain direction(s).

## Mythology and Theories

This Spirit is most likely based after the Japanese yokai known as the Nuppeppo, a mythical creature who can be found in the literary work "Zade Hodai Mogyu".

The Nuppeppo is a blob-like yokai that has the smell of rotten meat. It sucks the fat of the dead and eats to the fullest with a 'needle'. It originally disguised itself as a human doctor in the past, but it would later just move around in its real form.

This yokai lacks any facial features, but the flabs of its fat would form a pattern that would resemble the appearance of a human face.

Its name originated from the word "Nupperi". It can mean 'to excessive apply white powder', to the point of distorting the person's face (resembling the 'face' of the Nuppeppo). It can also mean 'to feign ignorance in understanding', which refers to how this yokai had disguised as a human doctor or how its fats creates the illusion of a human face.

It is also said that eating this Spirit's meat can grant a person eternal life, but its foul smell of rotten flesh is so bad that it can knock a person unconscious.

The Blob Creature's item, "Meat", may be the meat that Nuppeppo eats or it is the meat of the Nuppeppo itself.

## Trivi

Hand Spirit

The Hand Spirits are Spirits who serve under the Mountain Spirit. They are the smaller variant of the Giant Hand Spirits.

## Appearance

Hand Spirits appear as dark shadow-like hands with a white dot as its eye. It has dark mist or flames escaping from where the wrist is. Its size is that of a small child.

## Behavior

The Hand Spirits follow the orders of the Mountain Spirit. They followed his orders in causing havoc in the Downtown area by destroying the Salt that was protecting the area.

They attack the Protagonist when she trespasses in their master's domain. Once she enters their range, they attack her by acting like hands stretching out to grab her. When they do grab her, the smaller ones probably strangle her to death.

If the girl lights the small shrine in their area, the small Hand Spirits will disappear.

## Mythology and Theories

A Hand Spirit is first witnessed at the Prologue of Yomawari: Night Alone, moving quickly behind the Protagonist and Poro while the latter two were going home after checking out the tunnel. It seemed to have moved around through the trees at the west, which expand to the trees growing above the wall that's next to the road that the Protagonist and Poro walked down to head home.

It is possible that this Spirit may have knocked the Pebble that the Protagonist saw fall from the top of the wall. Meaning, this Spirit was responsible (intentionally or accidentally) for causing the Protagonist to play fetch with Poro using that Pebble, leading to the unintentional death of Poro by a speeding truck.
Stone Face

> *"A strange stone in the shape of a human face that hides in the forest or mountains. It seems strangely attracted to light..."*
>
>

Stone Faces are Spirits in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

When in its default form, it appears as just an ordinary large lump of rocks that of a size of a small child (like the Protagonist).

However, when it is exposed to light, a puff of smoke covers the rock. Then, a mouth with jagged stone teeth and a pair of glowing yellow eyes appears on it, creating a face.

## Behavior

The Stone Faces appear as ordinary lumps of stone in the dark. They don't move nor react in a person's presence, even if someone touches them.

However, when they are exposed to light, a face appears on them and then, if exposed to the light for too long, will give chase to the source of the light.

If it is the player's flashlight, even if the player turns of the flashlight or moves it away from the Stone Faces, they will chase after the player and kill her once they are exposed to the light for too long.

If it is a Match's light, they will run right next to the Match. They will remain active until the Match's light goes out, in which the Stone Faces turn back to regular lumps of stone.

However, if the Stone Faces are exposed by the player's flashlight while chasing after the Match's light, they will chase after and kill the player if they're exposed to the flashlight's light for too long.

## Mythology and Theories

There are some possible inspirations for the creation of this spirit.

One of them is "Sessho-seki" (殺生石), which means "Killing Stone" in Japanese. In Japanese mythology, this stone would kill anyone that would come into contact with it. In legends, it is believed that this stone is the transformed corpse of Tamamo-no-Mae. She appeared to be a beautiful woman, but in reality, she was a nine-tailed fox that had been working for an evil daimyō who plotted to kill Emperor Konoe and take his throne. According to the Otogi-Zōshi (a narrative literature written between the Muromachi period and the beginning of the Edo period), when the nine-tailed fox was killed by a famous warrior named Miura-no-suke, its body transformed into the Sessho-seki.

Tamamo-no-Mae would continue to haunt in this stone and kill people who touched it until, one day, a Buddhist priest named Genno stopped by. When this priest rested near this rock, Tamamo-no-Mae threatened him. Genno, in turn, performed some spiritual rituals and begged the spirit to consider her spiritual salvation. He did this until Tamamo-no-Mae finally relented and swore never to haunt this stone again.

Another possible inspiration for this spirit is the "Ishikani" (石カニ) or the "Stone Crab". This yokai has different alliterations. One of them is a pickling stone with a human-like face on it and several fingers for its legs. This human-like face consist of just a mouth, a pair of human-like eyes, and lining that make up a forehead.

> *"The heroine's sister that took off into the night to look for their dog. She never came back home, and her whereabouts are unknown."*
>
>

She has dark brown hair and like the other characters her eyes are 2 simple black strokes. She wears a school uniform just like her sister.

## Plot

### Prehistory

Sis lives with her sister, the Protagonist, and her dog, Poro.

In the game, it is never mentioned about what happened to her parents and where were they. However, in the novel adaptation for the first game, it is mentioned that her mother died when her younger sister was too young to remember.

### Speculated Prehistory

Based on the Crayon Notes and the Worn-Out Crayons, it is possible that Sis went out at night to look for her missing mother.

### Chapter 1: Twilight

Sis was waiting for her sister and Poro to return home from their walk. When the Protagonist finally got home, the sky had started to fall into night time. She finds her sister then questions why her sister only has an empty leash and the whereabouts of Poro. But the Protagonist fell silent. Upon believing that Poro had run away, Sis went out to look for the dog. However, after they separated, the sister had a run-in with Spirits. She tries to escape from them and ended up in the Vacant Lot. Then, she finds that her sister had followed her here. Worried about her sister's safety, Sis had the girl hide in the bush and tells her not to open her eyes. During the moment, Sis gets kidnapped by Mr. Yomawari, but the Spirit didn't see the other sister hiding in the bush and left with Sis.

### In-between the Events

It is unknown what happened between Chapter 1 and Chapter 7. However, it seems Mr. Yomawari (with Sis) passed by the School because the sister's shoe was found there. She was then taken to the Factory, as her Old Charm was there too. However, the Hand Spirits took her from the Factory and she was eventually taken by them to the Mountain Spirit's temple and left unconscious there.

### Chapter 7: Dawn

Sis finds that her sister had come to save her from the Mountain Spirit. The Protagonist was able to defeat it and save her. However, in the process, the Spirit took away the girl's left eye. This causes her to lose consciousness, so Sis takes her sister home (or the hospital).

The next day, the Protagonist tells her sister about what really happened to Poro as well as everything that happened to her during the night. The girl now wears an Eyepatch over her missing left eye. The two sisters visited Poro's grave, in the Woods, and left the dog some flowers. The two then returned home. From then, Sis remains home at night as her sister decides to sometimes explore the Town at night to collect Items.
