As you progress further up the levels of the hospital, more of these hostile spirits are introduced.
There are also a few different sorts of hostile spirits which each have their own unique patterns and behaviors. The gameplay is simple the objective is to find each of the friendly spirits and help them with whatever task they need, which most of the time amounts to fetching an item and bringing it back. The hospital environments are also very well realized, each floor having its own layout and theme. The drawings and journals you pick up paint a depressing picture of the children that had to suffer through various trauma, and the enemy designs find that perfect balance. Last Light takes a cutesy and in some places intentionally childish form and warps it into the disturbing. Something that immediately grabbed me is the art style, finding that sweet spot Yomawari inhabits between cute and horrific. Kids drawing monsters is always a spooky time Along the way, Lumi encounters several spirits with their own plights and can collect some harrowing journals throughout the hospital. Alone, scared, and faced with the abandoned hospital her friends should be at, she heads inside and into a nightmare. A young girl who, whilst headed to a location for a ‘scare game’ (a common trope over in Japan, where usually children head to a scary location as a form of a bravery challenge), loses her friends.

Last Light begins with a short series of hand-drawn images introducing us to our protagonist, Lumi.
Last Light wears its inspiration proudly and builds something of its own with a morbid tale of bullying and revenge, along with a heavy emphasis on memory and repetition. And from even just seeing screenshots I could tell Last Light was what I’d been waiting for, a game that takes influence from the incredible Yomawari series. The world of indie horror games is saturated with Silent Hill inspiration, but there are other games that hit such a special note that can really shake up the genre. I stumbled across Last Light entirely by accident, and I was hooked from the first piece of art I saw of it.
