Announced in May, Yomawari: Lost in the Dark now has an October 25 release date. The upcoming horror game from developer Nippon Ichi Software and publisher NIS America is the latest in the horror series.

The official premise for the game is as follows: “A young girl awakens in a dark, unfamiliar forest with no recollection of how she got there. As she searches for the way out, she crosses paths with a mysterious individual who reveals to her that she’s been cursed. In order to break the curse, she needs to explore the streets of her town at night to seek out her lost memories. However, malevolent ghosts lurk within the shadows, and the girl must avoid them by running, hiding, and shutting her eyes if she hopes to survive long enough to break her curse.”
