Yomawari: Lost in the Dark knows how to tell a story while scaring you out of your seat, especially when you're encountering heads of dolls with eyes that are sure to bulge out. Surprisingly, despite its creepy nature, the game didn't shy away from having an aesthetically pleasing style. It also places heavy emphasis on certain ghosts present in Japanese myth, which you may be able to recognize in folktales.

Having finished the game, there must be a lot of questions in your mind, since it's not a clean-cut ending. It also doesn't help that many parts of the story don't have explanations, which opens a pandora's box of questions in your head long after the game's end. Not to fret, because you're not alone, and you might find all of these questions relatable up to the very end.

10 Who Wanted To Know About The School's Seven Treasures?

In paper messages that you find in random places at the school, you read about the interaction with a spirit and a person who is curious to know about the school's "Seven Treasures". By the end of the interaction, there's a scary scribble of "I'm sorry" written over and over again before a spirit appears in front of you. This spirit disorients you and teleports you to different places in the school, and you'll have to close your eyes to avoid the spirits around you.

Whoever decided to contact the spirit to know about the school's "Seven Treasures" is still unknown, but it's somewhat hinted that it's the reason why Yuzu and (former) friends decided to visit the school at night.

9 What Would Happen If You Played With Hanako?

The famous Japanese restroom ghost appeared in the story. Legend says that Hanako is a ghost that haunts the girls' toilet, and the reasons for this vary. Some say she was brutally murdered by her own parents; others claim that she was a victim of an air raid while playing hide-and-seek. But the game diverges from the myth, because instead of haunting the third floor bathroom, Hanako in this rendition haunts the second floor bathroom of the school.

The game was strict in saying that you shouldn't play with Hanako and must refuse her. But you probably can't help but wonder what would happen if you said yes to her, since she was pushy about playing the game, which is also a point of curiosity. But curiosity does kill the cat, so maybe it's best that this is left unanswered.

8 Why Were The Scarecrows Moving On Their Own?

One of the strange phenomena that happened in some part of the game were scarecrows moving around the farm area whenever you placed one in the hole of a shrine. These scarecrows also seemed to offer protection against the ghosts of floating baby heads. There aren't a lot of things that make sense in this game, but the creepy way the scarecrows appear after putting one on the shrine can be a serious cause for a jumpscare.

You might wonder if these scarecrows are friends or foes since they look like they're ganging up on you. But since they haven't tried attacking you, it's clear that they're not foes. It doesn't explain why they keep stalking around you, though.

7 Why Were There Spirits Of Babies Trying To Crush You?

Going through the door that led to this maze, you probably didn't expect a ton of baby spirits to try to crush you and show you a cursed image of babies that look mushed-up together beyond recognition. It also doesn't help that there was crying in the background, and crawling babies on the bridge. But you're probably asking, why was this even happening in the first place, and how is this relevant to the story?

Later down the line, you'll realize that there wasn't much of a point. But it does a good job of giving you a surreal and haunting image to look back at.

6 What Was The Point Of Fulfilling The Wishes Of Spirits?

Another thing that adds a dash of humor to this game is the fact that some ghosts pop out of their graves and go in peace if you toss coins in their graves. It reaches its peak when you see a ghost begging for coins blocking your way. You're probably asking why again because, if anything, all it did was help clear certain obstacles. There were even some that were asking for water and flowers.

But do spirits need money in this game's world? Because there were a lot who were asking for it.

5 Does The Curse Have Anything To Do With Seeing So Many Ghosts?

By default, the town seems haunted. Yuzu would also say occasionally that she might become a ghost once the curse takes hold of her. But this doesn't explain why Yuzu is capable of seeing ghosts and faked memories that nobody else seems to see. In a flashback with her classmates, Yuzu points at Mugi and a girl who jumped off the school's rooftop. This made her schoolmates taunt her instead for being haunted by spirits, which may be associated with the curse.

But what doesn't make sense is why it grants the ability to see the paranormal. Was it because she was a step closer to death? We wouldn't know, but we wish there were more explanations for this.

4 Why Did The God Curse Yuzu For The Bells?

The God seems to be obsessed with the fulfillment of a promise made with Yuzu, but the bigger question is why was Yuzu cursed by the God for not returning the bells in the first place.

There isn't much explanation in this part, but what can be inferred is that the bells were important to the God's identity. The return of the bells also implied that they wouldn't be haunting the town anymore, nor would they be bothering Yuzu. It also isn't clear who this god is, and what their identity is.

3 What Does The Curse Have To Do With Mugi?

Kotori said multiple times that Mugi is the key to breaking the curse, specifically that the bell around Mugi's neck needs to be returned to the God. But what's more mysterious about this ordeal is that we don't know how Mugi ended up having the bell around her collar.

But it is essential for you to remember the truth that you've been avoiding and promised to keep, which may be a plausible reason as to why the bell attached itself to Mugi (or the memory of Mugi, in this case).

2 How Did Mugi Die?

Thankfully, there was no graphic depiction that showed how Yuzu's cat died. But it doesn't escape us to wonder how Mugi ended up in such a state since even memories lie to Yuzu. But the next time we find Mugi, she's on the floor with Yuzu crying at the side. There were no signs of bleeding, and for the untrained eye, Mugi looks like she was sleeping. But for the cat owners here, you would know that cats usually curl up when asleep.

All we know is that Mugi was found dead by Yuzu, and then Kotori comes to comfort her. But there is no explanation for Mugi's death, or if Yuzu even witnessed her death firsthand to the point of wanting to forget about this memory.

1 Who Is Kotori?

Kotori remains to be the most mysterious character in this game, with her being coined as "the girl in your memories" up until her name was revealed in the end. But in an even more shocking twist, she disappears after ushering you back to the school rooftop of your town, vanishing without a trace. This isn't so surprising, since Kotori is a very mysterious figure herself.

Beyond the memories we were presented by Yuzu, there isn't a lot of discussion about Kotori as an individual, about who she was, and where she came from. Even up until the end, we're unsure of who she really was to Yuzu and why she was so friendly towards her. All we know about her is that she seems to be a helpful person, and that she was cursed much like us. But as to why she was cursed, that's also a point of mystery in the game that was never solved.
