The Night Way Home tells about the adventures of Rina. This is the name of a Japanese high school student. One day she learns that a girl from a neighboring educational institution has gone missing. In the toilet, the protagonist met a schoolgirl who talked about another reality and the creepy creatures that live in it. Soon after receiving this information, the heroine herself disappeared from her world. Returning from class, she accidentally found herself in a very dark parallel dimension. Now she has to find her way home. The story takes approximately 2 to 4 hours to complete. The story is presented in the spirit of visual novels.

This is an indie horror with the atmosphere of a psychological thriller. The Night Way Home has the ability to switch between first and third person views. It also allows you to optionally enable or disable the VHS filter, which distorts the image and creates the effect of an old film on the screen. You can also save your game progress here. To do this, you need to find a public pay phone at the location. If the heroine dies, you will need to load the last save. The girl wanders through empty city streets at night and sometimes finds herself indoors. The locations here are quite large. The main character is being pursued by a monster that spawns in random places and makes very loud, unpleasant sounds. You can briefly drive it away with the light of a flashlight.
