We understand that not everyone may be familiar with who or what these creatures are, so we've decided to provide some insight. Yokai are fascinating beings [b]deeply rooted in Japanese folklore[/b] and mythology. They encompass a wide range of supernatural creatures, from mischievous spirits to powerful entities. Yokai can be seen as a collective term for a wide range of beings, including spirits, monsters, demons, and ghosts. Each of them has its unique characteristics and origins, making them a captivating part of the world. When it comes to categorizing Yokai, [b]there are several ways to go about it[/b]. One common approach is based on their characteristics and behavior (e.g. Oni, Kappa, Yurei…). However, we don't want to spoil their exact role in the game's storyline. Rest assured, though, that [b]you will come across Yokai on more than one occasion[/b]. Their presence will add an extra layer of mystery and excitement to your path in the game.
