Over 300 unique Yokai inhabit the Land of the Ancients. Through the combined efforts of humans and the Divine Jade Tree they worship, humanity and these creatures became close companions. It is also during this time where the profession of Yokai Keeper emerged. On your journey across the Land to become a Yokai Keeper you will traverse through uncharted lands, encounter many never-before seen Yokai, oversee and expand your village, and form new friendships. Yet, a looming evil is spreading, and many Yokai are succumbing to its corruption. The peaceful lives at home of the Yokai are in jeopardy(Storyline via IGDB)
