HOME OF THE YOKAI Ethereal Fantasy-Adventure RPG Announced by Rayka Studio

Developer Rayka Studio proudly announces Home of The Yokai – a beautiful Eastern fantasy-adventure RPG featuring an expansive semi-open world coming to Steam soon. Explore a vast spiritual land as you collect creature companions, build a village to call home, and expel demons in exhilarating auto-battling combat.

In Home of The Yokai, humans and mystical creatures known as Yokai live in close harmony in The Land of The Ancients – a realm overseen by the Divine Jade Tree. Peace has been shattered by a gloom-ridden force that’s corrupted the Yokai, turning them into feral shadows of their former selves. It’s up to you to purify the Land, Yokai, and Divine Tree as you venture on a journey to become a Yokai Keeper.
