A young boy with a troubled home life becomes "chosen," and he stumbles into the middle of a great war of yōkai (a class of mythological creatures), where he meets a group of friendly yōkai who become his companions through his journey. Now he must fight to protect his friends and free the world of the yōkai from oppression. The yōkai originate in Japanese folklore and range from the cute and silly to the disturbing.

VIBE

A vibrant, chaotic explosion of Japanese folklore brought to life with wild practical effects. It's a dizzying, creature-filled adventure that feels like a fever dream festival, blending silliness with genuine stakes for a unique, unforgettable ride.
