Description

Uncover the truth. Tame the spirits. Discover your place.

Yokumo: Night Parade is a turn-based, monster-catching RPG set in the beautiful region of Aomori, Japan. You play as a young, aspiring Shaman, journeying across a world where old traditions, forgotten spirits, and strange new mysteries come together.

You’ve dreamed of joining the ranks of elite Shamans—those who form bonds with spiritual beings known as Yokumo, powerful creatures drawn from Japanese folklore. But your path takes a dark turn when your childhood friend’s father, a respected veteran Shaman, disappears after a run-in with a dangerous and secretive group. Their presence threatens not only the safety of Aomori, but the balance between the physical and spiritual realms as a whole.

As your journey unfolds, you’ll confront these shadowy forces, uncover the lost history of the land, and slowly learn where you—and your Yokumo—fit into a much larger story than originally anticipated.

Explore the Spirit-Touched Land of Aomori

Travel through over 10 towns and cities, each inspired by real-world locations, architecture, and culture. Visit shrines, trek through forests, wander through foggy mountain paths, and uncover landmarks steeped in myth. Every region has its own tale to tell—some touching, others terrifying.

You’ll meet locals who have deep connections with the Yokumo, hear their experiences, and learn what being a Shaman really means. Along the way, you can collect over 100 different Yokumo—each one inspired by Japanese myths, ghost stories, and legends (some famous, and others pretty obscure).

A New Take on Monster Battling

Forget elemental typing. Yokumo: Night Parade redefines traditional turn-based combat.

Instead of the typical “super effective” matchups, each Yokumo has unique Attributes that affect how they behave in battle—both passively and actively. Some might heal allies, trigger effects under certain conditions, or resist mental manipulation. Others may have rare, powerful traits unique only to them.

Team synergy is everything. Battles are rarely one-on-one; instead, you’ll guide parties of 3 Yokumo in strategic, turn-based encounters inspired by games like Octopath Traveler, Earthbound, and Shin Megami Tensei.

Stats That Go Beyond the Basics

In addition to familiar RPG stats like HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed, Yokumo introduces new layers:

Intelligence – Determines the strength and speed of Astral abilities.
MP – Measures both resistance to Astral attacks and your ability to cast them.
Physical vs. Astral – Yokumo generally fall into one of these two core styles, adding another dimension to combat strategy.

Between this system and the Attribute-based design, every battle is about smart planning, clever combos, and adapting to a dynamic field.

More Than Just a Game: A Cultural Experience

Yokumo: Night Parade is deeply inspired by Japanese folklore, culture, and history—not as a surface-level aesthetic, but as a living, breathing part of the experience.

Our goal is to respectfully explore Japanese mythology, real historical events, and regional legends, blending them with a modern, fantastical twist. Every Yokumo is designed as a creative retelling of a real-world Yokai or spiritual belief, even when liberties are taken for gameplay. This isn’t an encyclopedia—but a love letter to Japan’s rich storytelling traditions.

We've worked closely with people living in Japan and do deep research to portray locations, stories, and spirits with care.
