You inherit a residential building after losing your last remaining relative, leaving you all alone in the world.
Yokai is a Japanese word broadly used to describe monsters, demons, ghosts, and other evil creatures.
Interestingly, these evil entities can disguise themselves in human form, making them easy to miss.
Moreover, they are incredibly powerful and often seek to hurt humans in various ways.
The Yokai will kill your human residents if they turn into monsters on the night of the new moon.
As such, you must identify and evict them before that happens.
Moreover, you must avoid mistaking real humans for Yokai.
Dialoguing with your tenants is the main aspect of the games gameplay.
As the landlord, the tenants will regularly approach you with requests or complaints.
Moreover, some of the chattier residents will often venture to strike up random conversations with you.
The conversations can be about anything, and they could be important or pointless.

Notably, every word and action matters.
As such, you must be keen throughout.
Notably, the Yokais human disguise profiles are meticulous.
However, there may be discrepancies in their details.

It will be published by Shadow Glove and Fine Co., Ltd. when it is ready.
The first scene in the video showcases the mysterious stranger informing you about the Yokai hiding among your tenants.
