Play as Kitsedo, a child fox who learns the way of the ninja to dive into shadows and tight spaces, coming out only to advance and inflict harm on the yo-kai menaces that have invaded his village to spread sorrow.  When the yo-kai army attacks, it is the player’s job to unravel the mystery of their origins while freeing affected areas of the village, avoiding getting caught at all costs. Throughout, they will talk to villagers and family members, who will give hints at the root cause of the yo-kai, that being the villagers’ undying love and willpower that threatened the planet.
