  • Shigeru Mizuki's Yokai Photo Album
rdfs:comment
  • The player is a curious pupil of Mizuki's yokai hunting class. The game basically consists of the protagonist investigating local residents for yokai sightings and pinpointing the spirits' locations. Ideally, the main goal of these hunts is to snap solid photographic evidence of these creatures with a mysterious camera named Ungai. Should they ever get into a fight with a ghost or monster, the player has to rely on their camera -as well as their wits with folklore- to save themselves. According to Mizuki, the method of finding these spirits in the game closely resembles the same process in real life.

According to Mizuki, the method of finding these spirits in the game closely resembles the same process in real life. It became a cult hit in Japan due to the game's use of real locations. The gaming magazine, Famitsu, also promoted the game by participating in the game's ghost hunts (both in the game and in real life). The staff's story was chronicled in a humorous web comic.
