About the Game

Learn about the world of Yo-kai Watch, including the protagonists Nate and Katie, the Yokai Whisper, and the core gameplay loop of befriending and battling Yokai.

Originally released in Japan in July of 2013, Yo-kai Watch is considered by many to be Level-5’s answer to the Pokemon craze. After its success in Japan, it was finally released in North America in November of 2015. Like the previously mentioned Pokemon, Yo-kai Watch is a collect-all-monsters type role-playing game that is based on the Yokai of Japanese culture, who are said to be entities that can cause trouble and mischief in everyday life.

Welcome to the world of Yo-kai Watch! At the beginning of the game, the player gets to choose between Nate or Katie (male or female protagonist), with no gameplay differences between them. While looking for bugs for a summer project, the protagonist stumbles upon a mysterious capsule machine in the woods and upon opening one of the capsules, he/she releases a Yokai named Whisper. This Yokai gives them the titular Yokai Watch, allowing them to see the Yokai all around their town. It’s now up to them to adventure forth and befriend Yokai, battle those who are causing mischief, as well as helping out any people in need to assistance.

You play as either Nate or Katie, who while on a mission to find some bugs for a summer project, stumble upon a mysterious machine in the woods. Using it reveals a loud-mouthed Yokai named Whisper, who ends up giving you a Yokai Watch, letting him/her see the world of Yokai that surrounds them. It is now up to you to go around town, investigating mysteries, helping people out and making sure the Yokai behave themselves.
