As in Stardew Valley, crafting, agriculture and cooking will play a big role in Yokai Inn.
Most of the game is the work of a single developer. Although the finished product of Shiba Pixels is still in far away, but in an interview with the website Gamerant, the developer gave an insight. We summarize for you, What you definitely know.

Characters, quests, fights and more
In the interview with the page Gamerant, the developer describes the game as a mixture of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon with a hint of Open World Adventure. There, not only crafting, agriculture and Co., but also there are also numerous cosmetic categories such as masks, various hairstyles and outfits in the future.
Also in Yokai Inn it is also about interpersonal relationships. There should be at least a dozen characters with which their deep friendships can close, next to the loose friendships that builds you with the Yokai companions. However, Kazuya and Satoshi play an important role for you.
Kazuya is the chef of the inn and acts as a mentor for you. According to the developer, he is a stricter, but quite fair teacher and always wants to offer the best service in the inn. Satoshi is an Otter and a new recruit for the evening guard, a group patrolled in the city to protect the residents from evil Yokai.
Since the developer can be inspired by games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, Yokai Inn should give a healthy mix of an action and an open world. It should give events and festivals you can prepare, but also an open progress system similar to Animal Crossing.
Yokai Inn should play during the Taisho era. A time in which Japan began to accept and integrate Western influences. Ghibli films such as Chihiros Journey into the magic, Princess Mononoke and other films have additionally inspired him.
When will the game appear?
So far, the developer still works at the art style and the refinement of the game design. As soon as he is satisfied with the stand, an estimated publication date is called - maybe there is even a beta phase. The shop pages, such as Steam, are opened at about the same time.
