Yokai’s Secret sets its story in the Country of Yamato, where yokai-girls and humans have lived peacefully for thousands of years. When the girls suddenly riot and the world loses its color, the player takes on the task of saving them and restoring the world. The premise gives the puzzle-solving a narrative purpose: progress is tied to uncovering what caused the upheaval.
The central activity is moving colored blocks to complete color-arrangement puzzles. The game connects those puzzles to revealing the truth behind the riots, rather than presenting them as an unrelated side activity. Its character-focused design features 14 yokai-girls, each described as having a distinct personality, voice, and multiple interactions. Live2D animation adds movement to the characters, making those encounters part of the game’s appeal alongside the puzzles.
Steam lists Yokai’s Secret as single-player, so its play format is an individual puzzle-and-character experience rather than a shared session. Its combination of color-block challenges, a mystery-driven premise, and animated character interactions gives the game a more specific identity than its broad Action, Casual, Indie, and RPG labels convey.
