Zokai is a monster collecting game with a retro aesthetic. Zokai is also the name of the creatures which are collected in the game. "Zokai" stands for "Zoological Yokai", which means that they're natural, living creatures, but they also have amazing supernatural powers. In the Zokai world, humans have lived alongside Zokai since the Stone Age. Humans use special crystals called Zokai Crystals to catch Zokai. These crystals create a telepathic link between a Zokai and their Keeper. Wild Zokai are often dangerous creatures, and humans rely on their Zokai partners to keep them safe.
