The Shrine of Yokai

This Master’s thesis aims to explore the world of supernatural entities known as yokai in the context of Japanese mythology and Shinto religion. The practical part of the project involves the creation of a fictional digital space in Unreal Engine 5, inspired by the aesthetics and atmosphere of Shinto shrines and Japanese nature. This interactive experience brings together several 3D models of mythological characters and introduces their legends using basic gameplay mechanics.
