Ghost of Yote isn't just another samurai sequel—it’s shaping up to be a cultural and emotional deep dive into one of Japan’s most underrepresented histories. In this episode of techdaily.ai, we explore the folklore, setting, and historical roots behind the game’s world, characters, and spiritual themes.
- The real Mount Yote and its spiritual presence in Hokkaido

- The brutal backstory of the Ute Six and what drives Atsu’s vengeance
