The game was supposed to be about encountering great figures from all over Japan, but Akio suggested it would be more entertaining if it was about yokai (monsters) instead. “And so, this game began as a Japanese-style fantasy RPG in which a wooden doll that contains the soul of a girl who dreams of becoming an onmyoji travels the Japanese archipelago, sealing monsters and making them friends to reform the world,” they explained.
“However, midway through development, talk of the GPS unit fell through, and the crucial core element of walking around the country and meeting yokai became impossible to realise. The survival of the game itself was in jeopardy, but development continued after modifying it so that it could be played without GPS linkage, and it was completed, but due to various circumstances, Navinosuke was ultimately shelved.”
Akio added: “Looking back now, if development had continued as it was, a game that ‘turns walking into a game’ might have taken shape 15 years earlier than Pokémon GO. Of course, there is no way our creepy monsters could ever have become beloved characters like Pokémon.”
