    Plot twist: Linfamy is actually a Yokai. He is the weirdest of the bunch, but also the most entertaining and sweetest of the bunch. Every week he hunts TH-cam and posts a video that provides us knowledge about Japanese History , folktales and other related themes. He is an educated yokai, not a creeper or violent yokai. He sometimes offers key-chains and other prizes for those who answer his riddles and questions correctly.

    The yokai that makes invisible walls is actually the world barriers made to keep players from going out of bounds, but unfortunately the players found a glitch where you just need to hit a stick next to the wall to clip through it, I hope the devs fix it though.
