Episode 35: Nioh

John welcomes University of California, Davis professor Michael Dylan Foster to discuss Team Ninja’s Nioh, a complex action game that takes liberties with interpretations of Japanese folklore. As Michael explains, this is nothing new: the concept of yokai more broadly is relatively modern, and reinterpreting existing traditional tales is very much in line with how these tales have evolved over the centuries.
