Amazing work. Can't wait to try it

Finished it. Brilliant game. Loved everything about it. The gameplay loop is awesome and left me wanting more. The artstyle is incredible and the game has lots of charm to it. The music is fantastic. Especially that first area. The mini games are super addictive and its very cool to see Shenmue 3 mini games incorperated into this fan project.

Everyone needs to try this, especially those that grew up in the tamagotchi era, which im assuming is 99% of us lol. Super nostalgic.

A lovely and heart filled addition to the shenmue fan game collection.

Incredible work.
