I discovered this game recently and had no idea it existed, I have heard other games that resemble Shenmue but never seen this one mentioned.

This is the game that reminds of Shenmue the most of all so called "Shenmue-like" games.

This game did many features I thought Shenmue was the first but this game did them first.

I find it so suspicious how similar this game is to Shenmue this can't be mere coincidence right?

Here is a playthrough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W4idmxs5u8

-The player has seven days to explore the town and countryside talking to the residents in order to solve the mystery, if he fails he gets the bad ending like Shenmue.

• in-game day-night cycle

-One in game hour is around five minutes in real time.

-The game features the "tank style" movement controls

-Quick time events

• Fighting

• Main character constantly saying "I see" like Ryo.

-Full weather cycle but not based on real like like Shenmue

• The residents of the town have individual daily routines.

-Matthew can also use his mobile phone to call other characters and certain businesses in the town.

• Can give items to NPC to give you a clue or unlock a scene

• NPC dialog constantly changes depending on the day

• A girl that reminds of Nozomi that has crush on MC

• That also invite you to talk at the local park in the middle of the night via a phone call

• Main character wears a jacket and even sleeps wearing clothes like Ryo

• Boombox and picture of friends in the room, reminded me of Shenmue

• The Whole milk at the bar reminded me of Shenmue

• Similar sound effects especially at night that remind me of Shenmue

• Similar Camera when using stairs and opening doors

• Events are triggered when you enter a certain area at the right time, just like in Shenmue. Many of these events can be missed.

• You save the game in bed

• Darts! in the bar, but sadly no darts minigame.

• Pet you can pat head, instead of a kitty you have a trusty dog

• Very silly dialog like in Shenmue!

• There is a notebook that was supposed to be used similar way to Shenmue, but there was not enough time to implement it, this was explained in the interview, I posted the link below.

Things that it has and shenmue lacked in the first 2 games:

• Functional bathroom

• Can Drive a car that needs gasoline

• Can buy and eat food

• Sense of familiarity almost everyone knows you in the town.

• Exploring rooms objects to find clues

• Picking up boxes to reach high places. Of course many games do this but it felt like I was doing it on Shenmue.

This game is flawed through and Shenmue is multiple times more polished game.

Since this game had lower budget, was developed on the limited PS1 hardware and only had 1 year of development, yet it was so impressive how much they managed to do in only 1 year.

Missing events is the biggest flaw of this game since missing some events can destroy your entire progression. So if you don't have a save file before missing this event, your entire progression till this point is ruined and you going to get the bad ending.

I am glad shenmue had more freedom in this and was not as ruthless.

Here is an interview of the main creator of this game

Ive seen netizens in china been joking that the author SoulLand - TangjiaSanshao: who had an influence on getting ReverendInsanity banned is more like FangYuan than the Ri author because

Sanshao is willing to sacrifice his family for his work, not even caring when his wife died (Dead Wife

Demon Venerable) just like FangYuan

While guzhenren deeply cares for his family well being despite having written FangYuan

TangjiaSanshao might aswell just be fangyuan reincarnated to get his own story banned, virtually obtaining eternal life and not get his life story spread

Game: Racing Lagoon

As you can see from the picture the car in the distance loses it's wheels and is floating when it's on a distance.

Is there is any setting that can help me avoid this issue?

I searched on google and AI gave me some suggestions, I try them all and still same issue.

I think one of the buildings is also missing bottom part.

No idea if this is an emulator or game issue?

This game is based on Kowloon walled city and is very interesting. The game came in Playstation.

It has Chinese horror and time traveling theme.

Some of the people that worked on this game ended up working for Quintet company

Who later collaborated to make Shenmue

The game is in Japanese and these is no English translator but you can use Retroarch to translate the text.

Can you imagine a Shenmue VR game in Kowloon? This is the closest you can get.

I learned about this game from this video that mentions Shenmue at 1:17:12

Due to cooperation of this company with Shenmue games.

Comment: Fully uncensored. But only 1 chapter, most likely is a short Chinese version similar to the short sakura country doujin
