Description
A highschool gang leader Ringo Ishikawa trying to live through his last autumn before graduation. With his best friends.

You should play it if:

1) You're fond of good stories with strong dialogues (especially about growing up)
2) You're a fight games enthusiast (you'll get your hands on some unique brawl mechanic and I promise you'll be satisfied)
3) You're into some yakuza-delinquent aesthetics

Basically, the game is an existential open world beat'em up with some school sim elements. It has a little of everything: a town to explore, day-night cycle, npc on their schedule, battle grinding, school grinding, mini-games (ping-pong, billiard, video-poker, video-game console with one game...) and so on.

But the main thing is the story I'm trying to tell. And I designed the game to make you feel this story. So it's not about rival gangs, or taking over turfs, or anything. You just live there and feel. And that's all.

Very basic, buggy engine

So, started off with graphical issues, window cuttooff half way. After fixing that and starting to play, its clear the game is very basic. Graphics are pretty average for pixel art. The UI however it a real pain, I mean you have to hold Esc to exit the application! Its just really not professional. As for the game itself, if your expecting fast side scrolling beat em up action, you wont find it here. Its slow, very slow. Combat is painful as you can't tell what is happening most of the time, and frankly there is very little to it anyways. Punch, and (control issue!) to jump you press X and Y. I mean who thought that up! Frankly the game is very unpolished, basic, and painful to play. As a disclamer, I only got through around 20mins of it before giving up in total disbelief that this was released as a full product.
