❤ Exploration and Investigation

You freely roam the faithfully recreated streets of Kamurocho, with its various shops, restaurants, and establishments to explore. As a private detective, you take on side cases from citizens, investigating crimes and mysteries through a variety of means: - Searching crime scenes to uncover clues and evidence - Interrogating suspects and witnesses to extract information - Tailing targets while avoiding detection - Participating in quick-time events during intense chase sequences These investigative gameplay segments drive the engaging story forward as you uncover the truth behind a series of grisly murders.

❤ Combat

The real-time brawling action retains the weight and impact that the developer's previous games are known for. You have access to two distinct fighting styles - Crane and Tiger. The Crane style excels at taking on multiple enemies simultaneously, with a focus on evasive and crowd control techniques. The Tiger style, on the other hand, is optimized for one-on-one encounters, emphasizing powerful strikes and grappling moves. You can freely switch between these two styles during combat, allowing for a varied and dynamic approach to fights. The environment also provides ample opportunities for improvisation, as you can pick up and use objects like bicycles, traffic cones, and baseball bats as makeshift weapons. Successful attacks and combos build up your special heat gauge, which can then be expended to perform devastating special moves and finishers. The combat consistently delivers a thrilling and authentic experience, with animations and sound design that make each blow feel satisfying.

❤ Progression and Upgrades

As you investigate cases and defeat enemies, you earn experience points that can be used to unlock new combat abilities and upgrades. These include expanding your move set, increasing your damage output, and granting you new special abilities. The game also features a friendship system, where you can befriend various NPCs around Kamurocho. Increasing these friendships unlocks additional benefits, such as access to new shops, minigames, and even having allies join you in combat.
