❤ Character Progression and Stat Management

You must carefully manage the protagonist's three main stats - Strength, Agility, and Stamina. Improving these stats through targeted training exercises in the gym is crucial, as they determine the fighter's offensive power, defensive capabilities, and endurance respectively. However, a unique twist is that these stats also decay over time, forcing you to balance training, earning money, eating, and resting to maintain your boxer's abilities.

❤ Combat System

The combat system revolves around selecting a set of skills and abilities for your boxer to use during matches. These include attacks, defensive maneuvers, and passive bonuses. While the actual fighting is automated, the randomized use of these skills creates an engaging strategic element. You must carefully consider which abilities to equip based on your stats, the opponent's strengths, and the flow of the fight, leading to tense, nail-biting moments as you watch your boxer attempt to secure victory.

❤ Time Management and Minigames

Effectively managing the protagonist's daily activities is a significant part of the gameplay. You must balance training, working various jobs to earn money, sleeping, and eating. Failing to properly manage your time can cause the boxer's stats to deteriorate, making future fights much more difficult. The game also features various minigames and side activities, such as a rhythm-based training minigame and opportunities to earn extra money through odd jobs or betting on fights, which help to break up the core loop and provide additional ways to customize your experience.

❤ Narrative and Branching Paths

While the gameplay is the focus, the game also features a compelling narrative centered around the protagonist's quest to uncover the truth behind his father's murder. The story features multiple branching paths and endings, depending on the choices you make throughout the game. This, combined with the different possible fighting styles and specializations, gives the game a high degree of replayability, as you can experiment with various approaches and see how the story unfolds.
