When confronted with hostile enemies, players can utilize Ryo's Hazuki-style jujitsu techniques, performing a variety of kicks, punches, throws, and counters inspired by the Virtua Fighter series. Mastering the different moves and combos is an integral part of the gameplay experience.

❤ Mundane Everyday Activities

In addition to investigation and combat, the games feature a significant amount of mundane everyday activities players can engage in, such as working part-time jobs, playing arcade games, going shopping, and simply wandering the streets. While some may find these activities tedious, they contribute to the sense of realism and immersion in the game world.

❤ Progression and Customization

As players explore the world and participate in various activities, they can level up Ryo's stats and learn new jujitsu techniques, allowing them to tailor his abilities to their preferred playstyle and adding a sense of RPG-like depth to the gameplay.

❤ Quick Time Events

The games incorporate Quick Time Events (QTEs), which require players to press specific buttons or perform actions in a timely manner during certain cutscenes and encounters. While these QTEs can be challenging and frustrating, they also contribute to the cinematic, interactive nature of the experience.
