yakuza characters playing mahjong in an underground casino minutes before kiryu bursts through the door covered in blood and caves their skulls in
Pretty great environmental storytelling. Almost like an interactive 5 minute short film. Frustrating that my great checkers set-up got ruined. I was well on my way to one last W.
You really get what the game's trying to convey in a visceral, yet comforting way.
...glad they came for us because I was gonna lose that game
Less then 5 minutes, the less you know the better. Even the game's synopsis, while appropriately unspecific, stays a little too much. Just go play it!
Here's an actual "review"
A really beautiful portrait of unspecified location and event, with a great atmosphere and a familiar game... I love how the pieces getting jumbled helps to underline three of the themes: "We're together, and that's most important." "We can't change our outcome, and that's okay." "Winning isn't the point, sharing this moment is."
And all this with singular line b/w checkers and room... Wow. I love it. It's simplicity strips away everything to get as close as possible to pure emotion, and for me it works.
