I am shocked how much Mizzurna Falls resemble Shenmue so much and was released a year earlier

I discovered this game recently and had no idea it existed, I have heard other games that resemble Shenmue but never seen this one mentioned.

This is the game that reminds of Shenmue the most of all so called "Shenmue-like" games.

This game did many features I thought Shenmue was the first but this game did them first.

I find it so suspicious how similar this game is to Shenmue this can't be mere coincidence right?

Here is a playthrough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W4idmxs5u8

-The player has seven days to explore the town and countryside talking to the residents in order to solve the mystery, if he fails he gets the bad ending like Shenmue.

  • in-game day-night cycle

-One in game hour is around five minutes in real time.

-The game features the "tank style" movement controls

-Quick time events

  • Fighting

  • Main character constantly saying "I see" like Ryo.

-Full weather cycle but not based on real like like Shenmue

  • The residents of the town have individual daily routines.

-Matthew can also use his mobile phone to call other characters and certain businesses in the town.

  • Can give items to NPC to give you a clue or unlock a scene

  • NPC dialog constantly changes depending on the day

  • A girl that reminds of Nozomi that has crush on MC

  • That also invite you to talk at the local park in the middle of the night via a phone call

  • Main character wears a jacket and even sleeps wearing clothes like Ryo

  • Boombox and picture of friends in the room, reminded me of Shenmue

  • The Whole milk at the bar reminded me of Shenmue

  • Similar sound effects especially at night that remind me of Shenmue

  • Similar Camera when using stairs and opening doors

  • Events are triggered when you enter a certain area at the right time, just like in Shenmue. Many of these events can be missed.

  • You save the game in bed

  • Darts! in the bar, but sadly no darts minigame.

  • Pet you can pat head, instead of a kitty you have a trusty dog

  • Very silly dialog like in Shenmue!

  • There is a notebook that was supposed to be used similar way to Shenmue, but there was not enough time to implement it, this was explained in the interview, I posted the link below.

Things that it has and shenmue lacked in the first 2 games:

  • Functional bathroom

  • Can Drive a car that needs gasoline

  • Can buy and eat food

  • Sense of familiarity almost everyone knows you in the town.

  • Exploring rooms objects to find clues

  • Picking up boxes to reach high places. Of course many games do this but it felt like I was doing it on Shenmue.

This game is flawed through and Shenmue is multiple times more polished game.

Since this game had lower budget, was developed on the limited PS1 hardware and only had 1 year of development, yet it was so impressive how much they managed to do in only 1 year.

Missing events is the biggest flaw of this game since missing some events can destroy your entire progression. So if you don't have a save file before missing this event, your entire progression till this point is ruined and you going to get the bad ending.

I am glad shenmue had more freedom in this and was not as ruthless.

Here is an interview of the main creator of this game

Is there a way to add scalefx to duckstation?

I moved scalefx shader from retroarch inside shades and didn't work. Does it need a specific file format or be at a certain folder?

I use this shared in swanstation and want to use use it now on the latest duckstation since swanstation which is the core of duckstation for retroarch is outdated.

SoulLand author

Ive seen netizens in china been joking that the author SoulLand - TangjiaSanshao: who had an influence on getting ReverendInsanity banned is more like FangYuan than the Ri author because

Sanshao is willing to sacrifice his family for his work, not even caring when his wife died (Dead Wife

Demon Venerable) just like FangYuan

While guzhenren deeply cares for his family well being despite having written FangYuan

TangjiaSanshao might aswell just be fangyuan reincarnated to get his own story banned, virtually obtaining eternal life and not get his life story spread

Removing checkout window when claiming free games was the best upgrade I have ever seen epic games done.

Is the best update Epic Games has ever done to their page for their Free games giveaway.

It will save us hours of our lives in the long term.

Before to claim a game:

  1. You would visit the game page

  2. Click to claim the game

  3. Then wait for checkout window to open, saying it would cost you 0.00$

  4. Then click the checkout button and wait again in another loading.

I remember I had at times issues and had to reload the page and do steps 2, 3 and 4 again.

It would take me around 10 seconds due to the double loading.

I would just open another tab and trying to get another game while this loading was taking place.

Now:

  1. You would visit the game page

  2. Click to claim the game, Done!

Now it took me 2 seconds since it seems instant.

Cars from distance is missing wheels [ Game: Racing Lagoon ]

Duckstation version 0.1-11267-ge4c55ad02 (dev)

Game: Racing Lagoon

As you can see from the picture the car in the distance loses it's wheels and is floating when it's on a distance.

Is there is any setting that can help me avoid this issue?

I searched on google and AI gave me some suggestions, I try them all and still same issue.

I think one of the buildings is also missing bottom part.

No idea if this is an emulator or game issue?

Kowloon walled City + Arcade [ Kowloon's Gate ]

This game is based on Kowloon walled city and is very interesting. The game came in Playstation.

It has Chinese horror and time traveling theme.

Some of the people that worked on this game ended up working for Quintet company

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintet_(company)

Who later collaborated to make Shenmue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8IOPFF4nig

The game is in Japanese and these is no English translator but you can use Retroarch to translate the text.

This is the real deal fully uncensored manhua. The author even got arrested. Be aware there are some gay scenes as well.

Epic games and Steam both required internet connection to boot last time I checked.

I hope they remove this in Shenmue III Enhanced, it would greatly increase my chance to buy it.

Such as:

Exclusive Jacket: A special "Dragon" jacket was provided to certain backer tiers for Ryo to wear.

International Phone Card (S3 World Telecom): An in-game item that allowed Ryo to call characters from previous games, such as Nozomi, Guizhang, and Joy, unlocking exclusive phone conversations and flashbacks. A "VIP" phonecard allowing unique phone conversations and flashbacks for $80+ tier backers.

Two-Wheeled Fist Move: An exclusive move scroll, reported to be included in higher-tier pledges (e.g., $250+), sometimes referred to as the "$800 tier" reward.

Chained Fist Move: A special skill move exclusively available to backers who pledged $160 or more.

Capsule Toy Tickets: Bonus in-game tickets for capsule machines.

Deluxe version items:

Burning Sandstorm" Advanced Technique Scroll

Legendary Ryo's Flight Jacket.

For me to get all items I had to buy Deluxe version.

But since I had an accident, I missed on the time limit to request Steam version.

I even send them an email and asked if I could get all Epic games backers items in the Steam version if I bought it and they say no. Which made me feel disappointed.

So I ended up with 2 versions (Epic games and Steam) of the game with different items and was a big letdown.

Another thing I heavily dislike is that you need internet connection to play Shenmue 3 or the game would not start.

[ Sacred Scripture name: The Wind Spell ]

It's a short tale, it's like a fairy tale in manhua form The ending was absolutely perfect. It's the first time I read an ending in a manhua that was not mediocre. The art is one of the highest quality I have seen.
