Mahjong girl Kshity-Gurpa

[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1] A nostalgic play feel inspired by retro anime-style arcade strip mahjong [/h1] [h3]First, a note at the beginning: most of the serious bugs in the mahjong part that existed around release have now been fixed, and aside from minor issues, it has reached a state where it can be played normally. [/h3] This is a character-focused mahjong adventure that reconstructs the classic “anime-style arcade mahjong” vibe as a VN-style experience. (It has been officially announced as a work that respects Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai II.) After progressing through VN sections with multiple routes, the story advances by winning mahjong matches. A mahjong tutorial is also provided for players who are unsure about the rules.

I also had an opponent win with "Chombo" (i.e., penalty) as a yaku, which is pretty incredible to see in an automated mahjong game. Regarding strategy, the game is pretty bad at recognizing some complex tenpais, such as Russian tanki (i.e., shapes like 3445 or 34445), so it's better to go for normal shapes when you want to riichi. I think the tenpai validation is better after the recent update, though.
