If you're familiar with Beat Takeshi's films, then consider checking out Fading Afternoon. Every playthrough left me wanting to discover more about the main character and the people around him.

Rather than glorifying violence, it tells a reflective story about aging, redemption, and finding purpose after years spent living in a dangerous underworld. This mature perspective gives the game a distinctive identity that sets it apart from traditional action titles. Players step into the shoes of Seiji Maruyama, an experienced enforcer who has recently completed a prison sentence and returns to a world that has changed without him. His reputation still commands respect, but time has taken its toll, forcing him to confront physical limitations and uncertain relationships.

Understand [u]Fading Afternoon[/u] .; [i]like many i believe,[/i] want, to try, & understand|| The best way to get a GOOD! Perspective of the creation/writing of Yeo's story N' team here: - is to understand the tale, of a fierce tiger & the man climbing a tree to survive.. (if you heard the story? ; p it'll be quick) A person tries his best to escape by climbing a tree... but the tiger doesn't go away.. he "[b]is[/b]" the tiger's meal.. An will simply waits under the tree. As long, as it takes, & will NOT leave! no matter what. Days passing the man suddenly looks up in the tree, & find a [u]fruit[/u] eating the fruits he expresses; it being, the most incredible thing he had in his life... Then it ends.... [/spoiler] ---___________________ ... [spoiler]if you had a teacher explaining this story.. many would get very upset wanting to know [u]"what…
Yeo makes some of the greatest games of all time, if you could call them games. I love the scenery and environmental story telling, and the somewhat brutalist method of communication shown by the protagonists in Yeo's games.

Game gives you no idea when to complete objectives, and if you go to a location 1 time, you cant go back that day and fail. Complete piece of crap.
