Our take on Shotengai 10
The defining structure is a shopping street that loops back to its entrance; choices to turn left or right depend on whether an abnormality is noticed, with Street 10 as the exit.
What is Shotengai 10?
Shotengai 10 takes place in an unfamiliar Japanese shopping district that loops back to its entrance.
Walk through the streets while watching and listening for changes. Turn left when something unusual appears and right when nothing has changed, using the clues to find the exit on Street 10. The game includes mild horror and recurring abnormalities. After escaping, new abnormalities can appear and the district may change slightly, giving players further things to find. The stated time for a first escape is 60 minutes; finding all abnormalities takes 120 minutes. Movement uses WASD and the mouse, Shift is used to run, and progress saves automatically after an abnormality is found or an escape succeeds.
