20 minutes into Shenmue and an old lady’s asked me where the Yamamoto residence is. I have no idea where it is but now she’s waiting for me in the park while I wander randomly around the area peering at low-res Japanese name plates and wondering if they actually expect me to know name kanji (I mean, it’s an easy one, but...)

...hope that old lady’s okay.

I wonder if she would settle for Motoyama instead........

I didn’t pause the game before I went to the screenshot menu and when I came back it had become night

I really hope the old lady isn’t mad at me
