Dark Ties

Dark Ties is a character-focused action game centered on Yoshitaka Mine, a former startup founder who joins the yakuza after personal collapse. The core gameplay revolves around boxing-based combat—expect punch combinations, dodges, and ring-style brawls rather than traditional street fighting. Between story beats, you'll tackle side activities that flesh out Mine's world as he searches for connection in organized crime. The narrative tracks his shift from corporate success to criminal underworld, exploring what drives someone to choose that path. Combat leans heavily on boxing mechanics, so if you prefer weapon variety or gunplay, this isn't that. It's a standalone story, meaning no prior series knowledge required.
