[About Shenmue]
Shenmue (シェンムー 一章 横須賀, Shenmū Isshō Yokosuka, lit. "Shenmue Chapter 1: Yokosuka"), also known as Shenmue I, is the first installment in the Shenmue series.
It is an open-world adventure video game developed by Sega-AM2 and published by Sega for the Dreamcast, produced and directed by Yu Suzuki.
The story follows a Japanese teen's search for his father's murderer.
Shenmue borrows gameplay elements from several different genres but largely consists of open-world adventure segments with real-time 3D battles interspersed throughout. Suzuki coined a genre title, "FREE" (Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment), for the game, based on the interactivity and freedom he wanted to give to the player. Suzuki intended to achieve this by simulating aspects of real-life through the game, such as the day/night/sleep system, real-time variable weather effects (unheard of in a game of this kind at the time), fully voiced non-player characters with their own daily schedules, quick-time events, and various other interactive elements such as vending machines, arcades, and convenience stores.
The game was ported into an HD collection titled Shenmue I & II along with its 2001 sequel, Shenmue II for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
