Of all the optional pastimes in Shenmue that give some extra flavor to the world, there's something pretty unique about the darts minigame and the smooth little tune that goes with it. It feels cozy and rewarding enough that you can just keep at it and rack up some points at the arcade. The aesthetic just feels oddly serene and welcoming in the right way, and you can go on listening to it. It's trancelike, I dare say.
