Get the details below.
■ A Game Where You Can Go Where You Want
Fuuraiki 4 is a motorcycle touring travel adventure game. With a PlayStation 4 or Switch on-hand, you can head out on a journey at a moment’s notice. Since you have a 360-degree view while touring, you will feel like you are really traveling by motorcycle.
■ Journey Across Gifu Prefecture and Discover Its Charms
Gifu Prefecture, where the game is set, has one of the highest proportions of forested land in Japan, and is rich in natural sights such as Nagara River, one of the country’s three major clear water streams. Survey each spot to discover the hidden charms of Gifu Prefecture.
■ Markings Make for Easy Navigation
Riding your motorcycle without a destination is a fun way to discover new things, but there may be times you want to head straight to your destination. In such times, open your map to check explorable spots and the routes to them. By marking the spot on your map, you can navigate the route without the worry of getting lost.
■ Take Photographs at Each Spot
At each spot, you can take your own photographs. You can move the camera at 360 degrees even when taking photographs, so snap a shot of the scenery from your favorite angle.
Photographs can also be taken at your preferred timing. However, there are some scenes that can only be photographed during events, so be sure not to miss your chance.
There are two types of cameras: single-lens reflex and smartphone. While this does not affect the photographs you can take, you can enjoy a journey truer to yourself by using a camera more suited to your style.
The player is a mid-level reportage writer who participates in “NohiCom,” a reporting competition between magazine publishers, and publishes articles online. Write articles using the photographs taken at each spot and aim for the top rank in the competition.
The competition ranking will fluctuate based on the performance of your articles and the materials you utilized. Articles will also receive “Likes” and comments, giving players a taste of real travel blogging.
