Inside Dark Ties

What it is

Experience the brand-new tale of Yoshitaka Mine from Yakuza 3 in an included separate game. Having once led a succesful startup company, he plunged himself into the dark world of the yakuza by choice after losing everything. Left with an empty heart, the pursuit to find true bonds drives him forward once again in a dramatic journey colored by exhilarating boxing-based combat, and a variety of engaging side experiences.
