User guide

The friends of Ringo Ishikawa revolves around Ringo Ishikawa, a high school gang leader, as he tries to survive his final autumn before graduating with the help of his best friends.

The game combines elements of an existential open-world beat'em up, school simulations, and more. It features a town to explore, day-night cycles, NPCs following their schedules, battle and school grinding, mini-games such as ping-pong, billiards, video-poker, and a video game console with a single game, among others.

However, the game's primary focus is its story, it is designed to make you feel the story. The game is not about rival gangs, taking over turfs, or anything of the sort. Instead, it invites you to immerse yourself in the story and experience it firsthand.
