The Splendor of the Mundane (Shenmue, Deadly Premonition, Persona 5)

A celebration and analysis of the life simulator elements and mundane activities present in video games. From the living, breathing streets of Yokosuka in Shenmue, to the pleasant small-town atmosphere of Greenvale in Deadly Premonition, to the lovely jobs, hobbies and fun activities you can jump into in Persona 5 and Yakuza series.
