## Description
_Hong Kong no Mashu_ is based on the manga _Lupin the 3rd_ and is built like
an episode in the series, assuming the player’s familiarity with the
characters. The central character is the grandson of the fictional “gentleman
thief” Ars ene Lupin, who follows the same profession, traveling in search of
riches and adventure with his companion Daisuke Jigen, an expert marksman.
Joining them in this episode is Goemon Ishikawa XIII, a descendant of the
legendary Japanese swordsman. Finding themselves in Hong Kong for different
reasons, the heroes encounter an evasive and mysterious character with a dark
past who crosses their paths and forces them to take action.
The game consists of two stories accessible from the main menu. In the first
the player controls Jigen, while the protagonist of the second is Ishikawa.
The game’s structure resembles that of a visual novel: the gameplay is mostly
restricted to selecting the right choice among several available ones. These
decision prompts are fairly frequent, and making the wrong choice would
sometimes lead to Game Over. In addition, in the beginning of each chapter the
player must select three items from a list, which will become available as
valid choices during correspondent scenes.
