About the Game

“SO-JI -Why Why Japanese- SHINJUKU” is a near-future cleaning action game where you save the city of “NEO/SHINJUKU,” which has been contaminated by a runaway cleaning AI.

A near-future cleaning action game!

Scrub away grime with exhilarating water pressure and polish the city to a sparkling shine with overwhelming efficiency!

No need to understand a complex story. All that’s required are split-second decisions and an overwhelming sense of “cleaning aesthetics”!

Master your gameplay within the time limit and restore the beauty of this neon-lit city!

■ Game Features

[1] “High-Pressure Washing” × “Vacuum”: Exhilarating, intuitive action where you run wild!

Scrub away stubborn grime caked onto walls and floors with “High-Pressure Water,” and suck up scattered trash and empty cans all at once with the “Vacuum”!

Switch weapons instantly depending on the situation, and chain together combos by removing dirt in rapid succession!

Blow away your stress in an instant with explosive visuals and an accelerating sense of exhilaration!

[2] Real-Time Feedback from the City and “Cleaning Catharsis”

The “Great!” effect bursts onto the screen the moment you completely remove the dirt!

Plus, city residents watching your performance—including hosts, office workers, and hostesses—gather around to cheer you on with wild applause!

A one-of-a-kind experience that gives you the intense, tangible feeling that “right now, you’re saving the city”!

[3] “Cultural Mechanics” That Bring Japan’s Unique Spirit to Life in a Game

Pick up invisible trash on the side of the road to accumulate “Virtue (TOKU),” raise your rating with a bow (OMOTENASHI),

and face the ultimate dilemma: when you run out of time, choose “Overtime (ZANGYOU)” to aim for completion!

Experience the unique rhythm and depth born from Japanese culture!

[4] Craft the Most Efficient Cleaning Route Within the Time Limit

Head out to the zoned-off maps and build your own optimal cleaning route!

Since runaway AI spreads dirt in real time even while you’re cleaning, you’ll need to constantly monitor the situation on the minimap as you maneuver!

split-second decisions and spatial awareness will determine your score and the fate of the city!

■ An Addictive Loop of Pursuing Your Own “Optimal Solution”

Deliberately leave stubborn stains for later and vacuum up large areas of trash to rack up combos.

With time running out, risk a lower score by “working overtime” to achieve a complete clean.

There’s no single “correct” strategy.

There’s no time to stop. Under ever-changing conditions, figure out the “best possible approach” for each unique situation!

■ From Japan to the World—Transforming “Japanese Meticulousness” into the Ultimate Action Experience

A striking visual contrast as you wash away vivid pollutants and restore the neon lights.

Experience the thrill of growth as your skills hone, and enjoy the ultimate mental detox!

Wash away the endless chaos with your own hands‼
