Shenmue Gaiden (cancelled) - 2015ish - 0:29:06
A point and click adventure game set during/after the events of Shenmue 2. It was a hugely ambitious project from Shensun and Esspiral with a tonne of community input.
Not sure how far along this game got but it was exciting at the time with regular updates given until the pause on the project.
