Play as `Umihara Kawase` - a backpacking Japanese sushi chef armed with a fishing rod, a rubber fishing line and a fishing hook. Avoid fish-like enemies, conveyer belts, spikes, watery pits, time travel and more.

The release of  UmiharaKawase Shun Steam Edition will be a real treat to lovers of the franchise, fans of Japanese games and lovers of all things retro.  Not only is  UmiharaKawase Shun available for the first time ever for PC gamers, but this will be the first time ever the game will be officially available to purchase anywhere outside of Japan!  It also the third and final launch of the UmiharaKawase series on PC, following the previous launches of Sayonara UmiharaKawase and UmiharaKawase.

There’s more…! The Steam version of  UmiharaKawase Shun  also includes all the levels from UmiharaKawase Shun Second Edition and UmiharaKawase Shun Second Edition Kanzenban. These additional levels were originally made available soon after  UmiharaKawase Shun launched way back in 1997 and have now been included to create one mega value Steam game.

It was the elasticity of Kawase-chan’s rubber fishing line that has always set UmiharaKawase series apart from all other rope games, giving unprecedented levels of mobility and discovery. Tightening the line or giving lots of slack can be the difference between success and failure. The bungee like nature of the fishing line allows the player to stretch down to otherwise unreachable areas or be catapulted upwards.
