Look at Watch to Pass Time Faster

Another prominent feature of the Shenmue games is time. Specifically with the first installment, you may often find yourself looking for things to do to kill time while you wait for a mission objective to initiate. At the time, this was unprecedented, but now it just seems like a poor use of the player’s time.

If you’re really bored and need time to pass quickly, open up your Item menu, go to the Story Items tab and navigate over to the watch. If you select it, you’ll notice time will move more quickly. Treat this as a last resort, because there is much to see and do in Shenmue. However, if you need a potty break or want to go grab a quick snack, leaving the game running with your watch up will speed up time.
