Substories are optional side quests that offer humorous, dramatic, or bizarre encounters with the citizens of Kamurocho. Completing them often rewards you with experience points, money, and sometimes even unique items or access to new activities. Many substories are time-sensitive or require specific conditions to trigger, so keep an eye out for exclamation marks on your mini-map.
How to Find Substories
Substories are typically marked by a blue exclamation mark on your mini-map. Approach the area or person to trigger the event. Some require you to overhear conversations, enter specific buildings, or complete other substories first. Always check different districts as you progress through the main story.
