Evaluation

Touge Shakai has been in Early Access since January 7, 2023 and remains explicitly marked as unfinished. The developer has maintained a very active update cadence throughout the game's life, delivering 15 major content drops covering new cars, tracks, game modes (Team Battles, FPV Drone mode), VR support, rain physics, working wipers, a revamped garage, and more. The most recent major update (Build 0099, July 28, 2026) added a new 4WD car (the JT4), expanded force feedback steering wheel support, new wheel cosmetic options, and backend work for AI drivers — which the developer noted aren't quite ready yet, signaling that feature is still in progress. This update arrived approximately 8 months after the previous major release (Build 0094, November 28, 2025), which itself added a new car and long-awaited windshield wiper and raindrop physics. The store page continues to list features "coming later," including online matchmaking and ranking, driver and team profiles, and a replay camera editor — all publicly stated as planned but not yet shipped. The developer also noted in February 2025 that the Team System is "an ongoing feature" with plans to expand it further. With active development continuing into July 2026 and several features still on the developer's stated to-do list, there is no indication that development is winding down or that a 1.0 release is imminent.

About this game

Touge Shakai (Mountain Pass Society) is an online Touge Racing Game based on Japanese car culture in the 90s. With an emphasis on balance between realism and fun gameplay, the physics are tailored for competitive drift racing, while giving a challenge to all players.

The driving physics are mainly simulated, but not to the extent of hardcore racing simulators. The driving characteristics of each car is tailored to be distinctly different from each other, and require drivers to master different driving styles to bring out the best in each car. The objective is to be fun while remaining believable. However, there's a twist to the driving physics: Drifting is faster than grip driving for most rear-wheel drive vehicles.

Game modes

Time Attack

Race against the clock with various cars and courses to improve your pace and compete on the leaderboards. Players can also challenge the “ghosts” of other players, which are apparitions of their previous runs to learn from their driving. Medals are awarded with target timings, and provides progression for customization for each car.

PvP Battle

Classic touge-style battle. Battles rules include "First to finish" and "Cat and Mouse". Cat and Mouse has a leader and a chaser, with the leader trying to pull away and the chaser trying to keep up. The leader wins when they finish the course by a fixed distance from the chaser, while the chaser wins if they manage to overtake by the finish. The race moves on to the next round in a draw, with their positions reversed. Cat and Mouse mode is recommended as it provides the fairest battle, as overtaking is difficult and dangerous on the touge.

Team battles consist of multiple PvP Battles ongoing at the same time, with the team with the most wins coming out on top.

Free Ride

Practice, socialize and start impromptu races with others on the touge and just have fun! Learn from others and enjoy the course without the pressure of winning or losing. Showcase your rides and hang out with other racers and teams.
