It has come to our attention that there some concerns with the state of the game right now, so we'll like to address them. Although we have launched the game in Early Access, it has been made known to us that we have not communicated clearly how the development of the game is going to progress. Being a new start up and our first time developing a full blown game, it's difficult to confidently lay out an entire development road map, but we'll like to share how we plan on working and expanding the game. Right now, we are fully aware that the game is still far from being completed, and is lacking in content and features for it's asking price. However, we plan to include many more cars and tracks into the game in the coming months. We plan to have a "Major Update" about every month, whereby we add new content and features, such as cars, tracks, and gameplay features. After each "Major Update", a few smaller patches and hot-fixes will follow to fix and improve upon these new features that we have just added. For some of the features that will be coming to the game, please check out the Early Access section on the store page. If you're interested in Touge Shakai, but are on the fence about jumping aboard, please continue to watch the development and updates we bring in the subsequent months! In the meantime, here is a sneak peek of the new car that we are bringing in the next content update: The NXR

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.
