It's understandable, but I do find it pretty funny to consider just how many early-90s Japanese games were all "so y'all heard about Streets?!?!"
The game would have a non-serious option for finishing "The One True Story" as well. Upon picking it, the game would fade to black and say "Well, it seems you're living that story right now. Good luck! Its ending is all up to you." and then quit to desktop.
Imagining a Live-A-Live style game where each character's chapter abruptly stops just before their final ordeal, the ending cut off as if by a Scheherazade. At the end of the game, you may finish only ONE story – the rest melting into legends, fiction and history in that world.
