The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A comedic, typing-driven RPG that feels like a playful Japanese lesson, blending light storytelling with structured learning.

What players say
Players find this the most engaging way to start learning Japanese, especially hiragana, katakana and casual speech used in anime. It has no microtransactions or ads, but runs in a tiny 640x480 window and does not support the mouse. The story is comedic, the battles are typing drills, and a second playthrough in kanji mode is offered.
