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
Feels like classroom drills disguised as a turn-based RPG, with structured lessons and repetitive kanji combat.

What players say
Players say the game works well as a flash-card replacement for learning kanji meanings, but many report game-breaking bugs the developers never fixed. The RPG mechanics feel tacked-on, with odd scaling and an unskippable story that frustrates some. It is best approached as a supplement to other study tools.
