The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 relaxed, gentle simulation RPG that teaches Japanese through idle play and cozy progression.

What players say

Players praise the idle RPG approach to Japanese, calling it a gentle alternative to Duolingo that teaches through comprehensible input and gradual unlocks. Some wish for UI customization like dark mode, while one reviewer reports a critical kanji font bug that went unacknowledged for over three months.
