How it feels

A methodical turn-based JRPG that gradually teaches Japanese through dungeon crawling and story, with a lighthearted yet earnest tone.

What players say

Players appreciate Shujinkou as a solid dungeon crawler that integrates Japanese learning into its mechanics, though some say it cannot replace other study methods. A few report crashes, especially around a drawing practice feature, and some find the $60 price hard to justify. Players also praise the music and say the game works well for those prone to motion sickness.
