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 gentle, rhythm-driven language-learning experience where each button press aligns spoken English with a bouncy beat.

About

Do you find it difficult to understand spoken English or struggle to get your intended meaning across when speaking English? You've been studying for years, but...why does it seem so hard? The answer may be the difference in rhythm between Japanese and English. In this game, you can easily visualize the timing of English pronunciation by using the rhythm game style of play! The characters in the game will boldly deliver English speeches for you. As you play the rhythm game you will begin to experience the bouncy beat that English has. Whenever you press a button you can speak the word out loud along with the game's natural pronunciation. Before you know it, you'll find yourself naturally saying a lot of English!
