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, guided adventure through real Japan where you learn Japanese by using it in everyday situations.

What players say
Players call this a standout Japanese learning game, best for beginners past hiragana and katakana. It teaches kanji and grammar through RPG quests, though some warn it moves too fast for total beginners or as a solo study tool. Players split on whether it suits N4 learners or only early levels. A few mention the flick keyboard test is brutal on touchpads, and one dislikes a post-update voice.
