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, repetitive drill that pairs minimalist visuals with patient pronunciation cues to build recognition of Japanese characters.

What players say
Players say it is a fun and effective way to lock in hiragana and katakana through typing and tracing, but it is not a full language-learning tool. It skips stroke order and handwriting differences, and some find the tracing annoying. Most finish in under 15 hours.
