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, cat-themed kanji learning game that feels like a playful sushi train adventure.

What players say

Players praise Kanji Cats as a fun way to drill kanji readings and vocabulary, especially for JLPT prep. The four game modes and level filters keep practice flexible, though some note the repetition is inherent to learning. The developers are responsive to bugs, and the gachapon cosmetics add a light reward loop.
