Wagotabi: A Japanese Journey [Demo]
Want to learn Japanese but don’t know where to start? Tried many learning methods, but none kept you motivated? Struggling to apply what you're learning in real life?
Wagotabi is a fun and immersive RPG adventure set in real Japan. Fully accessible to beginners, it focuses on teaching the most practical words and grammatical concepts first, in concrete situations: asking for directions, ordering a Bento, expressing your likes and dislikes, and much more! Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji are introduced progressively as you expand your vocabulary.
Wagotabi is the game we wish we had when we first started learning Japanese.
FEATURES
Role play: Personalize your appearance, explore Japan and talk in Japanese with locals! Use your Japanese skills to progress in the adventure by solving quests, situations, and language-driven puzzles. All the situations have been handcrafting with care to maximise the practical use of the vocabulary and grammar concepts introduced. Discover the Japanese history, culture and geography while progressing in the adventure.
Smart Tests: Built in SRS (Spaced Repetition System) enables you to focus on words you struggle remembering. More than 15 different questions types are included (build sentences, find the correct words, conjugation, audio related questions, etc.)
Mini games: Diverse mini games for you to learn and have fun! Learning Kana and Kanji has never been that easy!
