Kagami: An Odyssey in Japanese Language Learning Credits

Features

• Top Down RPG style gameplay forms the base of the game, inspired by classic RPGs from the 90s.

• A cast of characters that join your party on your journey to learn Japanese and help the player as they continue the story, driving players to find out what happens next.

• Hand drawn Pixel Art and animation inspired by beloved 90s RPGs and other classic Indie games.

• Fight Battles in Classic RPG style fashion, Upgrading attacks by leveling up, but with a comedic flair based on the dev’s sense of humor (for better or worse).

• The game teaches players Japanese starting at the basics of the language, teaching the alphabets and building on that knowledge to help them learn over 350 words!

• Over a dozen minigames to help make the tedium of learning Hiragana, Katakana, and vocabulary words not only bearable, but downright enjoyable!

• Players have access to all the “charms” or vocabulary words they collected and can study when outside of battle through your trusty Game-Buddy, who manages everything from inventory to vocab to saving your game file. 

• Game-Buddy also has a Hiragana and Katakana reference guide that include visual representations of mnemonics to help you retain all this new information and a sound clip of the kana being pronounced!

• Players can also practice their vocabulary anytime without fear of death or loss of progress in “The Dojo”, which is a gamified version of flash cards with high scores and reward tokens that can be used to buy powerful in-game items.

• Players can also learn 52 of the most commonly used radicals that make up complex Kanji.

• If players are past the beginner stage in their Japanese Learning, they can try to play with Kanji mode enabled, which changes the vocab shown in battles and in the Dojo to Kanji instead of Hiragana.

• Original Music composed and created to fit the retro aesthetic
