About This Game

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.

This game is recommended for people who:
- wants to learn Japanese but don't know where to start
- have been struggling with conventional learning material
- want to prepare for a trip in Japan
- are interested in Japanese culture
- cannot go to Japan but want to apply their Japanese skills in real life situations



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!



Smart dictionary: Review what you need the most, anytime in 360 degrees. Icons, tags, grammatical formations and example sentences help you remember each word!
