Learning Japanese can be hard. But it can also be an adventure! Nihongo Hunter is an adventure game with retro vibes that helps aspiring Japanese students get over the first hurdle of learning the basics! You start on Hirajima Island, which hosts the Hiragana Dojo. On this island, all the locals will teach you Hiragana as you travel through various picturesque locations inspired by the islands of Okinawa, Japan. The philosophy of the game is not to go too heavy on the educational aspect, but rather let the player engage in a low-stakes adventure, but where exposure and mastery of the basic building blocks of Japanese is necessary to progress! For early access: Travel through 4 different regions of Hirajima and talk to NPCs. If you can complete their challenges, they will teach you Hiragana and Vocabulary to add to your Hiragana Dex and Jisho. In order to unlock the various regions, you must face the master of the Hiragana Dojo and level up your Hiragana Dex! Challenges include romaji to hiragana challenges and vice versa.
