Shujinkou

Learn one of the world's hardest languages as you help Shu, Jin, and Kou save Genya from language-devouring Akuma!

A retired samurai (主, Shu) is entrusted with saving his home from intelligent, language-devouring "Akuma" alongside an eccentric fox (人, Jin) freed from a cursed abode and an astute princess (公, Kou) with her own ambitions. Shujinkou is a dungeon-crawler that offers a unique opportunity to learn Japanese as you play. In addition to being a full-fledged JRPG, it features thousands of Japanese words, phrases, kana, kanji, and grammar elements that players can master through focus, diligence, and consistency. The language content offers new knowledge for language learners of any level. Learning Japanese is entirely optional. For those more interested in the adventure, Shujinkou delivers a rich role-playing experience:• Explore challenging labyrinths and solve puzzles from a first-person perspective.• Engage in strategic turn-based battles that evolve over time.• Switch to “English-Only” mode at any time to focus solely on the gameplay experience.• Master hundreds of Arawasu skills and uncover powerful items.• Forge dozens of distinct weapons and armor, each with unique flavor text.• Fish for a wide variety of marine creatures at various scenic spots.• Complete 100 side quests that explore and expand upon the many inhabitants of Genya.• Play six minigames hosted by members of the Fuu Lobby.• Revisit your journey through the Art Gallery and Jukebox.

Having been in development for over six years, what truly sets Shujinkou apart is its additional, seamless integration of Japanese language learning. Whether you’re only here for the adventure or here to finally learn Japanese through a real video game, the ability to learn a challenging, real-world skill makes Shujinkou stand out in the already-crowded genre of amazing role-playing games.
