the game is beautiful, that’s no mistaking it. but it seems like the dev focuses on miscellaneous aspects, instead of aiming for “education” as a main goal — see the DLC, that’s more “insta-filters” to beautify your photo, but no additional words to learn.

if you’re looking for a photography game, then this game might be fine… or not. since the amount of content is extremely slim: there’s only one street block for you to explore, plus that you cannot enter the interior of any building! walking around would take less than 10 minutes. take out your camera and shooting every photo would take another 10. and that’s it!

and that goes for the language learning aspect too. you’ll only encountered basic words on the street (store fronts, cars, 止まれ sign, cats & dogs), no depth into other categories (household commodities, sightseeing locations, museum, sports, even hospital & police office)

not a bad game. but with this price tag and lack of content, just save your money and actually travelling to japan. that’ll be more effective language learning experience.

p.s. you might wanna completely ignore this game, not even leave a review for it. since if you gave it a thumb down, the dev might capture your review and make fun of you on his twitter. — actually, no need to go for twitter, just see dev’s attitude when he replies to other negative reviews here on Steam.
