Learn Japanese Through Puzzles in Kana Quest, Coming to Nintendo Switch This March

Make Friends With the Adorable Kana in 13 Worlds and 300 Hand-Crafted Levels in the Upcoming Educational Match ‘Em Up

Today, Whitethorn Games and Not Dead Design are excited to announce that their kawaii Kana match-em-up, Kana Quest, will be coming to the Nintendo Switch on March 28, 2023.

With over 300 hand-crafted levels, 13 worlds and no quizzes, players of all skill levels will be able to make friends with all the adorable Kana as they learn Japanese in an engaging and interactive way.

Kana Quest offers a unique twist on the educational game genre, teaching players to read Japanese through tile-swapping puzzles. Players must rearrange a grid of Kana in order to match tiles with shared sounds.

When all Kana in a level are connected by matches, the puzzle is completed. It also allows users to swap between Hiragana and Katakana at any time to add to their knowledge of the Japanese language.

The game will feature beautiful sprite art and catchy music to accompany players on their language-learning journey.

Kana Quest will be available on the Nintendo Switch™ on March 28, 2023, in North America and Europe, and on March 30, 2023, in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea. It is currently available for purchase on PC via Steam and the Humble Store.

Whitethorn Games CEO Dr. Matthew White commented, “Kana Quest is a fun, at-your-own-pace way to learn Japanese, and we’re pleased to be able to share it with even more players, thanks to our Partners at Nintendo. We’re glad they agree that Kana Quest should have a home on the Nintendo Switch.”
