Today, Whitethorn Games and Not Dead Design have announced the release of the kawaii Kana match ’em up, Kana Quest, for Nintendo Switch™ in North America and Europe, and for Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea on March 30th.
Watch the launch trailer here.
Kana Quest is an educational game that teaches players to read Japanese through engaging 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 matched, the puzzle is complete!
Kana Quest offers hundreds of brain-bending puzzles that will challenge even fluent Japanese speakers, all set in an adorable, pixel-art retro-arcade aesthetic.
The game was designed for anyone to enjoy, no matter their level of Japanese. Players can swap between Hiragana and Katakana at any time to add to their knowledge of the language.
In addition, the game is free of any pop quizzes, allowing players to learn in an interactive and engaging way.
Kana Quest is now available on PC via Steam worldwide and on Nintendo Switch™ in North America and Europe. It will be available in Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea on March 30, 2023.
