Learn Japanese or... Die!

Learn Japanese or... Die!

The bird is no longer asking. In this first-person horror experience, you must master Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji to escape a procedurally generated nightmare. Answer correctly to survive, or let Polly Glot make you her final lesson.

About This Game

Forget your daily streak, now you’re playing for your life.

Learn Japanese or... Die! is a heart-pounding survival horror game that turns language learning into a literal deathmatch. Trapped in a shifting labyrinth of retro-style corridors, you are hunted by Polly Glot, the unhinged mascot of a language app gone wrong. She doesn't want your money, she wants your fluency... and maybe your soul.

The Core Loop: Study or Suffer

To escape each level, you must locate 5 quizzes throughout the maze. You aren’t allowed to leave the screen until you get the answer right.

Key Features:

• Linguistic Progression: Start with the basics of Hiragana, move into Katakana, tackle the mountain of Kanji, and finally attempt to master useless phrases that might just save your life.

• Procedural Nightmares: No two runs are the same. Our generation ensures a fresh, connected maze of terror every time you hit "Start."

• Retro Aesthetic: Experience 90s-style raycast graphics featuring animated sprites and a gritty, lo-fi atmosphere.

• Adaptive Difficulty: Polly Glot is a persistent hunter.

• High-Stakes Learning: Success yields the sweet sound of progress and failure greets you with a jump scare and a game over.

Will you become fluent, or will you become a statistic?
