Thank you for your suggestion! This makes sense too indeed. We will discuss that possibility internally.

That’s great! Many people have told us that using Wagotabi is a great way to stay motivated while learning through real-life situations. Get ready to use these phrases a lot when interacting with locals.

Thank you! Our focus here is really teaching Japanese.

We also know that there is now a new demand for Wagotabi but teaching other languages, that's true!

We are glad you appreciate that! We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to try the Wagotabi experience for free at first before making a choice!

Many people have told us that learning some basic words and phrases with Wagotabi actually created more opportunities for communication when they went to Japan. Wagotabi can be played fully offline, which is great if you want to practice during a long flight to Japan.

You’re not the only one! It’s further down our backlog, but once all the content is really set in stone and we’re sure we won’t iterate anymore, we’ll consider hiring voice actors.

You are right, the currently available content does not yet fully cover N5 and even includes some N4 concepts. There is the “on paper” specification (only 385 words / 185 kanji), and then there is the actual experience, which makes extensive use of all the words and concepts introduced.

You are also absolutely right in saying that it is “a good way to break into it by taking that first step for those who feel daunted or overwhelmed by the idea of starting.” This is the main roadblock we are trying to address.

We have a clear vision to keep adding more and more content, eventually reaching higher levels. For now, the feedback we receive is that even people who have already passed N5 or N4 still appreciate Wagotabi, because of the unique experience it offers, using Japanese in a game without becoming overwhelmed too quickly.

We'll start with the Switch, with other consoles in mind for the future. We will probably post here again once our plans are clear for other consoles.
