Life of Kanji Island Reviews

This game took me a while to understand, even after reading the author's guide on the store page. It is indeed fun, but the first (lots) attempts were quite difficult. I could not find a way to get food, once my food depleted, I started losing, every time; not giving me enough time to use the torch to light up the kanji's in the dark. Once I got the torch, I started trying to find food. If you don't have the torch, as much as you search for food, you die once it becomes dark. You have to use the guide in “製作” as instructed, and realized the easiest way to get food is by making rice. But before getting rice, and the torch, you have to do the “焚き火” in order to cook the rice. Positive : It is fun once you get a hang of the mechanics. The kanji relationships are also nice to absorb while playing. It can become addictive. Negative: It takes a bit to build up to the point where you enjoy it, so you might die many times before you reach to that point. Once you do, then it can become addictive. I would first play it in English to get the relationships between biomes, food, insects, etc. (Oh and clicking on the dog tends to kill you fast.) Then, try it in Japanese only.
