About the game
Description:
An adult RPG that happens to teach you Japanese.
You start a new job at a company that owns a whole island across the bay from Japan, and you don't speak a word of Japanese. The game teaches you the words you need to understand the people around you and get around, and you use them to progress, some as commands the island's old machines only obey when you say them, others to follow what people are saying or to find the spicy content. On your first day a coworker teaches you 見る (look) over a cat video before lunch, and after work you can use it to peek at things you probably shouldn't.
Day one takes about 20 minutes, and with Adult mode on there are seven scenes to find, two of them explicit.
You play Eric, an IT engineer from Norway, or Carina, and everyone on the island works for the same company and lives there too. Japanese you haven't learned yet is blurred in both the text and the voices and clears up as you learn the words, and you can switch that off if you're fine listening to Japanese full on. Mio from your team speaks English and has one monorail ride to teach you enough not to embarrass everyone, and by the end of the day she has noticed what the machines do for you and wants to know how. A run teaches you eleven words, and you can start with no Japanese at all.
With Adult mode on there are seven scenes to find during the day. Four are peeks at women you met that day, Emi in a coffee-soaked shirt after a meeting, Mio in the server room with the air conditioning off, Mio again on a bench after her bath, and the receptionist at closing time. At the security gate you get to watch the guard search a new hire, and that one plays as a video. After dark two couples leave a door open, one at the bath house and one in a clothes shop's stockroom, and if you stay to watch those two are explicit, the stockroom one with its own song and a few pictures that move. You can't sleep with anyone from the main cast yet, and everyone in the game is an adult.

How to install:
Windows:
1. Extract the zip into a folder and run amakawa-complete-day1.exe from there, with the other files next to it.
2. The game isn't signed yet, so Windows will probably warn you about an unknown publisher. Click More info, then Run anyway.
Linux:
1. Make the AppImage executable (chmod +x, or tick "allow executing" in its file properties) and run it.
The game asks your age the first time it starts. On the new game screen you pick Eric or Carina, whether Adult mode is on, and whether the Japanese skill checks are on, and you can change all of that later in Settings.

Developer Notes:
It's free, and the next days will come as updates. You can export your save at the end of day one and load it into day two when it's out.
I use AI tools a lot, for the code, the art, the 3D models, the voices and the music, but it feels more like an extension of what I already did before, just way faster. The voices are designed, not copies of real people, and the game doesn't connect to anything, so it plays fully offline.
Everyone in the game is an adult, and the youngest named character is 21.
If something breaks, tell me what you were doing and include the build ID from the corner of the screen. I'd also really like to hear what you think of the blur on Japanese you haven't learned yet, since I'm still not sure about it.
