A Japanese-learning mystery game

証言 — TESTIMONY. THE STORY OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
建設中

SHOGEN is a home for interrogation mysteries built for people learning Japanese. Ask real questions, get instant, natural corrections as you write, and solve a case from the inside — instead of drilling flashcards, you'll be having a conversation you actually care about the outcome of.

Real conversations, not scripted lines

Every character is AI-driven and improvises honest answers to whatever you ask — no dialogue trees, nothing memorized.

Instant, gentle correction

Sensei mode checks every sentence you write and shows you the natural way to say it, right as you're writing it.

Pick your level

Every case adapts to you — from simple N4 beginner Japanese up to full native-speed N1, with dialect and nuance.

Tap to learn

Tap any word in the dialogue for its reading and meaning. It's saved straight to your personal word list.

Hear it out loud

One tap plays native pronunciation, so you can hear a line the same way you just read it.

A report on you

Close a case and get a short, personal write-up: what you did well in Japanese, and what to practice next.
