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.

証
Real conversations, not scripted lines

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

先
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.

級
Pick your level

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

語
Tap to learn

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

音
Hear it out loud

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

報
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.
