Description

Focusing primarily on vocabulary acquisition and proper pronunciation, Influent is a fresh take on learning a new language through exploring a fully interactive 3D environment where absolutely everything can be selected, studied, and learned.

History

The game was developed as part of a research project at the University of Tsukuba, Japan’s Entertainment Computing Laboratory thanks, in part, to a research grant from the Japanese Government Monbukagakusho (MEXT). After the research project concluded and a paper was published by the IPSJ, a successful Kickstarter was launched to bring the prototype, previously known as SanjigenJiten (3D Dictionary), to market. To date, Influent supports 20+ languages and is available worldwide on Steam and the Humble Store.
