Chinomikon

Chinomikon is an adventure-learning game about a hero who arrives in China hoping to earn money by teaching English. A series of unexpected events leads him to fight monsters for pages from the valuable Chinomikon book. To survive and continue the story, he must complete challenges and collect 34 pages.

Learn through exploration and combat

You search locations for items representing words connected to each place. Each item includes pinyin and a translation. Once you have found all the possible items in a location, you gain access to its battle zone through a portal.

In battles, you use the right item against each monster, which displays Chinese characters above it. Monsters may drop key items needed to continue the story and learning process. Repeated fights give you opportunities to remember the characters and their translations.

Game features

The game uses an RPG Maker battle system with a different approach, and includes 34 Chinese words to learn, fast storytelling and simple gameplay.
