Read the gap between words, and shoot the dirty one that appears.
A high-speed word-hunt action game wrapped in a school novel. As a public-morals committee member, you watch girls' everyday chatter stream across the screen as fast-scrolling text, and you shoot down the dirty words that accidentally assemble themselves when you re-read where one phrase is cut, the Japanese reading game of ginata-yomi. You are scored on how many you catch, how fast, and how accurately, across over 100 sensitive words, with branching endings and a mosaic mode for streamers. A solo work by the Japanese creator YAMADA, in the lineage of the accidental-dirty-word game NKODICE. Because it plays the sound of Japanese itself, there is no English version, and the West has barely found it.

01First, the one feeling
- The conversation never stops scrolling, so reading turns physical: your eyes race the text, and the moment two harmless words touch and a filthy one snaps into shape, your trigger finger already knows before your brain catches up.
- The catch is that the dirty word is never really there until you cut the line in the wrong place, so you are not reading what is written, you are hunting where it could break, ginata-yomi turned into a reflex.
- And every hit is scored on speed and accuracy at once, so you are pulled to read faster and aim cleaner on the same pass, and one perfect streak of catches makes you start the next conversation before you mean to.
02Who this is for (and who it is not)
For you
- You love the accidental-dirty-word idea of NKODICE and want it turned into a fast reflex hunt through scrolling conversation
- You enjoy Japanese wordplay, ginata-yomi and puns, and want a game built entirely on the sound and rhythm of the language
- You want a gem the West cannot reach, Overwhelmingly Positive in Japan at 99 percent with just 18 English reviews, because there is no English version at all
Not for you
- You do not read Japanese: there is no English version, and the whole game is the sound of Japanese, so it cannot be localized
- You want explicit content rather than text-based innuendo and lewd words built from misread phrases (this is wordplay, not depiction)

Woman Communication Buried gem
A high-speed word-hunt action game wrapped in a school novel. As a public-morals committee member, you watch girls' everyday chatter stream across the screen as fast-scrolling text, and your job is to spot the dirty words that accidentally assemble themselves when you re-read the gaps between words, and shoot them down like a shooting game. The trick is the Japanese reading game of ginata-yomi: shift where one phrase is cut and an innocent line suddenly hides a filthy one. You are scored on how many you catch, how fast, and how accurately, across over 100 sensitive words, with branching multiple endings driven by how you act and a mosaic mode built for streamers. Because the whole game is the sound and syllable structure of Japanese itself, it is structurally near-impossible to localize. Made by the Japanese solo creator YAMADA (GameCreatorNeko). Overwhelmingly Positive in Japan at 802 reviews and 99 percent, yet the West has barely found it: only 18 English reviews out of 802, about 2 percent. There is no English version: the store supports Japanese only, so the language itself is the wall.
Give it your first passNKODICE The origin
The origin of the accidental-dirty-word game: in 2021, the Japanese doujin creator ksym shipped a chinchiro-style dice game where the random faces of the dice keep assembling themselves, by sheer chance, into filthy Japanese words. This gem is a direct heir to that core idea, only it swaps the randomness of dice for the randomness of conversation: instead of dice faces lining up into a dirty word, it is everyday chatter that lines up into one, and your job is to hunt it.
