The ultimate language hack: Falling in love. So I built a Korean learning dating sim.
Have you ever imagined moving to Seoul and learning Korean through real connections? Language exists for communication, so I built LinkRush, a world where you live the language through an immersive story.
For the past nine months, I’ve been working as a solo developer to blend dating sims with language learning. I studied various games and apps to integrate these two different styles into one experience. To supplement my perspective as a native speaker, I am currently halfway through a Korean teaching degree to ensure the educational foundation is solid.
Language learning is all about staying motivated, so I focused on making it fun to keep going. LinkRush uses stories, XP, affinity systems, and AI chats to keep the process engaging. The goal is to make it feel natural, not like a chore.
Since my last post, I’ve added a new character, more lessons, and a level system, with more content on the way.
Building this alone is a challenge, and honest feedback is what keeps the project moving. If this concept sounds interesting, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Free to play. I'd be happy to hear what you think!
