About

Toro to Typing is a typing-based adventure game based on the Japanese PlayStation game Doko Demo Issyo. The game series concept of communicating with and teaching a virtual pet-type character is integrated with typing prompts.
Storyline

It follows the adventures of Toro Inoue, a little white cat who wants to become human. Like in his original game, players converse with Toro to help him learn Japanese, but this time around that's done via typing words and sentences using the computer keyboard. Aside from Toro, it also features appearances by his friends Suzuki, Jun, Ricky, and Pierre.
