The Loom is an experimental Japanese conversation trainer. Instead of testing vocabulary or grammar, it models the live geometry of an exchange: who has the floor, when a backchannel fits, what register a topic has fallen into, and how silence reshapes what comes next.
Players choose responses (うん, へえ, そっか, 大丈夫？, ちょっと待って…) from a bank that evolves with the conversation. Same tile at a different moment produces a different turn. Silence is a real choice.
Working prototype is offline-only — running locally, not yet deployed. The first authored scenario is a casual recounting of a station encounter. Expect the live version to drop here when the conversation feels alive enough to be worth playing.
