About This Game

Katanakaji is an approachable first-person crafting game about the journey from an unknown artisan to a renowned Japanese swordsmith.

Within the warmth of your forge, every new piece of tamahagane is an opportunity to prove your skill. Accept commissions, create blades that meet the needs of your clients, and build a reputation through the quality of your work. As your name becomes known, more prestigious contracts and greater challenges await.

Guide each katana through a hands-on sequence inspired by traditional Japanese swordsmithing. Manage the forge, hammer heated steel into shape, select a hamon style, apply clay, quench the blade, polish its surface, and complete it with your choice of decorative fittings.

The experience captures the atmosphere and satisfaction of the craft through accessible timing, movement, and decision-based minigames. Katanakaji is not intended to be a hardcore metallurgical simulation. Your performance still matters: every stage contributes to the finished sword’s quality, appearance, identity, and value, while serious mistakes can damage or even destroy a blade.

Once your work is complete, choose its future. Deliver it for a contract, sell it for profit, temporarily store it, or display it inside your forge. Space is limited, so every sword you keep becomes a meaningful decision. Hold on to an exceptional creation, make room for something better, or sell a treasured blade to support the next step in your journey.

With every successful commission and completed katana, your renown grows. Improve your craft, take on increasingly demanding work, and transform your humble forge into the home of a legendary swordsmith.
