Influent is a Language Learning Game focusing primarily on vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation. It was initially developed in Japan at the University of Tsukuba's Entertainment Computing Laboratory under the Monbukagakusho Government Research Scholarship. Inspired by Dreamcast titles of old (namely Shenmue and Toy Commander) Influent immerses players in a fully interactive 3D environment where the names for absolutely every object in the game can be gleaned with a single tap! In fact, even more information can be learned with a double-tap! Every door, drawer, and cabinet can be opened with a tap-and-hold, revealing more things to be learned! Packed to the brim with hundreds of native audio pronunciations (painstakingly recorded specifically for this game), Influent offers players of all ages a unique opportunity to enjoy learning both vocabulary and pronunciation in the language of their choice.

Both are free to download. Study Quest sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Influent Language Learning sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Influent Language Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 76 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Study Quest's written reviews are positive against 57% of Influent Language Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Study Quest ships an update monthly, Influent Language Learning every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
