Evaluation

Kemono Mahjong launched on January 11, 2021 and has been continuously updated by its solo developer ever since. Notable additions over the years include a 3-player (Sanma) mode in December 2021, Japanese voice acting in April 2022, a Replays mode in January 2023, gamepad support in August 2024, a new winning condition (Mangan at Draw / Nagashi Mangan) in January 2025, and most recently Steam Deck and gamepad refinements on July 14, 2025. This represents a sustained pattern of developer engagement spanning over four and a half years. The developer has not announced any specific upcoming content, nor have they indicated development has concluded. The most recent update was on July 14, 2025 — well within the historical pattern of updates arriving every few months to a year. No signals suggest the developer has stepped away from the project.

About this game

No mere tile-matching solitaire game, this is a full implementation of Japanese Mahjong. A fun, strategic variant of the classic Chinese 4-player game!

Features:

* Real (4-player) mahjong! (you vs. 3 CPU opponents - or play online with friends!)
* Japanese/Riichi style following European Mahjong Association (EMA) rules
* Beautiful, easy-to-read tiles (with traditional and simplified tile sets)
* Colourful cast of characters
* Beautiful music
* Multiple languages!
* Tutorials and in-game help, ideal for new players!
