Totally Totally Chatmonster
Japanese arcade dancer in which you engage in “competiversation” with various NPC opponents—a salaryman on the Tokyo subway, a geisha, a schoolgirl, Iron Chef Morimoto, etc.—by stepping on the correct dance pad arrows to fire off the words that construct an effective riposte to their latest rhetorical gambit.
Two players can play head-to-head, using a pair of dance pads to softshoe simplified discussions of a variety of topics. This will replace texting as the primary form of communication between many Japanese teens.
Further, TTC conversations will be used as a means of plain-sight encrypting communications to stymie nosey adults: the code can be employed in person through basic footwork, or deployed over traditional text chat media by typing sequences of <, >, v and ^ characters that can be decoded as footsteps by a conversant recipient.
