I'm confused, is there supposed to be some kind of game on the site that isn't loading for me?

There are references to things like "dungeons" and "encounters" and so on, but all that I see are a bunch of pages with lists of words/phrases in boxes.

Haha. As described in the title of the game, it's a Mental RPG. The game takes place in your mind. The site only gives you the environment for you to simulate in your mind. Think about Dungeons and Dragons "Theater of the Mind" but for language learning. Every encounter with a word is a battle. You defeat the enemy once you understand it. It's honor system based given that only you would know if you actually understand it.

I was about to say the same thing, the whole thing is just confusing to me. There doesn't appear to be any game.
