Edgefield

The Story (So Far)

So, here’s the setup: You’re 18 years old and on your way to Edgefield University, an expensive, prestigious school you’re honestly kinda shocked you got into. You’re interested in photography, but are undecided on what you’re going to study. On your ride there, you’re accompanied by your dad, his new girlfriend, Sasha and her daughter, Emma.

Once you arrive, you move into your dorm room and meet your new floormates. Whether you choose to play as a male or female protagonist, you’ll have the freedom to pursue relationships with characters of any gender, with a goal of making this a deeply personal and inclusive experience. We want to give you total freedom in who you pursue without locking you out of content if you’re not into a specific character. Everything is optional.

Gameplay Systems
(Not all gameplay mechanics listed are in the first release)

Open World, Sandbox Map - We want Edgefield to feel like a place you can actually explore. Plenty of locations, random encounters, characters with daily schedules, that kind of thing.
Romantic / Friendship Routes - Every major character has their own story arc with either a Romantic or Friendship route and you’re able to change your mind about which of these relationships you want with each of them.
Room Customization - You'll have your own dorm room and will be able to deck it out however you like. Posters, furniture, weird junk you collect after completing quests — it'll feel like your space.
Booty Call Mechanic - If you hit it off with someone, you'll eventually be able to invite them over for some late-night fun. Gotta build up that relationship first, though. This will serve as one of the ways to view repeatable sex scenes.
Jobs (For Money) - We’re planning some part-time job options that let you earn cash / meet new people around town.

Studying (For Grades) - Tests happen every 7 in-game days. You’ll need to study a few times each week to keep your grades up. Studying is just a quick 3-second montage or something (no player input needed) that progresses the in-game time by one.

You’ll have 21 time slots per week, and 4 of those will need to go toward studying if you want to keep your grades up. Passing tests comes with perks, but failing won’t ruin your game — you'll just have a different experience.

Eventually there will be ways to study more efficiently (meaning you’ll be able to study less per week), and ways to get away without studying at all. This is meant to be a fun resource management system, but not something that is overly burdensome.

Phone (For Nudes) - A cell phone with a contacts menu, texting, a photo gallery and blah blah blah etc. It’s a phone.
Collectible Trading Cards - Hot trading cards hidden around campus. Because who doesn’t love monster girls.
