About the Game

Graduation is coming. In other words, everything that makes your life great is about to disappear. But that won't stop you from making the most of senior year!

Does that mean making new friends (or lovers)? Buckling down on your passion project? Just chilling out? You decide!

Features

  • 15-20 hours of story content!
  • Choose what to do after school, whether that be playing arcade games, hanging out at the maid cafe, or deepening relationships with your classmates!
  • Put your dev skills to the test with a variety of minigames and trivia questions!
  • A fully explorable world!

Characters

  • Amelia Lee - The perfect student, who can figure out anything except "what kids are into these days."
  • Britney Summers - A lazy class clown who's only made it this far through sheer luck.
  • Chloe Suzuki - The level-headed girl who keeps everyone on track--or so she wants people to think.
  • Daniel Harrington - Son of the school principal, and he won't let you forget it.
  • And many more!
