About the Game

You play as Mac, a freshman at SUNY Oswego college. He hasn't studied for his finals, and the Spring semester is drawing to an end. Instead of cramming, Mac's roommate Ron tells him of a legend. The Golden Pin of Oswego. Any who wears it during their final exams will be blessed to pass their tests. A powerful artifact indeed.

Thus, Mac embarks on his quest of procrastination. Following clues of this elusive pin and talking to anyone who might know something. Or generally messing around campus until he stumbles onto a lead. Navigate the halls of state sponsored high education. Mingling with classmates, and staff alike, simply trying to get through one of the toughest weeks of the semester.
