About the Game

PSI ACADEMY: ORIENTATION

+85,000 Words!

16 Sprited Characters!

50+ Expressive Choices!

Extremely Generic Backgrounds!

It is the year 94AP, ninety-four years after the alien comet struck the earth and reset the calendar, causing psions (‘psionically-gifted children') to be born around the world. Only 2% of the population is found to have such superpowers at adolescence, so when the ages passed you by wherein such powers typically manifest themselves, you resigned yourself to a lifetime *without* the powers of a demigod.

Until today.

Psi Academy is a slow-burn slice-of-life dating sim exploring the mundane in the fantastic. Set in a magical/superhero academy, you’ll find yourself making lots of fun, expressive choices as you make new friends (and enemies) and choose to pursue one of three female leads:

You’ll also meet plenty of other curious characters, such as faculty, family, and other psychic students. Psi Academy is an attempt to capture what we first imagined when we heard the word ‘dating sim’, and we hope it is as much fun to play as it was to write. 🙂

Psi Academy: Orientation is the first project of Playdate Studios, hopefully it attracts attention so more games like it can be developed!
