The Sprout

It was meant to be nothing more than an ordinary act of skipping class. You headed to the main building’s rooftop, but one misstep left you unconscious. When you wake up, you find yourself in a campus that is familiar yet strangely transformed. You must uncover the truth and find a way out.
