About the Game

University Is Hell is set in a twisted university where every day feels like Orientation Day — but nothing is as innocent as it seems.

You play as a student stuck in a loop, reliving the same day over and over, uncovering dark secrets, surviving deadly lessons, and navigating a campus full of suspicious professors and mysterious disappearances.

Will you survive the brutal physical education class? Convince the professors to let you pass? Or manage to avoid getting kidnapped?

Features:

-Experience a day packed with branching quests and multiple endings.

-Interact with weird professors, a mafia-boss janitor, a creepy dean, and other strange characters.

-Explore campus locations from the morning gathering to the dangerous PE class.

-Collect bizarre items, uncover hidden secrets.

-Replay the day, make different choices, and see how your story changes.

Meet the characters:

The Dean:

-The creepy dean who smiles like everything’s fine… but it’s definitely not.

Colin:

-Just a regular student desperately hoping to pass. Spoiler: it’s not looking great.

Prof Eyestain:

-Interrupt his lecture? Bad idea. His classes have more “victims” than lessons.

Prof Glutton:

-More interested in his snacks than seminars. Teaching? Meh, whatever.

Sara:

-The girl with all the connections. Need something done? Sara’s your go-to.

Ella:

-Innocent and well-mannered, always punctual and attentive in class. The Dean’s granddaughter on top of that.

Mrs. Janitor:

-Sweet janitor on the surface, ruthless mafia boss underneath. Watch your back.

Dexter:

-A nerd who thinks he's a genius. Everyone else? Not so much.

Arthur:

-Been here 37 years without disappearing. Runs a small shop and knows way too much.

PE Prof:

-Pushes students past their limits… often all the way to the grave.

Tom:

-Studying here is his last shot at a better life. No pressure, right?

Simon:

-Heir to the Equinox empire. Sees everyone else as peasants.
