Welcome to College!

You are a new student at college! Now, you just need to survive...


General Controls

Arrow Keys - Navigate menus

Z - Select menu option

C - Open stats menu (When studying)


There are two main sections of gameplay


Lecture Time

Copy what the professor says using the keys on your keyboard (arrow keys, z, x, c). This will impact your grade, and getting stuff wrong doesn't exactly help one's mental health.


Study Time

Decide how you will spend your time after class. You can relax to improve your mental health, study to improve your grades a bit (at the cost of a little bit of mental health), or sleep to regain energy. Be sure to get at least eight hours, or else you will be miserable.


Manage Your Stats!

Your final ranking at the end of the game is determined by how high your grades and mental health are. While academic prowess is very appealing, remember that Cs get degrees. Don't sacrifice your mental health for that illustrious "A." Instead, maintain a balance of both to succeed. Sleep has little impact on your final score. However, it drastically affects how your mental health changes throughout the game, so be sure not to neglect it!


If you can survive ten weeks (or ten rounds of gameplay), you get to see how you did. Be sure to post your scores in the comments!


Overall, am I satisfied with this entry?

Being real, I'm just happy to get back to programming. College has been really hard, and I have almost no free time to program anymore. Thankfully, the semester is over halfway over, and then comes summer break!
Actually looking at the game, though, I think it came out really well for just around eight to nine hours of development time! So I absolutely am satisfied with how it came out. A solid 4/5 for me.


Known Bugs

During the verdict screen, the "Sleep Score" label is mistakenly written as "Mental Health Score," thus resulting in duplicate labels. The first one is the sleep label (range of 0-10), while the second one is the mental health score (range of 0-100).

Sometimes, buttons will become deselected when you use the mouse (web version only). Simply restart the webpage to fix. Avoid using the mouse at all while playing to prevent it.

Install instructions

The browser version works perfectly fine. Just click on the "run game" button.

If you want to run it on your PC, though, simply unpack the .zip file for Windows and launch the executable.

For other computers, I apologize, but I haven't been able to get other platforms to work besides Windows. You can just play the web version instead, as it works just like the download!
