School: The Hardest RPG in Your Life

I don't know if this team is ever going to release an update for this game since it was a college project, but if they do then here's some problems that hurt the game a lot: Unskippable 5 minute cutscene that plays every time you die Character screen softlocks the game Animation jank and unclear dodge mechanics (I can't tell if I'm not taking damage because of a bug or if they missed) You can't target multiple enemies with the mouse, you have to use keyboard to do that, just a minor inconvenience Soft locked during the first boss, I'm not sure if there's more after or not Can't use items outside of combat and no description for them No ability descriptions, bandage is obvious, but what's the difference between spit and insult?

But the students were deliberately mistaught that's it's okay to release obsolete 2D games in the 3D era of gaming... certainly any professional developer seeing a prospective new hire who doesn't even know about 3D gaming probably isn't going to give them a job. Needless to say if an educational institution taught me incorrectly on purpose, I'd ask for my money back. This is a really poorly made, simplistic lightweight "I can't believe it's not RPG Maker" RPG with a theme around surviving school and passing classes or having to go to summer school instead of getting time off. A lot like the students here, who had to make a 2D game and then discovered their tuition didn't tell them that game companies don't hire developers who can't make games for the 21st century, which use 3D graphics. This is worthless in any student portfolio, and even more worthless for us gamers, who were never considered a…
