really fun but quite a short game if you are playing sandbox

Oct. 2024

I love this game it is very addicting and also useful for learning how to design in the future.This game features details about the school and how it gets money and the pros and cons about it.It is useful for learning how every school works around the world

July 2024

The school version of Prison Architect and Rimworld in terms of graphics and mechanics, but way less complex and with way less content and replayability. Would love to see a sequel of this where the premise is expanded upon as I think the idea has a lot more potential than what the game ended up being.

March 2024

I got my money's worth out of this! It's a cute game, with a simple artistic taste and very easy-to-learn gameplay, although I will say that it tops out pretty quick. You will play the role of a school headmaster, running the business aspects of a generic school while keeping students and staff happy, fed and disciplined.

Feb. 2024

Its an enjoyable school builder game rather than school simulator as the name suggests Its very similar in style prison architect but lacks a lot of features, depth and simulation aspects in comparison. By the 4th school year you will have pretty much experienced all it has to offer and be left wanting more. More Research, rooms types , Grants, pupil pop, staff, to name a few. Its worth picking up if you like the genre just bare in mind its a base game and could have been so much more
