Overview
Higher Education is a 2D dating sim for players who enjoy female-led college stories with a slow, character-focused pace. Its tone stays grounded and personal rather than flashy.
Story
Sam, a 19-year-old leaving home for the first time, moves away to college with her best friend at her side. The story follows her as she settles into a new environment, meets people who will shape her path, and works out who she wants to become.
Gameplay
Play centers on Sam's daily college life: attending to schoolwork, exploring her new surroundings, and building relationships with the people she meets. Choices shape which characters she grows closer to and how those connections develop over time, with dialogue and decision points driving the pace rather than fixed objectives.
Features
- Hand-drawn 2D art style throughout
- Female protagonist perspective focused on personal growth and choice
- Romance options that include both male and female love interests
- School setting used as the backdrop for social and romantic events
Installation
1. Extract and run.
Changelog
v0.01.3
- In this release, you'll get to explore more of The Nest, meet a new love interest, or help Sam finish up her homework. After that, you can decide whether or not she should tutor David and have a little talk with Pat.
- The new scene with Gina features 5 possible branches and 13 CGs in total. There's also a new visual toggle to enable Sam to have pubic hair. The journal has been updated a bit to make things clearer.
v0.01.2
- In this release, I'm introducing another portion of the main love interests and trying to build them up a bit. The new scene with Brian is near the end. You need to agree to study with him after school (and refuse Liz) to get it. It has five possible branches with 12 CGs in total, of which one is animated.
- Playing from the end of the old release to the end of this one should take about 15 minutes.
- v0.01.1 - Initial Release
