A completely random event based text game. Simply make your choice at the beginning of each month and see if you can graduate in time. All outcomes are determined by the random number generator and do not take them seriously. Sometimes the RNG can be brutal :)

    Thank you for reminding me why I stopped at masters, haha…

    I once saw someone describe graduate school as a “youth amputation”, and I think about that a lot.

      6y5m here - The game does a good job of explaining how much of the timeline is up to random chance.

      I also think it’d be realistic (but not “fun”) if each playthrough, you had a chance of being assigned nice or mean advisor who would increase or decrease your hope by 1 every turn for the duration of the game.

        Haha, I don’t want to relive that. 😂 Gotta keep the hope for the prospectives, so the good people try and hopefully change the system.

        Where I did it it’s basically impossible to do it that long because you are part of 4 years project and anything after that is on your dime ;). So everyone wants you to graduate
