Our take on Education
This horror game shifts attention away from combat and toward atmosphere, abandoned-school exploration, puzzles, and written clues. Its short, level-based structure also replaces the expectation of one uninterrupted campaign with six separate chapters.
What is Education?
Bart Blake returns to his former school through nightmares connected to terrible acts from his youth.
Players explore the corridors of the abandoned building, solve puzzles, search for collectibles, and investigate events that occurred 15 years earlier. The story emerges through students’ diaries and old newspapers, while locked doors lead to additional mysteries. Education is divided into six short chapters, with progress saved at the start of each level. Sound and music shape the journey’s mood, covering its tense and quieter moments. The game focuses on atmosphere, exploration, and reading-based discovery rather than describing a large or combat-centered structure.
