Our take on Old School
Rather than treating school as a backdrop for a linear coming-of-age story, the game combines class schedules, popularity, relationships, violence, exploration, and a later teaching career in one school-life structure.
What is Old School?
Old School is a 3D school-life game where players create a student and follow a timetable of subjects, answering questions to progress toward graduation.
The school includes dozens of indoor and outdoor areas, hundreds of students, interactive props, and vehicles. Relationships, popularity, and a combat system inspired by wrestling shape daily life alongside classes. Characters can be selected from hundreds of presets or customized in an editor. Camera options provide several viewing angles, while additional controllers can join during play to assist or interfere. After graduation, the game offers another role as a teacher, with teaching replacing student life as the central challenge.
