Overview
School Years is a visual novel series adapted from a real story, presented as a journey through three major life stages: high school, university, and the responsibilities of entering adulthood. This is Episode 1, focusing on the high school chapter and setting the tone for the rest of the series.

Episode 1: High School Life in China
In this first installment you will experience the life of a high school student in China. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of an examination-oriented education system in senior high schools, where the pressure to secure a bright future often coincides with a gradual neglect of emotional awareness. The setting reflects how academics, expectations, and social dynamics can shape a young person’s days, voice, and outlook.

The story centers on the protagonist's last year, a time filled with formative moments that leave a lasting impression. Through daily routines, conversations, and the small moments that punctuate ordinary school life, you witness how friendships, rivalries, mentors, and personal discoveries accumulate to form a deeper understanding of self. The emotional currents are nuanced: anticipation for what lies ahead, concern about performance, and the quiet questions about identity that emerge when the students are pushed to perform and to decide who they want to be.

Structure and Purpose
This part of the narrative functions as both a complete, self-contained chapter and a careful setup for what comes next. It acts as an “appetizer” for the series, offering a tight, exciting glimpse into the challenges and rewards of adolescence within a highly structured educational environment. The high school arc is designed to lead naturally into the later episodes, where the story expands into university life and the realities of stepping into the broader world.

Atmosphere and Experience
Experience a grounded, human story rooted in real events, told through the intimate lens of interactive storytelling. The tone balances reflective moments with engaging, sometimes vivid scenes that capture the texture of school corridors, expectations, and the emotional spectrum of teenage life. School Years invites players to pause, observe, and feel as the protagonist navigates the last year of high school and the impulses that propel a young person toward the next chapter. Welcome to this journey, and to a story that begins in China’s senior high schools and promises much more to come.
