College Crisis: The Tuition Survival Game

College Crisis is a darkly comedic life-management sim where your goal isn’t a flawless victory, but simply surviving college without losing your mind, your scholarship, or your soul. It’s a turn-based, week-by-week journey through a system that never stops asking for more—tuition rises, aid vanishes, and dorm chaos compounds every decision you make.

Each week, you juggle classes, jobs, dormmates, paperwork, and the occasional bad decision, all while the bursar’s office looms over your every move. You must balance money, energy, and sanity as you navigate a full academic timeline where bureaucracy, deadlines, and social pressures push you to the brink—and sometimes over it.

What Kind of Game Is This? A choice-driven survival sim built around consequence, satire, and a wink to the absurditites of real college life. You decide how to spend limited time and energy: study, work, socialize, apply for scholarships, or simply try not to burn out. The pressure behind the scenes accumulates, and small mistakes can spiral into larger crises. Occasionally, the system fights back—and you’ll fight back against it in your own way.

Key Features

• Survive a Broken System: Manage money, energy, and sanity across the full academic timeline as tuition, fees, and bureaucracy relentlessly keep coming.
• Dormmates: Live with unforgettable roommates, each with quirks and chaos. Some help, some hurt, and some may not be entirely human.
• Scholarships That Dangle: Apply for dozens of absurd, frustrating scholarships. Many vanish at the worst possible moment.
• Hundreds of Quirks: Quirks aren’t chosen—they’re inflicted. Assigned at character creation and intensified by mysterious events, shaping who you become in college.
• Campus Feed: Real anonymous student horror stories woven into the game so reality can be stranger than fiction.
• Subtle Cosmic Weirdness: As pressure builds, cracks appear. Not everything on campus behaves as it should.
• Dark Humor, Not a Power Fantasy: You won’t “win” college—you’ll endure it, and maybe outsmart it a little along the way.

Who Is This For?

• Students and former students seeking a sharp, satirical look at campus life.
• Anyone buried under student loans or bureaucracy who wants a darkly funny, choice-driven sim.
• Fans of dark comedy and satirical simulations who enjoy decisions with real consequences.
• Players who have whispered, “There has to be a better way than this.”

College Crisis is a game about education, debt, bureaucracy, and the quiet horror of being told this is normal. Your tuition probably just went up—and so did your stress level. Navigate it with wit, grit, and a little stubborn hope.
