University of Progress

A visual novel set at a fictional college in San Francisco that claims to believe in second chances. The University of Progress welcomes those who were failed by the system, those who feel like outsiders, and anyone who can pay the tuition. In this world, the promise of a fresh start collides with a charged campus full of hidden motives, fractured loyalties, and choices that echo long after they’re made.

You follow Millard Wilson, a 20-year-old second-year student who embodies the game’s sardonic, weary tone. An artfully imperfect figure in a world of highs and lows, Millard questions why he even applied—knowing debt and unemployment often follow from every turn. College becomes a stage for shifting allegiances, risky experiments, and opportunities to mess with the system—and with people—each choice shaping your path in unexpected ways.

Explore a campus where each decision opens new doors—and new risks. You’ll navigate intimate and fraught interactions, from romantic sparks to tense rivalries, while confronting the consequences of your actions. The game invites you to:

• Meet potential partners of varied orientations in flirtations and relationships.
• Play with insecure peers and challenge power dynamics on campus.
• Skirt danger in high-stakes social encounters, including encounters with a notorious Tumblr-driven crowd.
• Take daring, risky, or risky-sounding paths—some humorous, some deadly serious.
• Deal with everyday student life: reading with a book-loving companion, studying with roommates, and navigating emotional fallout as you question your reasons for choosing this path.
• Make choices that can lead to dramatic outcomes, including moral dilemmas and chaotic twists.

University of Progress is a mature, choice-driven experience that uses a campus setting to explore themes of second chances, personal agency, and the consequences of chasing a better future. Choose your route, shape your endings, and discover what progress truly means.
