Starting the game, I had to ask myself: "Is someone kidding me?"
I mean, just look at the cover image they present the game on the eshop. I would be ashamed to give this to someone for free in 2026, let alone ask them to buy the game. Luckily, I played it so you don't have to. Unless you want to. But don't.
Believe it or not, you are a teacher in a high school and you have to deal with daily activities that include: examining students, hall monitoring, judging singing competitions, leading physical education, and even going on trips with students.
One of the students set himself on fire.
Most of your interaction will revolve around a student - a delinquent named Jeremy Lanz. You will monitor his grades, catch him smoking in the toilet during recess, draw graffiti around the school, save him from a bear, and maybe save him from a suicide jump from the roof of the school.
Jeremy is sick from driving, and I am sick from this game.
It all sounds interesting, but the execution is, to put it mildly, desperate. You walk the corridors and have meaningless conversations with the students and listen to their problems, from the machine that swallowed a coin but didn't throw out the cola to witnessing bullying. Sometimes you'll be presented with multiple options to solve the problem, but they honestly don't make a difference.
All student skins are obviously stolen from somewhere and the textures are awful, so you'll meet Deadpool, a half-naked goth girl and a witch from some RPG. And if that's all, some characters are repeated several times, so you'll see a girl who runs around school all the time (she says, running is her life), and you look out the window and see her running outside in the yard at the same time. No-clipping is active on characters so you can pass through students as a ghost, but you also can't pass through pillars and walls. Come on, at least they set boundaries somewhere.
If you think you've seen these characters somewhere before - you certainly have.
Movement is desperate, with the left analogue you "aim" and turn, and with the right you move forwards and backwards and sideways. Sensitivity cannot be reduced, so every time you touch the left stick, you will start spinning uncontrollably in all directions. Also, it's possible to hold up or down and completely flip the camera and play upside down - a more fun part of the whole experience.
This is at least more challenging to play.
One of the tasks is when your teacher football team plays against the students. It's a good idea for you to aim the ball while running and hit it towards the goal. Easier said than done - I honestly couldn't even aim the field, let alone the ball.
This is the director - says a colleague: "He looks like Duke Nukem on crack"
Voice acting is, like the whole game, desperate. There is no music (except for the singing competition and the dance) and all the sounds are generic samples that were of course downloaded somewhere online. The movements of the characters are unnatural, when they dance they look like they are having epileptic seizures.
Scenes switch to each other without making any sense, at one point you will find yourself in the Twilight Zone where you will talk to a predator and a zombie policeman. And that has no effect on the game. Everything is thrown uphill and downhill.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
My favorite moment was when the game crashed.
I have never played a game this bad, and to quote a fellow reviewer: "We got this for free, but we still feel cheated."
