Prison Architect but for a Private school. 8/10, I just wish there was a College/Uni version or more dlc similar to how PA did.

Oct. 2024

I love this game it is very addicting and also useful for learning how to design in the future.This game features details about the school and how it gets money and the pros and cons about it.It is useful for learning how every school works around the world

July 2024

The school version of Prison Architect and Rimworld in terms of graphics and mechanics, but way less complex and with way less content and replayability. Would love to see a sequel of this where the premise is expanded upon as I think the idea has a lot more potential than what the game ended up being.
