Exchange Program: New Roommate puts you in the shoes of a talented student from a poor background, winning a life-changing scholarship to study abroad. Living with a host family, you balance studies and work until fate intervenes—a female exchange student moves into your room, sparking a story of shared struggles and growing connections.
A Realistic Dive into Student Life Abroad
Experience the authentic challenges and opportunities of an exchange program, from cultural adjustments to personal growth, all set in a prestigious high school environment.
1. You play as a gifted but financially struggling protagonist, navigating a new country with limited resources, which adds depth to everyday decisions like budgeting for meals or prioritizing studies.
2. The host family provides a supportive yet minimalistic living situation, with a small room that becomes the central stage for intimacy and conflict as the story unfolds.
3. A part-time job mechanic introduces time management elements, forcing you to weigh work hours against social and academic commitments, mirroring real-life pressures faced by international students.
Unexpected Bonds and Roommate Dynamics
The arrival of a new roommate transforms your solitary experience into a complex relationship built on proximity, trust, and shared circumstances.
1. Initially strangers, you and your female roommate must negotiate privacy and boundaries in a confined space, leading to awkward yet heartfelt interactions that evolve over time.
2. Her background—similar to yours but with unique twists—creates opportunities for mutual support, such as sharing tips on adapting to the school or coping with homesickness.
3. Key story moments explore themes of empathy and rivalry, as your choices determine whether you become allies, friends, or something deeper, all while dealing with the host family's watchful eyes.
Player-Driven Narrative and Consequences
Your decisions shape every aspect of the story, offering multiple pathways that reflect the unpredictability of young adulthood and cross-cultural exchanges.
1. Dialogue choices during conversations with the roommate or host family influence relationship meters, unlocking exclusive scenes like study sessions or emotional confessions.
2. A branching plot system ensures that major decisions—such as how to split chores or handle misunderstandings—lead to different endings, from bittersweet goodbyes to lasting bonds.
3. Replayability is enhanced by hidden triggers, such as secret job opportunities or optional events, encouraging players to explore alternative outcomes based on their priorities and values.
