Student Bodies is a life simulation and visual novel where you start as a new student at Crossunder Academy and rise to become Class President. Join the Student Council, shape school policies, build relationships, and leave your mark on the academy. Make choices that affect your reputation, your friendships, and the future of the school itself.
🏫 School Life & Student Council
• 1. Dynamic School Setting: Crossunder Academy is a vibrant, ever-evolving environment where each in-game week brings new events, from cultural festivals and sports days to exam periods. Your decisions as Class President influence how these events unfold and how the student body responds.
• 2. Student Council Authority: As a member of the Student Council, you can propose and vote on new school rules, manage club budgets, and mediate student disputes. Your leadership style—whether democratic or authoritative—shapes your effectiveness and popularity.
• 3. Club and Policy Impact: Although no initial clubs interested you, once in power, you can revive dormant clubs or even create new ones. Allocate resources, schedule activities, and see how each club’s success or failure affects the school’s atmosphere and your stats.
👥 Characters & Relationships
• 1. Diverse Cast of Characters: Interact with a variety of students and teachers, each with unique personalities, backstories, and schedules. Forge friendships, rivalries, or romances through dialogue choices and shared activities.
• 2. Relationship-Driven Quests: Help classmates with personal problems, tutor struggling students, or support teachers in improving class morale. Completing character-specific quests unlocks new story branches, special abilities, or council endorsements.
• 3. Reputation System: Your actions are tracked through a reputation system encompassing traits like empathy, integrity, and influence. Your reputation opens up unique dialogue options and determines which endings you can achieve.
🧩 Gameplay & Mechanics
• 1. Time and Resource Management: Balance your time between attending classes, fulfilling council duties, participating in extracurriculars, and socializing. Efficient scheduling is key to achieving your goals before the school year ends.
• 2. Decision-Making and Consequences: Every choice matters. What you prioritize—whether it’s renovating the library, cutting sports funding, or exposing a teacher’s misconduct—can lead to dramatically different outcomes and multiple endings.
• 3. Mini-Games and Activities: Engage in a variety of mini-games, such as debate tournaments (influence-based puzzles), exam prep (trivia challenges), and event planning (resource allocation tasks). Succeeding in these boosts your attributes and standing.
🌟 Unique Features & Replayability
• 1. Branching Narrative with Political Nuance: The game doesn’t just simulate school life—it introduces light political strategy. Form alliances, negotiate with factions (e.g., the sports team bloc, the art club coalition), and campaign to maintain your presidency.
• 2. Hidden Stories and Secrets: Beyond the main plot, uncover hidden side stories—like a teacher’s mysterious past or a student’s secret talent—that add depth to the world and offer rare rewards.
• 3. New Game+ and Unlockables: After completing the game, start a New Game+ with retained traits, allowing you to access previously locked content, pursue different romance paths, and achieve the “perfect” ending.
