My Time at Portia developer Pathea Games has announced Let's School, a school management sim that tasks you with becoming the best headmaster you can possibly be. It is due out for PC in early 2023.
Incredibly, this project started as a prototype by one person, and then the rest of the studio loved it so much they enthusiastically got on board. “Let’s School is a bit of a departure from what the world knows us for, but after being prototyped by our producer Lanka for 18 months everyone at the studio just fell in love with the project,” brand manager Alice Zhou said. “Since then the team has grown substantially to a handful of developers and we’re been blown away by what they’ve been able to achieve. Any fans of management sims are going to get a big kick out of this one.” Check out the first trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
In Let's School, you'll both build your house of learning and manage it. The goal is to get every student's grades up to their fullest potential so that you can earn more funding for the next school year and keep your momentum going. Pathea also says you can "choose what associations, sports meetings, morning exercises and other activities are available in-school to enrich or enrage students - all of whom have their own individual preferences and talents."
And like in any sim worth its salt, there will be random catastrophes to deal with in its story-driven campaign. Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.
