school simulator 2021

What kind of person should a school produce? Most would say that it’s someone certain of their future, with a fully-formed identity  But what kind of people actually graduate? Often they’re bewildered, lacking the answers to many of their questions and an understanding of what to do next  The knowledge they get in class doesn’t always correspond to real life, and the ideals their education attempts to impart in them can be unattainable in practice  

School Simulator invites you to go back in time for an hour and try to remember what problems you weren’t able to solve back then and what you weren’t able to work through  As you sit in Literature class, you’ll reevaluate your experience at school and attempt to assess which of your mistakes formed your identity  Your story will become one of the production’s storylines — you only have to find your own reflection in the simulation  

Just like in real life, the School Simulator accounts for absent students and those who skip class (anyone can take their role, independently of whether or not they watched the show)  They’ll have their own group in the VK social network where they can keep up with news online and chat with the other students about the latest events  Feel free to keep in touch with your classmates by accessing the group every day, or limit your interaction to that single lesson
