High School Simulator

There are so many games that go unplayed on the Play store. I always browse the New Releases section to see if anything good shows up. I recently ran into a game called "High School Simulator" created by KUMA Games.

This game left me in such a state of bewilderment that I knew I had to share it with the community. Here is a little review of what I experienced.

Immediately the game gives me nostalgic flashbacks with its similarities of my own high school experience. You start the school day off as all of your fellow students hustle to get to class in time. You’ll get to see all of the usual groups like the preps, the loners, the bullies, the kids with antlers and the cat-people. Ah yes, it’s all coming back to me now.

So before I do anything else, I need to get ready for school. So I’m sure you’re all familiar with the routine. Step one: Grab a weapon. Just like any high school, a selection of weapons is laid out for you by the entrance. Select the one that you like the most.

After getting armed and ready for school, it turns out I’ve become late for class. All of my classmates have disappeared into the school and I did not see where they went. Then out of nowhere this massive cat shows up and casually strolls into the school as if this were normal.

I begin to explore the school grounds to see if I can figure out where I’m supposed to go. The school building has maybe twenty floors or so. I search them and I'm unable to figure out where my class is. After some hopeless searching about, I'm able to find the gym where several students are clearly out of dress code.

Before I am able to participate in any sports, all of the students leave class for lunch time. I finally meet up with my classmates as they exit the school building and head to the cafeteria across the campus.

The characters in the game are unique to say the least. I don’t know why but half of them are dressed as animals. High School has changed a bit since I’ve gone.

I’m still a bit confused about what I’m supposed to do with the weapon so I decide to test it out. The controls take a minute to get used to but they aren’t bad compared to some other Android games that I’ve played.

So after using my weapon a bit the school decides to call in the military to come take control of the situation. Dozens of soldiers come rushing into the school armed with guns. They look over the dead bodies and seem confused.

I walked up to one group of soldiers and slice them with my katana. At this point the words “Broken Heart” appear on the screen and the game ends… What?

I’m not quite sure what I’ve just played but you really have to experience this game for yourself. Each new level of the game is a new day. You can play through the game and see what happens but I'm not sure what the goal is. Overall the game is a 10/10 and wins the Oscar for best costume design.

You can download it from the Play store for free.
