Answer Campus
A visual novel that takes you on a journey through a college campus to explore challenging scenarios around identity markers such as race, gender, sexuality, ableism, and more.
This is an early prototype created by first-time student developers as part of an academic game design project. It is best understood as a demo rather than a fully polished game.
The experience takes place on a fictional college campus and explores uncomfortable, real-world scenarios related to identity, including race, gender, sexuality, and ableism. Through short interactive stories, players respond to challenging moments using different approaches (supportive, diplomatic, confrontational, or disengaged) and see how those choices shape conversations and relationships.
This version reflects students learning game design, narrative systems, and interactive storytelling for the first time. As such, it is rough around the edges, limited in scope, and experimental by design.
If you’re interested in student work, experimental design, or seeing how a larger idea begins, this demo offers a candid look at the early foundations of the Answer Campus universe.
