About This Game

Save tennis, go to a fancy school, and rizz up your doubles partner!

🎾 About

Long ago, humanity was in turmoil. There were constant wars, resulting in sadness, famine, and death. Before all hope was lost, The Goddess descended to Earth and gifted mankind with the solution to all of their problems: Tennis.

You play as NATE, a college freshman attending Tensington Academy. He meets a ball fairy, Servie, who gifts him with the power to talk to tennis balls and perform extraordinary TENERGY skills. Over his stay at the Academy, he'll have to juggle his studies, dates with classmates, but most importantly... save Tennis!

Romanceable Characters

Get to know the unusual students at the Academy, and go on dates during your free time. Improving your relationship with someone also improves your abilities during battle, so it's always a good idea to make friends!

Improving your relationship with one of your classmates may lead to them inviting you to the Moonlit Court and propose to be your Doubles Partner!

Planned Accessibility Features

This is an idea from Laura Kate Dale to create a new industry standard. By listing planned accessibility features, groups of people don't have to wait until the game is released to know if they'll be able to play it. If there is an accessibility feature you'd like to request, e-mail us or post in our Discord. You can also find the list on our Accessibility Page on our Website.

• FULLY BLIND ACCESSIBLE - This is something I worked on with Britt Dye at Whitethorn - we had an ambitious goal to create a new industry standard of making RPGs blind-accessible. (If a small indie can do it, so can AAA!) I plan on continuing this work with Tennis Academy, and will do my best to create an action RPG that blind players can enjoy.
