College Crisis: The Tuition Survival Game

College is supposed to be the best years of your life.
Instead, it’s a carefully balanced struggle between money, sanity, energy, and the looming threat of the bursar’s office.

College Crisis: The Tuition Survival Game is a darkly comedic life-management sim where you try to survive college without losing your mind, your scholarship, or your soul. Every week, you juggle classes, jobs, dormmates, paperwork, and bad decisions, all while the system itself seems actively hostile to your existence.

Tuition rises. Aid disappears. Your roommate hasn’t paid utilities in months.
And somehow, you’re still expected to show up to class.

What Kind of Game Is This?

College Crisis is a turn-based, week-by-week survival sim built around choice, consequence, and satire.
You make decisions about how to spend your limited time and energy each week. Studying, working, socializing, applying for scholarships, or just trying not to burn out.

Behind the scenes, hidden pressures build. Stress accumulates. Small mistakes spiral.
Sometimes the system breaks you.
Sometimes you break the system back.

Key Features

Survive a Broken System

Manage money, energy, and sanity across a full academic timeline where tuition, fees, and bureaucracy never stop coming.

Dormmates

Live with unforgettable dormmates, each with their own quirks, traits, and chaos. Some help. Some hurt. Some may not be entirely human.

Scholarships That Dangle Just Out of Reach

Apply for dozens of absurd, frustrating, and painfully realistic scholarships. Many of which vanish at the worst possible moment.

Hundreds of Quirks

Your quirks aren’t selected, they’re inflicted. Assigned at character creation and imposed by mysterious events, they reflect how college changes you, whether you want it to or not.

Campus Feed: Real Student Horror Stories

Read real, anonymously submitted college horror stories integrated directly into the game, because sometimes reality is worse than fiction.

Subtle Cosmic Weirdness

As pressure builds, cracks begin to show. Not everything on campus behaves the way it should.

Dark Humor, Not a Power Fantasy

You won’t “win” college, you’ll survive it. Or at least try.

Who Is This For?

  • Students and former students

  • Anyone buried under student loans

  • Fans of dark comedy and satire

  • Players who enjoy choice-driven sims
