About This Demo

PhDing in the UK (Demo) lets you try the opening hours of the full game: chasing thesis deadlines, dodging supervisor meetings, and fighting a card-battle system where every argument, viva, and conference panel is a boss fight you never signed up for.

WHAT'S IN THE DEMO

Manage your first days as a PhD student. Write, read, cook, exercise, or just stare into space, all against the clock.

Learn your first skills from your supervisors and start building a deck.

Take on a handful of early boss battles, from a desk rejection to your first major revision.

Meet a few of the 16 characters you will get to know in the full game.

The demo covers roughly the first month of the story. The full game continues with all 16 character arcs, more than a dozen travel destinations, 20 plus boss battles, and full localization in ten languages.
