About This Demo

You have already lived through the youth football system once.

You watched talented children stopped by paperwork, while ordinary prospects appeared in the starting lineup because “someone made a call.” Now you have spent your savings on a youth club with little more than a license, an office, and several old debts.

The question is simple: now that you are sitting behind the desk, will you change the system—or become part of it?

China Youth Academy is a darkly comic management simulation about youth football. Manage finances, training, squads, matches, player agreements, parents, coaches, registration permits, and public opinion. Decisions that look harmless today may return weeks or seasons later as bills, complaints, investigations, or unexpected opportunities.

[Included in the Demo]

• Purchase your first youth club and keep the remaining money as operating funds.

• Play the opening “Old School Team Reunion” storyline.

• Reunite eleven former pupils to form a complete U13 starting squad.

• Inspect positions, ability stars, attributes, scouting status, and agreements.

• Schedule technical, tactical, physical, mental, and academic training.

• Set formations, starters, substitutes, and player duties.

• Play a complete friendly using the minute-by-minute match engine.

• Use touchline shouts, tactical adjustments, role changes, and substitutions.

• Handle parents, coaches, registration, contracts, and administrative incidents.

• Balance training fees, scholarships, development allowances, and youth wages.

• Follow emails, news reports, and industry arguments written with dark humor.

[Demo Scope]

This demo focuses on the opening story, U13 squad building, training management, and the match system. Long-term management, additional cities, complete seasons, U16 and U19 squads, national competitions, deeper scouting networks, and multi-season events are reserved for—or will be expanded in—the full game.

Save compatibility between the demo and the full release will be confirmed closer to launch.

[Key Features]

Not every child receives a salary. Many families pay training fees. Not every permit arrives on time, and not every “suggestion” is merely a suggestion.

You may follow the proper process and accept the cost. You may spend connections and accumulate favors. Or you may take a high-risk shortcut, enjoy a temporary advantage, and wait for the investigation email to arrive several days later.

Match results are not decided before kickoff. Ability, positional suitability, fitness, morale, tactics, substitutions, goalkeeping, and unpredictable events shape every match. Strong teams can collapse, but every upset must have an understandable cause.

There is no single correct path through youth football—only the price you are willing to pay.
