Gameplay
The player starts by studying for the SAT/ACT; each time the option is clicked they become 2% more ready. With each passing day they receive homework assignments and tests to study for; as they do this they gradually lose their readiness for the SAT/ACT. If they do not complete their homework or study adequately for tests their grades drop, which will result in their parents disowning them (losing the game). There are also other time-consuming obstacles like after-school SELF and hanging out with friends. Repercussions that will also eventually lead to losing are suffered if they opt out of these things, but if they do them they lose valuable time to study.
There are three different modes: default, a mode with a censored name and the description "Experience firsthand the detrimental effects of technological distractions by losing 1-6 hours every day to dog videos on Instagram, like fellow Gunn student [redacted]" and a bedtime mode in which the player is forced to go to sleep at midnight.
