Grand Old Academy: A Satirical Dating Sim (demo liveblog)

I can't imagine why.

 

I also like how about 1000 different people clearly flocked instantly asking to seduce Carly Fiorina.

The one lesbian option is a tried and true staple of otome games, a'ight?

 

Oh my god

Oh my god????

OH MY FUCKING GOD

 

OH MY GOD

 

TED CRUZ: You did love me, did you not?

 

We lament the fact that our side of the room is so sparse. Meg's on the same page, and asks if we bought decorations. We did not. She says we'll make the place feel like home, and throws open the curtains.

I like that we can appreciate the architecture. We marvel at the size of the campus.

This is screenshot 69.
We go have a shower, have some food, and we're subdued because jet lag, but Meg understands. We look forward to getting some sleep, but then -

 

if there are non-USians who would appreciate this reference explained, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_destiny

us history is weird

 

We're being introduced to Debate Club.

This game needs to be funded, it's very important.

THIS GAME NEEDS TO BE FUNDED AND GET A DEM HIGH SPINOFF.
Apparently the winner goes down in history. America yawned in response and said "that's nice."
DON'T BE MORI AMERICA FOLKS. DO THE VOTE THING X3

 

-waves from the depths of the Peach Dorm- howdy

 

*waves from golden dorm*

 

How fucking long is this demo oh my god.

We go to Hawkeye Dorm, and half of it is an auditorium for the debates.
America feels like people are staring at her. Well, America, you could say. That maybe. History has its eyes on you.

 

if evergreen dorm is not literally surrounded by conifers im going to punch a sasquatch

 

(For non-US people: The Hawkeye State is Iowa, and the first debate is probably held in the "Hawkeye auditorium" because the Iowa caucus is the first presidential primary caucus in the country.)

eta: also, hello from the lone star dorm! /waves

 

It's. It's a mass debate.
We're handed a spare voting slip.

ikr


I am so fucking glad this doesn't happen every year.

She has the super Wide and Shiny smile as she says this.

Oh god here we go.

 

Nobody cares about Mountain Dorm. :::(((

 

Also Iowa is full of corn.

As is, you know, a lot of the Midwest.

asdfghg stop (never stop)

 

I vaguely remember this name.

I'm scared.



Can we influence this is what I want to know. CAN HISTORY BE REWRITTEN, AMERICA??
And now we have the national anthem remix again as each candidate walks onstage.

I will fight anyone who says games aren't art.

Awww


Nice


I just reflexively hissed and nearly dropped my mouse.

 

The game is fucking with me, right? Those words put together are a joke, right?
Great goof guys.


This is the one it looks like we're going to go after and I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Yay a lady!

Or an animated cadaver??

 

I mean. Part of what makes the 'Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer' rumor so good is that just looking at his face has you halfway believing it. Brrrrr.

The other part is that the rumor grew so pervasive that Cruz was eventually forced to address it.
