The Dangerous Back-to-School Season

About

The Dangerous Back-to-School Season is a pixel-art RPG that turns enrollment week into a digital battlefield. You play as a student navigating school halls and computer labs, where every interaction carries a risk of phishing scams, malware infections, or data breaches. The game blends point-and-click exploration with timed mini-games that test your ability to spot suspicious links, secure devices, and defuse social engineering attempts. Dialogue choices shape your character's relationships with classmates and teachers, some of whom may be hiding ulterior motives behind their backpacks and homework assignments. What sets it apart is its focus on practical cybersecurity skills wrapped in a lighthearted school setting. Players learn to recognize real-world threats through humor and consequence-driven scenarios. Early access feedback from educators highlights its potential as a tool for teaching digital safety. The game’s small size and self-contained story make it a brisk but memorable experience, particularly for players who enjoy problem-solving over combat.
