Corruption Academy is a text-based HTML game by Ligayaa that puts you in charge as a university dean or director at a failing historic school. You use unorthodox management methods to lift the crumbling campus toward collegiate success, while attracting scrutiny from people who may uncover deeper secrets. The game blends school setting and corruption with hiring, classrooms, and student council policies.
Development remains ongoing, and the current build is v0.3.1, released August 21, 2023. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and iOS, is in English, and is uncensored. The latest changelog entry reports a fix for a crash that occurred when starting the story. Earlier work in the 0.3.0 update advanced the narrative to the player’s first meaningful choice, added two main characters, and introduced student council policies that grant stat bonuses, along with teacher hiring and classroom buying systems.
Developer's description
Take over as the new dean (or Director) of a failing university. Using your own rather unorthodox methods, take a historic school from crumbling ruins to the new model of collegiate success. You'll have to be wary, though. With your newfound success, there'll always be those who try to dig a little deeper. Perhaps there's something deeper for even you to discover
v.0.3.1
Fixed crash on story start.
v0.3.0
-Continued the story up to the player's first meaningful choice.
- Introduced two new main characters into the world.
-Implemented the student council system that controls the policies a player is allowed to pick for the school. Policies will be fleshed out at a later time to include events, but for now provide stat bonuses.

- Classes begin at morning, stop at noon, and resume to late afternoon.
Implemented Policies system
- Policies influence what is allowed and what's not allowed at school. (ex: School uniforms, punishment, etc.)

All these 5-star ratings are just rating an UI which is nice but honestly, it's not THAT good. This framework for a game does have promise though, I guess we'll see if it becomes more than that.
