Student Secrets

Even though the developer states that all images were created using AI, it is often easy to recognize the real-life figures used as the basis. There are similarities, yet the images are altered enough that they cannot strictly be classified as deepfakes. I don't mind that at all. As for the story, it follows the usual formula for a scenario involving a principal corrupting his female students. On the plus side, it isn't an all-girls school; that aspect helps the game stand out a bit from the crowd. Personally, I already have plenty of ideas swirling in my head about what could be done with this concept. Regarding image quality, it is unfortunately a bit inconsistent. By and large, the game maintains realistic proportions, so the characters fit their surroundings well. Unfortunately, some images appear slightly blurry or washed out—looking too gray compared to the background or other characters during dialogue scenes. This is particularly noticeable in scenes featuring Ira and Cara. Some load times are a bit too long—for instance, when the "Black Box" is used. Since this appears frequently, having to wait five seconds or more each time eventually becomes annoying. Decisions aren't time-constrained so far; the order in which you carry out actions doesn't matter. Future updates might introduce a schedule, forcing you to choose which girl you want to harass at any given time. Otherwise, you could simply sit in your office and knock out twenty tasks in an hour just to clear every quest step for every character. All in all, I’m giving it 4 stars—though it was a close call. There is definitely room for improvement.

I think this project is off to a very promising start . Even in its early state, it already shows an interesting direction that could grow into something truly engaging. The core ideas feel solid and offer a glimpse of the potential depth and personality the final game might have. What excites me most is seeing how these early mechanics and concepts will evolve over time. With continued refinement, expanded features, and a bit more polish, this could develop into a genuinely enjoyable game. I’m genuinely looking forward to future updates and watching this project take shape.

Student Secrets is a pretty poor showing, at least as of v0.3 You play as Max Mirror (yes, it’s a dumb name - no, you can’t change it), the principal of a college full of twenty-somethings, aka a university. But Engulfed , I hear you thinking, universities don’t have principals – schools do. Is this one of those games that is set in a high school, but the dev tries to pretend it’s a college for age reasons? Kinda. The backgrounds and ages of the characters clearly say “university”. But the dynamics, personalities, and behaviours of all the characters (including staff) all shout “I have the maturity of a fifteen-year-old”. Case in point, the bitchy hot girl trope gets sent to detention. At a university. Let that sink in for second. Anyway, after a brief tour Max enters his new office/prison cell where he immediately discovers a laptop docking station in a drawer that can apparently hack into any cell phone just by plugging it in. This piece of NSA equipment was left by the previous principal who used it to spy on student’s phones. How did he get hold of said phones? Well apparently this college has a strict “no phones” rule where any student found to be possessing a phone on the college grounds can have it confiscated, and yes, that is as stupid as it sounds. This is the central premise of the Student Secrets. You, in your capacity as college principal (read: horny teen boy stuck in a man’s body) immediately decide to collect student phones so you can peruse their photos for jerk-off and blackmail material. Max spends his time wandering aimlessly through the college halls, encountering girls at random, and having pointless conversations with them that go absolutely nowhere. Then he confiscates a phone (or someone else does and brings it to him, because player agency is for pussies) before being bitched out by a staff member for no reason. Because even the teachers act like high school students. Especially Max, whose internal monologue reads like an incel’s 4chan post. And that’s not when he’s getting bullied by his students. What about visuals? Well the game uses a realistic AI model, and the characters are generally on model. They look fine. They’re just not attractive either, which is a problem. The dev seems to have a thing for flat chests and slightly weird looking faces. As far as spank material goes, there are a handful of nude pics, and that’s about it. If you're looking for a good wank, look elsewhere. So you’ve got an immature and unlikable MC behaving like a sleaze, getting pushed around by students, spying on their selfies, in a setting where the gap between how old everyone is supposed to be and how old they act might as well be the fucking Grand Canyon. And the game can't fall back on its looks because the girls just aren't that attractive, and are presented with all the sex appeal of a progressive ad campaign. Can this game be salvaged? Not without a major rewrite to make all the baffling things make sense. The whole confiscating people’s phones thing just does not work in a setting where the students are supposed to be adults. Nobody is handing over their phone to a teacher at college. Nobody gets detention at college. And the college president (not principal) would have basically nothing to do with students at anything resembling a real university. You could make this work if the setting was a high school, but that would make the student’s ages a problem. At the very least, the adult characters would need to be rewritten to think and act as actual adults. I just don’t see that happening. And given how little spank material there is so far, I don't know why you'd bother. Even if the game's concept sounds interesting to you, the execution falls completely flat.

It's really just a preview at the moment. The first girl we have to see is utterly gross, a complete turn off, but even despite that - this is a good start The others look attractive, the backgrounds and girls blend quite well without looking like a complete paper theatre and the writing and UI aren't jarring and clunky
