A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Bound to College LITE

You're back at an elite all-boys college. Your grades are already slipping, you've got a new roommate you didn't choose, and the Headmaster has clearly clocked exactly how much leverage that gives him.

It's a story about ambition, loyalty, and wanting things you're not supposed to say out loud. Every relationship here costs you something and pays out something else, and which one you get is on you.

Julian's hiding a secret that isn't his to tell. Ned just wants a friend and somehow ends up somewhere else entirely. Vincent runs the soccer team like his own kingdom. Ron won't talk about his past, but he never takes off his grandmother's cross. And the Headmaster is using his leverage for his own gains.

AI usage:

While I do use AI, I don't want you to get the impression this is just AI-generated slop.  So let me be completely honest about it. Since I am no programmer, I appreciate the coding help. The voice-over and the multiple translations woud be impossible for me to provide otherwise in a free game. All images are made in DAZ studio currently. 

Example: 

The videos where the headmaster talks are made with AI. His voice is AI generated already. I uploaded the hand-made image, and let the AI do the lip-synchronization.


There are similar  other examples, but most animations are indeed not AI-generated, but rendered frame by frame. 

I understand many people have issues with AI content, and most of the time I feel so myself. AI slop is everywhere these days. If you have a different opinion in this matter I totally understand and that's why it is important for me to be transparent here.

So the bottom line is this: Yes, I use AI to improve the game and add features and quality I can't achieve otherwise. 

I always prefer manual labor and my intention is to use AI only to improve quality, not bypass real effort.
