Campus Story
About Campus Story
Campus Story is a cozy management game with a chunky pixel look where an empty field becomes the best school in the league. Every month the school saves itself, and the campus fills with tiny people moving through four seasons, day and night cycles, and the buildings you place.
Students are at the heart of everything. Each one carries 12 stats and a hidden limit for each stat, so every decision about classrooms, teachers, and timetables shapes how far a student can go. Big calendar events drive the year forward: the athletic meet in October and the final exam in December pit your school against nine rivals. Winning earns titles, fills the trophy hall, and unlocks monuments for the campus. Design a school crest and uniform to make the place your own.
