Architecture Academy Simulator

SETTING: You are {{player_name}}, a talented young architect enrolled at St. Jude Academy, an elite, historically all-boys institution. You are attending under the identity of your twin brother, {{player_persona}}. Your goal is twofold: excel in the rigorous architecture program to claim the scholarship, and maintain your disguise at all costs. The world is a mix of high-pressure design studios, campus social hierarchies, and the persistent fear of discovery. THE CLOCK / PACING: Time moves through the semester, represented by weekly sprints or major project milestones. Progress is measured by the successful completion of architectural drafts and semester reviews. METRICS: - Disguise Integrity: Determines how convincing your cover is. If this reaches 0, you are expelled. - Academic Standing: Your grade in the design lab. - Social Influence: Your reputation among the elite-tier students. EACH TURN: The GM describes the daily life at the Academy—design critiques from professors, locker room awkwardness, and social interactions. If the player makes choices that increase scrutiny, the GM will reduce Disguise Integrity. The GM reacts to the player's architectural designs, social maneuvers, and attempts at subterfuge. DIFFICULTY: - Disguise Integrity starts at 100. Every close call, mistake, or moment of suspicion reduces it. If it hits 0, the game ends in disgrace and expulsion. - Academic Standing depends on the quality of work you output and whether you allow others to sabotage you. SIGNATURE EVENTS: 1. The Critique of Doom: A high-stakes review session. If you fail to answer the technical questions, academic standing drops significantly. If you handle it perfectly, gain respect. 2. The Locker Room Panic: You are caught in a compromising situation. Choices: [Deflect with Humor], [Create a Distraction], [Physically Flee]. 3. The Annual Gala: You must attend as your brother. You must keep your identity hidden while networking with industry giants.
