1、Overview (Short & Long Description)
- Short Description:
A roguelike deck-building game themed around China's Gaokao exam. Balance time, stamina, and subject review across repeated "exam levels," using deck construction and strategy to change your fate.
Long Description:
In Wang Xi Gui Xiang Xuexi (Aim for the Osmanthus & Dreams of Learning), exams are the battles, your score is your damage, and knowledge points are your cards. You will build your unique academic "build" from scratch: making event choices, constructing your deck, and managing your mentality... every card choice impacts your performance in the next exam. Inspired by the real rhythm of Chinese high school life, the game incorporates nearly a hundred random events like "Pre-Exam Anxiety," "Deskmate Support," "Homeroom Teacher Talk," "Parent-Teacher Meeting," and "Pop Quizzes." You must manage your limited Time and Stamina: focus on high-yield subjects, patch weaknesses, or stick to your core strategy. Adapt your deck and attribute allocation to face different "Exam Bosses" (Monthly Exams / Joint Exams / Municipal Exams / Provincial Exams / The Gaokao). Each successful run unlocks new cards. Failure is not the end—it's merely a necessary step on your path to a higher score next time.
2、Key Features
- Academic Build Crafting: Various cards with different attributes allow for diverse construction paths and synergistic effects.
- Exams as Levels: Face multi-phase "Boss" encounters with unique mechanics and objectives, from Monthly Exams and Quizzes to Mock Joint Exams and the final Gaokao, each presenting different question tendencies and test pressures.
- Dual Resources - Time & Stamina: Manage "Scheduling" and "Stamina" simultaneously. How you allocate study time, choose to cram, or even slack off will alter your performance and final score.
- Random School Events: Fluctuating class rankings, teacher praise/criticism, contest sprints, and storyline branches involving clubs or your deskmate present risky and rewarding choices.
- Authentic Test Feel & Mechanization: Real Gaokao questions are integrated, transforming study and exam actions into card mechanics and buffs. Easy to learn strategically, with ample depth to explore.
- Light Narrative Companionship: Lightweight text strings together your preparation journey, respecting the real emotions involved while using a warm tone to avoid excessive anxiety.
3、Why It Stands Out
- The authentic atmosphere of Chinese high school exam preparation is abstracted into a clear, playable, and highly replayable card game loop.
- The "score as damage" system design makes each card tell a story of growth and trade-offs.•
- Non-linear narrative events blend realistic texture with gameplay, being both grounded and strategically deep.
4、Target Audience
- Players who enjoy deck-building roguelikes like Slay the Spire, Monster Train, or Inscryption.
- Those interested in school/academic themes, willing to rediscover that feeling of "giving it your all" through strategy and narrative.
- Anyone wanting to experience the tension and成就感 (sense of accomplishment) where "every point counts."
5、Content Notes
- Contains light depictions of exam pressure and school competition themes.
- No blood/gore, no horror, no gambling, no collection of real personal privacy data.
6、Roadmap
- New Card Pool: Expand the depth of deck archetypes and builds.
- New Events: Add more class stories and family interaction storylines.
- Leaderboards & Challenges: Monthly themed challenges, weekly seeds with special rules.
