Practical field guide

Understand the choice before you live with it.

01

Start with identity, then read the math

Race sets the body’s baseline and signature mechanics. Class is the Academy’s public assignment—stats, equipment, skill tree, and social expectation. A Trait / Talent is the personal advantage that keeps the same class from producing the same person twice.

Students in the margins

The archive never sits completely still.

Hover to catch the field-note gold. Click a student to ready their combat pose; click again when the coast is clear.

Notes that appear in the margins

The island notices repeat readers.

Day map correction

The Academy is not the default.

You cannot simply attend the Main Academy on Day 1. Days 4 and 7 are the two moments when the route draws everything back toward it.

After-school margin

Check on Theo without being asked.

One of the earliest relationship routes begins as an ordinary after-school conversation. That is precisely why it matters.

An AI world worth documenting

A dream made playable.

ClassWarfare began as Leo Ross’s passion project: a game designed without a coding background, then shaped through three months of prompting, testing, rebuilding, and making judgment calls. Even after every file on the computer was accidentally deleted once, the world came back. The gift was practically handed over for a fee—and Leo took full advantage of it.

The result is a small world where every hour matters, every action changes something, and even a dead end becomes part of the ending. ClassWarfare is now on Steam.
