Story description

Your first week at university: a tiny dorm room, a roommate with forty plants and a campus with no obvious map.

Orientation Week is an interactive slice-of-life story about starting university, from the first nervous day to the first moment you feel you belong.

A first term

  • Find your feet at the orientation fair, the lecture hall, the library and the canteen queue.
  • Make friends in a shared kitchen, a seminar and a society that offers free pizza.
  • Get through a first essay, a first flat party and a first call home.

Zainab keeps forty-one plants and makes tea for the corridor. Declan, the resident adviser, knows where everything is. Dr. Arora says nobody understands a subject until they teach it. Everyone else is different every time you play.

Warm, funny and slightly overwhelmed

Friendships and small events, with no plot and no villain.

The tea is cold and the fire drill is at three. Where do you go first?
