Sound familiar? Think you could survive it?

You have lived at least one of these. College falls apart one small lapse at a time.

Haru bolting upright in bed near noon after checking the alarm clock

“Just one more video” and suddenly it is noon

Late-night videos, the morning snooze, a friend who will not stop calling. Eventually you cannot remember the last time you made your 8am.

Haru going pale as Ms. Sato slides a form across the registrar’s counter

Not enough attendance — and the credit is gone

Too worn out from going out, so you skip. Rough day, so you skip. By the time you stop counting the “one time won’t hurt”s, the credit has quietly vanished.

Haru buried in reference material, fighting a German paper

The paper somehow always starts the night before

Exams and deadlines pile up exactly when they should not. Some nights you watch the sun come up with the second-language textbook still open.

Five stats to keep your college life afloat

Every single choice comes back to these five numbers.

Stamina

Hits 0 and you collapse in bed — forced absence

Sanity

Hits 0 and you burn out — instant game over

Knowledge

The higher it is, the more wrong answers get eliminated on exams

Friendship

Drives romance and friendship events, and special endings

Attendance

Below 66% the credit is revoked — instant game over

Minigames with far too much personality

Get caught gaming in class and you had better be ready to grovel.

Dodging the professor’s eyes

Sneak in some mobile gaming during class. Hold to play, but only while the professor is writing on the board. Get caught and all you can do is apologise — hard.

All-nighter writing battle

On deadline night, bank progress with 10 seconds of frantic typing (on-screen keyboard on mobile).

Timing bar

Fires during negotiations, sprints for a connecting train and more. Judged as PERFECT, GOOD or MISS.

Multiple-choice quiz

Midterms and finals are 5 questions, 4 options, 10 seconds each. High knowledge eliminates wrong answers as a hint.

A cast with strong opinions

Your choices change your relationships — and their futures.

Frequently asked questions

The things first-time players usually want to know.

How credits are earned and how not to fail a class is covered in our articles on university life — real advice for real university life.

Is Unit Survival free to play?

Completely free. There is no sign-up and nothing to install — just open it in your phone or desktop browser and start playing.

Can I play it on my phone?

Yes. It works in iPhone and Android browsers, runs entirely on portrait-mode taps, and can be added to your home screen to launch full-screen like an app.

How long does one playthrough take?

About 5 to 10 minutes. Once you finish all 15 weeks of choices your final grade is locked in and you reach an ending.

What kind of game is it?

A college life simulation game where you play as Haru through a 15-week semester. You manage five stats — stamina, sanity, knowledge, friendship and attendance — while surviving invitations from friends, paper deadlines, and midterm and final exams to earn your credit.

How can I lose?

Your attendance dropping below 66% costs you the credit outright. Stamina hitting 0 puts you in bed and forces an absence, and sanity hitting 0 is instant burnout — game over.

How many endings are there?

Fifteen. Which one you reach depends on your final grade combined with the choices you made during the semester, including romance routes and hidden endings.

Where is my save data stored?

Your best grade and unlocked endings are saved only in your own browser’s localStorage, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Fifteen weeks. One credit. Let’s go.
