Main character

Newly appointed faculty member given quiet authority over student discipline.

How it opens

The acceptance letter and role assignment appear on your phone the same morning you arrive on campus. Cascadia State has an unofficial but strictly enforced system: every student is measured weekly, and those who fall behind in “discipline metrics” are assigned to an authority figure for correction. Your role has already been locked in.

A list of potential targets appears — loud, arrogant, or rebellious students who have been flagged for taming. The first measurement session is scheduled for this afternoon. You can already feel the quiet power that comes with the position.

Setting

Cascadia State University, a prestigious institution where social status is determined by a mysterious, campus-wide 'Tape Measure' that quantifies personal authority and influence. The player holds a position of power within this system, using psychological and social tactics to enforce the hierarchy.

A branch can end when

  • The player fully tames their chosen targets through weight and psychological control.
  • One or more targets successfully rebel and reverse the power dynamic.
  • The university administration shuts the unofficial system down.
