Description

A QUIRKY ADVENTURE WITH A HORROR VIBE

As a tongue-in-cheek allegory of the school system and its inhumanity towar- ds those who are not suited for it, Heist Schoolers humorously depicts these marginal characters who go through years of school in suffering and come out traumatized.

A 3D COMIC BOOK

A delicious hybrid of comic book and 3D adventure, set-up in a story driven adventure.

FULLY VOICED CINEMATIC MOMENTS

Characters taking life thanks to their talented voice actors and cinematic mise-en-scène.

MINI-MULTILINEARITY

As reaplayability is key, experience multiple times the same adventure under different lenses

A nostalgic ode to old narrative games
